    Brave Movie Description:
    Brave is a 2012 American animated fantasy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film was directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman (in the former's feature directorial debut), co-directed by Steve Purcell, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, with John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, and Pete Docter serving as executive producers. The story was written by Chapman, who also wrote the film's screenplay with Andrews, Purcell, and Irene Mecchi. The film stars the voices of Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane, Kevin McKidd, and Craig Ferguson. Set in the Scottish Highlands, the film tells the story of Princess Merida of DunBroch (Macdonald) who defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in the kingdom by expressing the desire not to be betrothed. When Queen Elinor (Thompson), her mother, falls victim to a beastly curse and turns into a bear, Merida must look within herself and find the key to saving the kingdom. Merida is the first character in the Disney Princess line to be created by Pixar. The film is also dedicated to Pixar chairman and Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, who died before the film's release.
    Brave is Pixar's first film with a female protagonist, and the first one animated with a new proprietary animation system, called Presto. Originally titled The Bear and the Bow, the film was first announced in April 2008 alongside Up (2009) and Cars 2 (2011). Chapman, who had just wrapped up work as a story artist on Cars (2006), drew inspiration for the film's story from her relationship with her own daughter. Co-directing with Andrews and Purcell, Chapman became Pixar's first female director of a feature-length film. To create the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years. Brave is the first film to use the Dolby Atmos sound format. The filmmakers created three original tartan patterns for three of the four clans in the film. Patrick Doyle composed the film's musical score.
    Brave premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival on June 10, 2012, and was theatrically released in North America on June 22. Receiving generally positive reviews, it was a box office success, grossing $540.4 million against a $185 million budget. The film won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Feature Film. Preceding the feature theatrically was a short film entitled La Luna, directed by Enrico Casarosa.

    Fun Fact for ya, Maudie is a wet nurse meaning when the queen has a baby it was seen as beneath her to breastfeed (or if she simply couldn't/ didn't want to, different cultures) and she was busy with running a household (especially a castle) and didn't have time for the daily care of a baby so a wet nurse was the one who would take care of the daily child rearing

      I'm so glad someone brought this up. People have forgotten that back in the day, "nurses" were called that because they actually nursed the children during infancy. The nurse in Romeo and Juliet is a prime example. She is often cast as an old woman, but in reality, she had to have been younger, because she breastfed Juliet, who is only 13 in the play.

    Definitely agree about turning red and periods. Periods need to be normalized more instead of being seen as a ‘dirty little secret’. Some places in the world women and girls are seen as ‘dirty’ when she’s having her period which is just very backwards. And there are some guys who would balk at the suggestion of getting pads or tampons for their partner or daughter. But thankfully there are other men who just view it as a medical necessity and don’t think women “can just hold it in”.

    This is one of my favourite films, period. The lullaby that Elinor sings to Merida in that flashback scene when they're out in the rain the night they first flee the castle, that song is sung in Scottish Gaelic and was the first (and might still be only) case of a Disney Princess singing in her native language; a few others feature native languages in the film, such as Moana, though the princesses themselves don't sing in the language themselves. I haven't seen some of the newer ones so it may have changed, so please feel free to correct me, anyone, but it's still the first case of a Disney princess singing in her native language! In English, the song is called Noble Maiden Fair and was written just for this film.

Clever writing like her father never believing in magic and is willing to believe his daughter went crazy than the ounce of belief that she was right. Overall it is a very well done movie and the feelings that Mell had is well justified. Especially when all hope is lost to her and she says how she feels.

    9:26 Young MacGuffin is speaking Doric - it's an actual dialect from Scotland. The voice actor Kevin McKidd (who also voices Lord MacGuffin) has relatives in the area who have that accent.
    It turns out he said: "If he were a wee bit closer I could lob ma caber at him, ya ken?" Caber tossing is a game in the Highland Games - lifting a long heavy log (caber) and seeing how far you can throw it. "Ma" meaning "my", "ya ken?" meaning "you know".
    Later he says "It's just nae fair making us fight for the hand o'a quain who doesnae want a bit of it, ken?" meaning "it's just hot fair making us fight for the hand of a girl who doesn't want a bit of it, you know?"

