Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you next for Saving Mr Banks!
@Nickflix just AMAZING reaction for an amazing movie, that motivates me a lot!
Havent finished watching your reaction yet but I already know im going to love it
I know this is off topic but, if you could please react to Dolphin tail.
It’s the true story of Winter the dolphin🐬.
i’m really looking forward to Saving Mr Banks! If you like musicals, can you watch Starkid’s Twisted (Disney parody) and A Very Potter Musical (if you’ve seen the Potter movies). They want everyone to experience their shows so you don’t have to edit them for youtube, you can include your full reactions! I’d start with Potter if you’ve seen the Harry Potter movies. They are funny and charming and moving.
@@thepowerfulwolfspirit.2581 Yeeeesss
Please don't feel bad if you cry during this! It's good that you're sympathetic, empathetic and show your feelings. Those are great traits to have! And they can be rare qualities in men. Be proud!
Oh I cried and was also f*cking scarred of mordu when I was a kid
Yeah please don’t feel bad! It’s alright to cry if you need to
Rare in men? That means………
Nick is rare!
I agree. I’m a guy, and I actually have trouble showing emotions, even when I want to feel them.
A good example would be me wanting to cry about something, and the emotions are there, but I just can’t physically do it.
Exactly. Agree 100%
One thing I admire about this movie is the focus on the mother-daughter relationship. You know pretty well by now that Disney has a habit of killing off parents. Especially mothers. So it's nice to see this relationship put into the spotlight for once.
Habit is a stretch.
I'd put it at no more than 1/3 of their films, probably closer to 1/4.
@@mnomadvfx I don't know, man. I can only think of 3 disney princesses with a living mother. It'd call it a habit
Romance is a strong focus in too much media, including Disney, so I love when other types of relationships are explored. Seriously, it should be done more often.
Well of course they kept the mom alive. Nobody messes with a momma bear. The dad would have been a cool bear but mommas got a reputation for a reason.
@@forestcatkay14 omg I just got that joke. They made her a literal mama bear lol
I love how much Fergus loves his wife, eventhough they were arranged to be wed. He loves his wife and his family enough to avenge them.
My brother came up with one of those “Explain a film plot badly” jokes:
Woman can’t bear her mother. Oh wait… she can.
Oh my God! 😂😂😂
🤣
Oh lord 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
I didn't care for this movie at first, but then the last third went in a crazy direction and the ending burst of emotion where it seemed she really was going to lose her mother broke my heart. I also loved how it wasn't just the parent who changed, "We BOTH have!" and she was right. They both needed to listen and understand each other. Well done PIXAR! You did it again =)
I still haven't dealt with it. I kept saying "She poisoned her mother."
I think I need to rewatch it to see if my perspective has changed.
I loved this film, specially the beginning with the father and lords was so comedic. Literally British humour at its best.
@@SelfImprovement1111 British? It's Scottish though
@@robbinsnest6163 if your Scottish, English or from wales then your British because your from the island of Britain.
@@robbinsnest6163 they said British, not English so they’re correct. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all part of UK/Great Britain so although there are many differences between the 4 countries, the people are all British :)
Brave doesn’t get enough credit. This movie, in my opinion is fantastic. And I can’t watch this movie without crying.
ikr ;v; what makes me cry harder is that this relationship is exactly and i say EXACTLY like how my mum and me are. (not the marriage, obviously lol).
@@zerdapekin2566 it's also kinda the same as mine
Agree
The amount of euphoria I get when I see you’ve uploaded is unmatched
Aw thank you!
Ikr!! Same
This comment represents all of us on a spiritual level 😭
IKR!!
FRR
It feels like a gender-reversed, Scottish Brother Bear to me.
Princess Merida doesn’t sing like the other princesses before her, but those songs like Touch the Sky are her singing from the inside.
That's not the actress singing though (Julie Fowlis is the artist), so it's a stretch to say it's her internal monologue in song.
