I Was NOT Ready For Disney Pixar's *BRAVE* Got Way Too Invested!

Fun fact: They had to make a whole new code just to animate Merida's curly red locks for this movie and it's CHANGED the game of animating hair ever since. Sully's fur in Monsters Inc. was a similar story.

Fun fact, this movie is actually considered one of the most hated Pixar movies by YouTube critics, I personally like it lol

9:24 18:25 27:55 He’s speaking Doric. The actor was so happy to put some authentic native dialect there when the directors wanted him to speak gibberish. It was his hometown language and his grandfather spoke it.

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

My little Irish grandmother used to tell me the Celtic fable "The Bear and the Bow" when I was little. When this movie came out, I was in tears before the intro even started! They did an amazing job on this one.

a few years ago, I watched a girl who is Scottish do a reaction video of Brave, and she actually knew what the one boy was saying when no one else did! he was speaking "English" but it was with Scottish slang with his heavy accent.

Merida and Mulan are my favourite disney princesses. Brave is genuinely such an underrated movie, it's nice to see it hit someone else just as hard as it hits me.

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”.

The beginning always gets me. Her Husband jumps in front of that bear and Elanora grabs up her kid and jumps on that horse so fast , and she has to take off on the horse having to leave her Husband behind to save their child. You know that's a terrible choice to make, but she makes it decisively. That's how you know Elanora may be a lady, but she is a strong woman. And her husband is a beast too. I love this couple. Relationship goals.

I lost my mom not too long before this movie first came out. I had a lump in my throat throughout most of it, but at the end when Merida is crying "I want you back" OMG I just started bawling in the movie theater!

that scene where merida goes sword to sword with her dad to protect her mom is my favorite and makes me tear up every time

I always cry at the speech she gives at the end. That "You've always been there for me" gets me EVERY TIME 😢

Finally someone who also cried at the ending part when we thought her mother was gone. That part always has me bawling. Especially because of the music.

Angus is 10/10 the best horse friend and the goodest boy... sticks with her even though he's terrified. Also HIS ANIMATION IS STELLAR. I love this movie, thanks for your honest and thoughtful reaction!

It's the fact Merida's mom doesn't break out of her restraints until her daughter is about to be hurt. Not even when she herself was about to DIE. That momma bear instinct came out the moment her baby was in trouble

You bring such insight to your reactions. I think your ability to analyze the depth of character in others shows reflects how much and how deep your own character is.

I love that you immediately made the connection between HTTYD and Brave! I was a big Tumblr girlie back in the day, and there was this pretty big crossover fandom between Tangled, Brave, Rise of the Guardians and How to Train Your Dragon called Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons (please don't judge us, we were teens having fun). One of the big ships coming out of that fandom was actually Hiccup and Merida, which I enjoyed myself, so it made my inner 16 year old giggle when you immediately mentioned HTTYD

Im from scotland and in scotland right now 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😊 This was amazing! The scenery is very good and accurate and they did quite a good job historically speaking plus the music is great. Most of the voice actors are beloved scottish actors and the dad is the legend comedian billy connelly 😊 i dont know why so many people didnt like it maybe because there was quite a lot of scottish humour they didnt get but i love it one of my fav animated movies and my kids love it too. The lad that nobody can understand was voiced by kevin mckidd and he played the blonde dad and son. I always took it to be kind of an Aberdeen strong accent or at least somewhere up the top of scotland but i can understand most of what he is saying not everything though its still strong even for me 😂 really glad you enjoyed it and it gets me everytime at the end too still so emotional! 🥹❤️

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.

I absolutely love this movie. it was my older daughter's favorite when she was younger and she got to meet her at Disney World just walking around the park and we saw her and my daughter was so star struck and happy. The cutest pictures when she was itty bitty.
