==Story==

−

''Brave'' is set in ancient times in the Scottish [[DunBroch Kingdom|kingdom of DunBroch]] and focuses on a princess named [[Merida]], the daughter of [[King Fergus]] and [[Queen Elinor]]. When Elinor tells Merida that she must marry a prince, Merida visits a [[Witch]] who gives her a spell that will change Elinor's mind. However, she ends up getting more than she bargained for.

−

==Plot==

−

[[File:Brave (2012) - Theatrical Trailer for Brave|thumb|300px|right|Theatrical Trailer #2]] The storyline begins in the Scottish [[DunBroch Kingdom|kingdom of DunBroch]], with [[King Fergus]] presenting his young daughter, [[Merida]], with a bow and arrow for her birthday, to the discomfort of Merida's mother, [[Queen Elinor]]. During their outing, a giant bear named [[Mor'du]] attacks the family. Fergus fights off the bear to give Elinor and Merida a chance to escape, at the cost of his left leg.

−

Years later, Elinor, who has since given birth to identical [[The Triplets|triplet boys]], attempts to teach Merida in the ways of the court. The princess, however, is determined to practice her archery and explore the kingdom on her horse, [[Angus]], in what her mother calls an unladylike fashion.

−

Soon, the lords [[Lord Macintosh|Macintosh]], [[Lord MacGuffin|MacGuffin]], and [[Lord Dingwall|Dingwall]] arrive to compete for the Highlands Games and present their first-born sons in a competition for Merida's hand. Merida chooses archery as the challenge to determine her betrothed. Lord Dingwall's [[Wee Dingwall|son]] wins by accident, but Merida enters herself as first-born of DunBroch and shoots the targets over Elinor's objections. The two have a falling out, resulting in Merida's tearing Elinor's handmade tapestry depicting the family, and Elinor in turn throwing Merida's bow into a fireplace.

−

Fleeing to the forest in tears, Merida encounters a trail of [[Will O’ the Wisps|Will O' the Wisps]] that lead her to an elderly [[witch]]'s hut. Merida bargains with the witch for a spell that will change Elinor, thus changing Merida's fate. The witch conjures a cake for Merida, who returns to the castle and presents it to her mother. Elinor eats the cake and soon afterward, transforms into a bear. Merida and Elinor sneak out of the castle past Fergus and the visiting clans with the aid of the triplets and return to the witch's cottage, where they find the witch long gone because she is "out of stock", but a message left for Merida: the spell will be permanent unless undone by the second sunrise. The witch leaves Merida a riddle, mentioning that a pride-torn bond must be repaired. Growing frantic, Merida tosses in the other message potions, which overloads the cauldron. Elinor shields her daughter as the explosion destroys the cottage. As it starts to rain, mother and daughter decide to stay the night in what's left of the cottage.

−

The next morning, Merida teaches Elinor how to catch fish from the river, and the two begin to reconcile. However, for a brief period Elinor starts to act like a wild bear, nearly mauling Merida. They are led by more wisps to the ruins of an old castle. In the throne room, Merida finds a damaged stone engraving, depicting three brothers; the fourth brother had been cut off from the other three, just like how Merida had cut her mother off from the tapestry. Merida realizes that the curse had happened before, and that the man was transformed into the raging bear Mor'du, and Elinor will lose all traces of her humanity just the same if they did not break the spell in time. Just then, she is attacked by the demon bear and barely escapes. They travel back to the castle to sew the family tapestry back together. They find Fergus and the lords on the verge of war because of Merida's actions. Merida brings the four factions back together and declares that one should choose who he marry according to his heart. Her suitors agree, stating that their arranged marriage was their fathers' idea. Thus, the clan leader agree that their sons must win Merida's heart before winning her hand. Fergus briefly returns to his bedroom to find Elinor and when he finds Elinor's ripped clothes and smashed bed, mistaking his wife for dead. He bursts into the tapestry room, where he finds Merida and Elinor the bear. Elinor, once again reverting to a true bear, attacks Fergus, and after regaining her human mind and realizing she has harmed both Merida and Fergus, Elinor flees.