@@mnomadvfx Not saying that’s the actress singing neither, but the character in general is indeed singing in the inside.
It’s Mother Bear now
As a Scottish follower who’s been here forever soo excited to have you react to this! I remember watching it in the cinema when it first came out as a kid just so enthralled to see a Scottish princess who I thought was just the coolest person ever, 100% loved how fierce she was. Till this day this film for sure has a place in my heart. and Gàidhlig being implemented however small was just so, so special. A beautiful language I hope we succeed to preserve. Love the videos as always!
3:11 Actually she is. She's the first ever Disney PIXAR Princess.
*first and ONLY.
Not really Pixar's wheelhouse in general.
Their human characters have tend to be more common* - like Andy's family in Toy Story, or Reilly's in Inside Out.
Or Linguini in Ratatouille who would have been commonly called a bastard (illegitimate son of Gusteau) 30-40 years ago.
Contrasted to Disney who practically thrive on fairy tale prince/princess type roles for their characters.
*excepting Incredibles which is about a family of superheroes.
Also the first to not have a love interest and the first one to be an older sibling.
Merida reminds me so much of my first wife. So headstrong, and no one DARED to tell her what she could or couldn't do. Because she'd prove you wrong just to spite you. She wasn't perfect, and she made mistakes, but I hold her memory fondly. She taught me what true strength is. Especially when I had to cope with losing her to cancer. I am remarried(arranged by her, I have no doubt), but I keep her memory alive.
I'm sorry you lost the love of your life.
@@Moszan I appreciate that. She was a magnificent woman. She did promise me that "when the time is right, I'll send you someone so that you're not alone for the rest of your life." She lived up to that. My current wife is proof of that. She exceeded everything I could have asked for. Rose knew me well, and she chose well.
Finally someone else who loves Brave as much as I do! It truly is a beautiful movie and not worth all the awful things people keep saying about it
I love this movie so much I don’t get why people hate it
😂🤣😂His expression and the way he said, “He just went right in there.”
🥲😢😭When it looked like she wasn’t changing back.
One of Pixar’s most underrated flicks!
I loved this film since it came out in 2012, but I personally think it felt too rushed. Like it could’ve expanded on its subplot a bit more in regards to this ancient kingdom and Mordu.
The cast did a phenomenal job though! You got Harry Potter stars in the likes of Hagrid, Prof. Trelawney, Molly Weasley, and Helena Ravenclaw in on this movie! It truly earned its Oscar win!
EDIT: And that dedication at the end with the wisp for the late Steve Jobs. What a way to acknowledge him as he did play a role in Pixar’s studio tools. Respect ✊
There’s a short film about the origin of Mordu
One of Disney’s greatest films! It always reminds me that even though me and my own mother are different , we love each other through everything and I wouldn’t change anything . This movie is such a good mother / daughter bonding plot. Understanding that both are different and the complication of budding heads but at the end of the movie, the love for each other is stronger than any tradition. Makes me cry every time I watch it. And makes me hug my mom even harder ❤️
The joke your are referring to is in Wreck It Ralph 2, where all the other princesses are from Disney while she is the only one from Pixar.
Ohhh thanks so much!
Common mistake is some people can’t tell the difference between which animated films were produced by Disney or Pixar!
@@twist58 And before Disney owed Fox, people thought all Fox animated princesses were Disney. Same with some of the Dreamworks. I remember getting into fights with people over Anastasia, and she even showed up on a list of snubbed princesses that should be Disney Princesses (the official line) years ago, way before Disney was even in talks to buy Fox.
I remember hearing that one of Pixar's rules of storytelling (when they initially split off from Disney) was to never have a character sing an "I Want" song. So Disney movies like Frozen, Tangled, Moana, etc sing about their motivations/aspirations. Contrast with Wreck It Ralph, Inside Out, WALL-E, Coco and Brave - there's music the audience can perceive and music in the environment that the characters can hear or play/sing, but none of the main characters declare what they want in song form.
