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 co-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.[8] The filmmakers created three original tartan patterns for three of the four clans in the film. Patrick Doyle composed the film's musical score.

    Guys... I swear I'm not really this pale and ginger... it's just my Scottish genes came out for this video!!!!
  • @alexreid1173
    Fun fact! Scotland actually used to have bears, but they went locally extinct because of hunting in the country. There were some bears around in the middle ages. They were rare even then, but they existed.
  • I love how the boys weren’t even scared of seeing their Mom as a bear 😅 they just look to their sister like “why is this bear scolding us?”
  • @bhelliom3
    It just occurred to me that her dad’s story about losing a leg will forever be upstaged by his wife responding, “Remember when I fist-fought him?”
  • @Shmurph
    I heard that originally, Young MacGuffin was actually just going to be speaking gibberish as a joke, but the voice actor suggested having him speak that dialect, since he himself was fluent in it.
  • @agenttheater5
    25:03 The moment when Merida realises and we all realise that Elinor wasn't raising her just to be a wife to sit meekly behind her husband and to do whatever she's told. She's raised her to be a queen - to govern her clan and her kingdom alongside her husband just as she's been doing with Fergus. Etiquette, public speaking and history, all necessary skills you need when you're sitting at the head of a people.
  • @Kriseaf
    9:27 My mouth DROPPED when you actually translated that, that was amazing.
  • @loriwbahadur
    I took a little, elderly Scottish woman named Maria to see this in a small theater, here; in Jacksonville. We came out of the theater, and every little girl swarmed her, wanting to talk to Merida; thinking that was her story. Maria was so happy to have the attention of all those little girls, it made her cry. It was an honor to spend the day with her. The movie was all the energy she had, but, when I dropped her off at her apartment in the senior living building, I bet she went straight to sleep and dreamt well of home, and that lake of little girls.

    I really enjoyed this movie and I don't know why people like to hate on it. It's a beautiful story of a daughter's relationship with her mom. And it's so nice to see the parents have such a loving relationship. Like...I STAND THIS FILM!!
  • One of the details of the tapestry that I love is that Merida is the one holding her mother's hand, anchoring Eleanor to the rest of the family that she's so different from in many ways (reserved and brunette versus boisterous and redheaded to start with).
  • @ravenm6443
    Also when Merida goes against her father. She’s a bad ass!!! ⚔️🛡️ she’s clearly a daddy’s girl, but she loves her mom just as much and was willing to go against her father to protect her even though her mom hasn’t listened to her the past.
  • @Taylor-pv7wv
    omg thank you for translating what that guys son says I never understood growing up! 😂
  • @voxorox
    The entire cast is Scottish, and they added true Scot touches to their lines during recording. Nobody was putting on their accents; all were authentic.

    “Our fate lives within us. You only need to be brave enough to see it.” My high school senior quote.
  • @cyagami90
    Its nice to see an actual scottish person react. As an american i get tired of people just reacting to the doric in this like "wHys hE SpeAkInG GiBbErIsh" plus loved that you translated for us with less trained ears.
  • @zammmerjammer
    As a very very curly girl, when I first saw a teaser for this movie, I shrieked out loud in the theatre when Merida pulled back her hood to reveal this CASCADE of curly hair.
  • @RainyLS
    25:45 "It's just not fair making us fight for a quine that does not want any part of it" I saw it in a video once. Edit: Thanks to the person who corrected the queen to quine
  • @lorettabes4553
    Mordu had 12 year old me shaking in my boots, I was terrified of him. Esp that one show where they made him quickly look at the camera
  • @jessquinn6106
    Bears were roaming Scotland and the whole of the isles till mid 1500's and are found decorating medieval tapestry, metal work, stone work and written documents.
  • When I worked at Walt Disney World, one of the face actors playing Merida in the Festival of Fantasy Parade was actually Scottish and also a lesbian. We were work friends. She very easily pushed Merida up the ranks to top 3 favorite princesses in my mind. I miiiiight've had a huge crush on her lmao.
