Overview
Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where Mérida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Mérida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Mérida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Mérida’s quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom’s three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin, the surly Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall.

Viewing Notes
Kudos to Pixar for finally making a strong female-led movie; they’re all too rare in adventure movies and especially in kids’ movies. BRAVE isn’t my favorite Pixar flick, but it’s quite gorgeous and a good morality tale. I was surprised by how real the mother-daughter relationship felt too, at its core. But, that’s what Pixar does well: tell good stories that ring true.