I was in my school choir and one time we had a Disney theme. Me and an another girl sang a duet of Touch the sky
Something about the relationship of the mother and daughter feels a lot more real and human than a lot of the parent relationships depicted in Disney films/Pixar. Probably my favourite Mothersday film to watch with my mum as it reminds me a lot of our relationship and even my relationship with my dad. This film has grown on me more as I've gotten older. But the music and plot is something I've loved always since the first time I saw it, a lot darker than some of Pixar's other works.
Honestly, Merida has always been my favorite princess. I love archery and I love being wild and free. And her relationship with her mom was not much different then mine. I too have struggles with my mother and the rest of my family because I didn’t grow up to act the way they wanted, so I understand Merida so well. It makes me so happy to see you love it as much as I did.
What I love about "Brave" is that the princess has a normal mother and daughter relationship + she doesn't need a prince/guy to have a happy end. She is my favorite princess.
I think this film needs more recognition.
💘 Brave!!! Thank You Nick!!! Parents & children, soon to be adults, may not always agree, but they still love each other - I love Merida -She doesn't need a prince - The story is loosely based on the Greek myth of Atlanta. Wishing for a son, her father left her in the woods to die. She was adopted by a bear. She grew up to be a great archer & did not want to marry.
It does my heart good to see someone so appreciate the culture of my ancestors. Clan MacNaughton and McNitt by blood.
Appreciated not only for that though, your genuine empathy for the characters in this beautiful story is much to do with it as well.
THIS is my all-time favorite Disney princess movies. the producers themselves comment that Merida isn't like any of the previous ones, not being the "damsel in distress", can take care of herself, is good with a bow, etc (and all that gorgeous red hair! and it takes place in ancient Scotland).
I may have seen these Disney and Pixar movies a number of times, but I cry with you every time!
Me too
Mty Mom was my best friend, and I lost her to cancer this year. It was really hard to see this. "i want you back Mummy," really... hits differently. It's the holidays when I'm watching this, and it's really hard. I know she'd be here if she could, and she hung in there as long as she could, but she just couldn't stay with us. I'm happy she's not suffering anymore, but I'm sad for me and my family.
I love this movie simply because I'm Scottish, I love the music, scenery, and accents. Loved seeing your reactions too, so funny! by the way....... that competition/archery scene: the music, so badass
I Love this movie. By far the best Disney Princess movie ever. Good choice. Also the songs were performed by a famous Scottish Singer hence the Scottish movie.
IM SO HAPPY This is without a doubt one of my absolute favorite pixar movies. Also, never be afraid to cry Nick I love when people get as emotional as I do with these movies.
Also what they meant by 'other studio's they were poking fun she was from Pixar while the others were just from Disney pictures studios
Thanks so much for letting me know Rachel and glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Nick. I still lost my voice. Still can’t talk OR sing 🥺 But I’m SO happy you love this film. I remember seeing it in 2012 in the theatre with my mom and we both loved it. Your empathy is your greatest strength and I love that about you in your videos 💚
11:24 Nick shocked: It's like a bear
I chuckled at that... knowing what was to come in the movie XD But glad you enjoyed it through all the emotions!
Did you see the after credits scene by chance? It's a funny joke that pays off from a early scene.
I didn’t haha will have to look at it tonight!
@@nickflix8657 Ah alright! Have fun :)
I loved the deeper aspects of the "Mend the bond" aspect of the spell. Mainly because it had, at least, four layers to it. The first being the tapestry that Meirda tore with her fight with her Mother. The second was the relationship with her Mother, that they BOTH tore by being too prideful to compromise with, or really listen to each other. The third was the bond between the four clans that Meirda almost broke, with her decision to shoot for her own hand. She almost ended the alliance and started a war. And lastly, by killing Mor'du. she freed his spirit, and restored his mind, and mended that last breach that he had caused, so many years ago.