    My man, never be ashamed of emotion. The fact that a story can make you well up, can make you tear open that wellspring of empathy means that you have a heart. That you can relate to your fellow man. It means that you are Human! Never be ashamed to be human...those that don't feel another's pain, that can't express sympathy, regret, or love...those people should feel shame. They sold the greatest gift we were given, gave it away as if it were so much trash...they sold their own Humanity. So you keep on singing, keep on dancing, keep on screaming, and let the tears flow like the waves of the ocean!

    This movie is one of my favorite Pixar films of all time because of the Celtic music and how they understand Fate, and that it highlights the relationship between a Girl and her mother and how the burden our parents sometimes put on us to be just like, if not Better version of them instead of being the best version of ourselves. Merida at first sees it as Her mom Wants her to be just like her (well I'm not going to be like you) when her mom is trying to teach her how to handle the Pressures of being a "princess" because she's the Heir to her family 's "Throne" but her mom thinks there's only one way to be a Princess/Queen.

    Most of us when we’ve been locked in for a long time and told what to do and who to be , sometimes as ppl growing , it’s not that we wanna break that bond or intentionally do , it’s that most of us have been held back even by those we love most , we are appreciative of everything they do , but sometimes we as humans just wanna navigate and see if we can manage on our own without the need of having to be at our parents side for everything or in most cases ppl have been treated indifferently by there own families and sometimes just breaking away helps us heal and most of all grow ❤️

    I love this movie, my family has deep Scottish/Irish roots. I am directly related to a few well known Scottish people. The cravings on the stones in the beginning are Pictish (I also come from deep rooted pictish ancestry) not much is known about them. All that's left are some carvings that archeologists still haven't been able to really figure out. We know that they were very tough. So tough that even the Romans who were feared by many wouldn't mess with them. They were known to be covered head to toe in blue paint or tattoos and were naked with the exception of a few chains around their necks, waist and limbs. We dont know where they went but I think they were breed/cultured out and a lot of them just let go of who they were and it was forgotten. Scottish is beautiful and I hope to go there one day and visit the house of my namesake Sorbie tower.

    I saw this movie in theaters with my mom when it came out. For the entire movie she glanced and smiled at me . She saw Merida in me, but my mom and have an amazing relationship so she never tried to change that part of me that's independent , wild and spontaneous. Im so appreciative of that because of lot of people tried to change me as a little girl and its scared me a little. But the older I get the more I don't care. SO that's why I love this movie because she reminds me to be myself always.

    I think a lot of the negative reaction was from how misleading the trailers were. They made it look like you were going to go off with this archer girl on a grand adventure around medieval Scotland when it was really a mom-daughter bonding movie. They really played up the archery because Hunger Games was huge at the time and people went in just expecting something else.

    She’s literally is the only princess that never had help from a man. Like she literally fought against her dad! She has big bushy curls! She, instead of losing her parents in some tragic way or anything bad like that, mended the bond (placed that 100% on purpose 😂) with her mother. This is the BEST movie for little girls and for them to feel like they can be badass without the help of a man. Bonus! She didn’t end up in a relationship at the end of the movie!

Nothing against Turning Red, but the mother/daughter relationship in this hit so much harder with my relationship with my mom. Probably because she wasn't really around enough for us to have the relationship the mother/daughter had in that movie. I never understood why people dislike it as much as they do - it's such a beautiful movie.

    I've always loved this movie because Merida looks exactly like my mom, they both have the curly, untamable, fiery red hair and seeing a main character that looks like my mom and represents Scottish culture so well meant the world to me. (my mom's side of the family is Scottish). Now that I'm older I still love this movie and can see that my mom sees me as her own Merida.
    I cannot properly put into words just how much this movie meant to me then and still does now, but it will always have a special place in my heart.