My daughters loved this movie so much!
One of my favorite princesses!!
I love this Scottish setting and her hair is wonderful
Good that you like her hair.
That probably took them the most time of anything to manage animating🤣🤣
I totally understand the emotion - I saw this movie just months after losing my mom and when Merida says "I want you back, Mummy" OMG I lost it right there in the theater.
May your mother rest in peace 😔
If you like the soundtrack and songs, I highly recommend you look up Julie Fowlis. She performed two of the songs in the movie (Touch The Sky & Into The Open Air), and the rest of her music is just as good!
Such an underrated movie. I'm happy you were able to react to this! :)
Whenever you look so broken hearted and are crying, you’re making me cry 😂😭
Love your reactions ❤️
I lived in Scotland for about a year and a half, it truly is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is in the movie. It's freezing most of the time, bit it's so wild and untouched in some parts that it doesn't even matter
I love the score in this movie! The animation is so beautiful! Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺
I love you and your reactions Nick. You usually react the way I would react and I cried alongside you.
My oldest nephew watched this a lot as he was learning to talk. Funnily enough, he learned the word "bear," from it, but he always tried to pronounce it the way they do as well as he could, so it sounded like this wee American lad was saying "beer."
I can’t wait to watch this! I absolutely love how much you appreciate animation, both visually and emotionally ❤️❤️
By the way, you should definitely check out Ga’hoole and Wolfwalkers at some point! They’re both so underrated and unique in their own way!!! 🙌
Love those movies. I actually asked for Wolfwalkers a few months back along with the other Cartoon Saloon movies. But I would also like to see him do Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’hoole. Both of these would be spectacular for him to react to.
Wolfwalkers looks so amazing, but I haven't seen it yet 😭
This is now one of my favorite reactions of yours. I love this movie so much and I cried so much along with you. I have a Merida costume and wig that I bought at Disneyland back in 2014! I’ve been having some tough couple of days and today I couldn’t get out of bed to eat or do anything, so this really cheered me up. Thank you so much for this! You just made my week ❤️❤️
This is my favorite Pixar movie. I found myself crying along with you on this one. It's such a beautiful story and I love the characters, setting, score, and general atmosphere of this film! I saw it in theaters when it came out and it's been one of my favorite movies ever since
Me too.
So happy to see your reaction to this! One of my favourite Disney movies. Similar as Coco, the family matters just tears me up just like you :) . I think this was the first Disney Princess without a love interest, but had another - bigger - love story, like the one of a parent and kid. The three boys are just so precious :D
Btw this Disney movie also has a post-credit-scene at the very end :D
if you've not seen Braveheart yet (with Mel Gibson), you are ready for it now, regarding the scottish scenery and the accents :D Definitely a must-see.
"I think this was the first Disney Princess without a love interest"
Actually if you notice at the end Merida and Wee Dingwall are getting along very well 😅
No biting kids! 🤣🤣🤣
"if you've not seen Braveheart yet (with Mel Gibson), you are ready for it now, regarding the scottish scenery and the accents :D Definitely a must-see."
Brave -> Braveheart is like The American President -> Olympus Has Fallen...
About as lateral a jump from twee to bloodbath as possible in other words! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for the reaction, this is one of my favorites, glad I am not the only one that teared up at it. You should really consider watching Ferdinand and Balto!
Oh I haven’t finished the reaction yet but I just KNOW nick is going to absolutely love this movie and I’m going to love watching it with him!!
I adore this movie. Tears EVERY TIME, even though I know how it ends.
40:01 me too.
Tbh, this is my most favourite movie I ever watch when I was a kid! Thank you so much for reacting to this movie Nick! Love your reaction.
I saw Brave in theaters for my friend's birthday. It is possibly my favorite Pixar film of all time. I'm so glad you reacted to this!
The singer from this film is Julie Fowlis. I highly recommend looking her up, she's absolutely fantastic!
“Now they’re mini bears” that was the cutest 😂
You should definitely watch the movie "Klaus" one of the best movies in recent years!! Highly recommended
Nick, you really light up other people’s lives through doing this, I hope you know that.
Watching all of your reactions - your laughter, smiles, wonder, AND tears - brings such joy to my heart. And I’m sure all of us would say the same.
Also, I love the new background! You’re moving up in the world of RUclipsrs!
trivia: Film Takes place in 10-11th century Scotland
Anachronisms
-The scene where Merida's dress splits, and reveals her corset, Corsets didn't come into fashion until Elizabethan times, approximately 600 years after the movie's apparent setting.
-Merida is depicted with a recurve bow and quiver which medieval britain never used.
- Merida' horse seems to be a Shire or a Clydesdale, But neither of these breeds existed in 10th cen.
- The Kilt wasn't invented til the 18th century
Brave is up there in my top 5 Disney movies. It is so good and so underrated! I really like how it doesn't involve a romantic love story and focused on a familial relationship that is so relatable. This movie is so refreshing compared to a lot of the other princess stories. The comedic moments are on point, but the emotional turmoil between mother and daughter really hits hard. This one doesn't seem to have achieved the same popularity as some other Disney films, but I think that's because it's less childish and more well-balanced with things that will resonate stronger with adults than with little kids. I am in awe at the quality of the storytelling in this movie. They set the scene so beautifully, you feel like you are transported there. I just think they did such a good job making this film so immersive for the audience. I love it when a film can do that for me. It's kind of rare for animated films to do that for me, so kudos to the filmmakers who worked on this one.
So happy you’re doing Saving Mr. Banks next! Really good acting, even if the story is a bit sanitized.
I loved your reaction to this Nick! I cry so much in it myself, gets me every time. I can't remember if you've reacted to Onward yet but if not you should!!! Such an underrated film for how much it makes me cry
In my opinion, this one is criminally underrated
I love seeing the notifications pop up for new videos of yours but this one especially made my night, maybe because I'm Scottish but I connect with this movie so much (Music, story, visuals all of it) it's definitely a favourite of mine (most are tbh 😅 there's very few I don't like)
Love the reaction, Nick! Also, the reference in Wreck-It-Ralph to Merida being from "the other studio" is based on how the movie is Disney-Pixar, instead of just Disney like the other princesses. :)
My favorite part is where Fergus pretends to be Merida imitating her with a high pitched voice.
lets goooooo. nick is the best!
This movie really didn't resonate with me until I was much older. Great message on relationships in general 👏
This is by far my favourite Disney/Pixar film. But then, I'm Scottish, so maybe I'm biased.
You always bright my day with your videos. Thank you :D
I love that you cry like I do at these beautiful films for all ages xxx
The part where the mom did a motion of a bow and arrow she tried to tell Merida "no weapons on the table" that is like her number one rule in the house and since Merida could not understand she did the motion of that to try to tell her "no weapons on the table"
I totally agree. If she wants to use a bow and arrow she should be able to. She’s my kind of girl. Like father, like daughter.
You're my favorite RUclipsr
I’m so glad I found your channel when I did. Your reactions are always so entertaining and I love watching them. Can’t wait for Saving Mr. Banks!
Brave is a Disney movie, but as it was produced by Pixar Studios, Merida really was from "the other studio" in the Wreck It Ralph sequel. Using it as the reason no one could decipher her Scottish accent was brilliant though. XD
She starts becoming a real bear when ever food is involved. I don’t recall if there was a specific reason though.
A lot in this movie fell short for me, buuuuut……honestly this is MY heritage and so I was holding some pretty high expectations. Either way, I still get such a blood rush at that opening song scene. 🥰 My Scotland!!!
i love this one!!
reminds me of Brother Bear
Moana also reminds me of Brother Bear with some of its magical aspects though they are very very different movies, just saying!!!
@@alexglass2927 same.
Even though the whole "change into a bear to learn a lesson" is, oddly, done a bunch what I find the best about this one is that the diplomatic mother has to fight and the fighting daughter has to be diplomatic to undo the spell it's a very well done telling of "walking a mile in my shoes".
I had a very similar situation with both my mum and dad, ironically, about who I was dating where things did get out of control at times. I'll never forget it because I learned they were right and I was wrong but we are all better for it to have happened. 😊
It's very clever how they incorporated Merida voicing that, yes, this IS all her fault, into the spell being broken, notice that throughout the movie Merida constantly says "it's not my fault!" until she comes face to face with irreversible consequences that she realizes she has to take responsibility for her selfish act and accept that she, not only lost her mum, but the kingdom lost its Queen, her brothers are lost under the same spell, and her dad lost his wife 😮 its one of the reasons the scene is so powerful.❤❤
fun fact: there is a certain _theory_ that states that all the Pixar movies take place in one Universe. Pushers of this theory also believe that the witch in this may be Boo from Monsters Inc.
Oh Nicky before I forget, I think you would really love Bambi 2. It's actually really heartwarming
It’s coming really soon actually!
@@nickflix8657 oh! Thats great! I hope that you really enjoy it then! I know that I definitely shed some tears watching it!
I think both the "Young Princess Chafing Against Expectations" story and the "Family Member Turns Into Large Mammal" story are both pretty good, but they kind of undermine each other when put together and keeps them from being the best version of themselves.
With the Christmas season drawing near, one holiday special I’m sure you’ve yet to see is, “Olive, The Other Reindeer”.
i sobbed so many times in the theater watching this with my mom. i'm glad someone else was able to feel those same emotions! i cried when they had their argument after the archery contest, i cried through the whole third act- i had a headache after i left, but i just wanted to hug my mom for a decade after this movie!
0:27 I think everyone I know including me does that head nodding movement whenever luxo’s doing that XD
this movie is so so so so so sad but nick your reaction was amazing but i cried at this movie 😢 and i never ever cry at movies
I'm so happy u finally reacted to this,this one of my all time favourite childhood movies,I love this movie so much, especially the music
Her horse Angus, is called a Clydesdale, biggest horses with hairy hooves. Her brother's were cuter as bears.
Actually, Angus is a Shire. Still a big horse.
Her mom said the first born of each of the Kingdoms present, in which Merida was a first born
Baby Merida is so CUTE!!! 🥺🥺🥺
You are, like, the most sweet and honest person alive. I just love you
I love Brave. It's too underrated for what it is. Love that it's not your typical musical where there is singing like every 10 minute like other animations. It has a very nice story to it.
I LOVE this movie. Truly. It gets overlooked and even hated but it really gets me 🥺💓
Disney Princess movies:
Seen: Moana, Brave,Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, Mulan, Pocahontas, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella.
To See: Raya and the Last Dragon, Frozen, Frozen 2, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
I never tear up watching movies alone, but when nick does im right there with it
when you learn that the prince turned into mor'du... every time i get chills in that scene! it's terrifyingly well done.
This movie have a whole new meaning to a mama bear will always protect her cubs
In The end of Brave You could see that there’s a memory of Steve Jobs the co-founder of Apple and Pixar for CG Animation
40:25 I’m glad 🙂 she’s back to normal.
"O_O He just went right in there!" Omg, I can't stop laughing!!!!!
Merida IS from the “other studio.” Pixar made her.
Hello Nick I love your reactions, they are genuine and great watching them is just awesome everytime. I would like to request the first episode of an old anime series, its called Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and the first episode to the series is AMAZING its dark, scary and has an immense sense of courage and like this movie it has a big bear. Keep up the good work Nick :)
Best regards from Sweden.
Next you should watch Onward, another beautiful movie about family love.