−

Merida tries to convince her father that the bear is Elinor, but Fergus, having once been declared by Elinor to "not believe in magic," locks her in the room and sets off with the lords to capture and kill the bear. Merida is freed with the help of her three brothers, who have turned into cubs after finding and eating what was left of the witch's cake, and the four follow the wisps to where Fergus has captured Elinor. Merida defends Elinor by confronting Fergus, but Mor'du attacks the party. When he lunges for Merida, Elinor intervenes and battles Mor'du. Elinor bashes Mor'du against a weakened stone pillar, which just in time collapses onto and kills him. The group sees a wisp emerge from Mor'du's body, which reveals the human form of the fourth brother, whose spirit is now freed from the curse. He then flies away to join the other wisps. Merida puts the repaired tapestry on top of her wounded mother. The sun starts to rise, and the spell on Elinor begins to become permanent, and Merida tries to get her mother back, but it doesn't work, and Merida weeps. In the process, she finally mends her bond with Queen Elinor, and Elinor and her sons are turned back into humans, albeit naked. A few days later, the clans depart for their respective lands and Merida and Elinor ride their horses together, sharing a closer relationship than before. The triplets stow away on one of the departing boats, forcing their father to chase after them in a rowboat.

−

In a post-credits scene, one of the guards in front of the castle is awakened by the witch's pet [[The Crow|crow]] asking him to sign for an extremely large collection of wooden bear-themed sculptures, which Merida bought from the witch earlier in the film.

−

The film, Pixar's first fairy tale, is a combination of [[Brenda Chapman]]'s love of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, as well as a reflection on raising her daughter.<ref name="AicNews">[http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36333 Quint discusses the Pixar half of the Disney Animation Presentation! UP! WALL-E! TOY STORY 3! NEWT! THE BEAR & THE BOW!]</ref>

−

The film departs from the traditional fairy tale storyline, neglecting the romance that has been associated with these stories. It focuses on the relationship between Merida and her mother Queen Elinor, which was inspired to Chapman by her own relation with her daughter.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/03/09/brave-to-focus-on-mother-daughter-relationship-will-overlook-romance/ ‘Brave’ To Focus On Mother-Daughter Relationship, Will Overlook Romance]</ref>

−

Chapman was supposed to be the film's sole director - and Pixar’s first female director. But on October [[2010]], it was reported that Pixar had replaced Chapman with [[Mark Andrews]]. Although Andrews was in charge of guiding ''Brave'' across the finish line, both Andrews and Chapman are credited as the movie’s directors.<ref name="Entertainment Weekly" />

−

Following his involvement as director, Mark Andrews did a heavy lifting to the story, to focus down on the core story. Among others, he cleared away many magic elements, which he found affected the environment.<ref>[http://www.slashfilm.com/film-interview-mark-andrews-director-pixars-brave/ /Film Interview: Mark Andrews, Director of Pixar’s ‘Brave’]</ref> However, he wanted to stay truthful to Chapman's story. He said:"The bones of the film were totally fine. That was not the issue. What was hanging off the bones, there were problems. There were things that were not working. The focuses and balances that were out of whack."<ref>[http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/director-mark-andrews-talks-taking-over-brave-end-result-john-carter/ Director Mark Andrews Talks Taking Over 'Brave' and the End Result of 'John Carter']</ref>

−

The film was initially set for release on June 15, [[2012]], but was later changed to June 22, 2012.<ref name="TheWrap">[http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/disney-changes-release-date-brave-25575 Disney Changes Release Date for 'The Brave']</ref>

−

Although the production of the film started in [[2008]], Brenda Chapman had already began work years earlier. As early as in [[2006]], several members of the crew made a research trip in Scotland.<ref>[http://entertainment.time.com/2012/02/24/behind-the-scenes-of-pixars-brave/#pixar_brave_01 Behind the Scenes of Pixar's Brave]</ref> They made a total of two trips to Scotland for the film.<ref>[http://www.pixartalk.com/2012/04/brave-fun-facts/ Brave Fun Facts!]</ref> Among others they visited the Eilean Donan and Dunnottar Castles, as well as the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis, which inspired the circle of standing stones that appears in the film.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/04/10/how-the-legends-and-beauty-of-scotland-inspired-brave/ How The Legends and Beauty Of Scotland Inspired ‘Brave’]</ref>

−

For ''Brave'', Pixar rewrote its animation system for the first time in 25 years.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/03/29/pixar-rewrote-its-animation-system-for-first-time-in-25-years-for-brave/ Pixar Rewrote Its Animation System For First Time In 25 Years For ‘Brave’]</ref>

−

To reproduce the lush and texture look of the landscapes of the Highlands, Pixar animators and designers created around 350 custom brushes in Photoshop, so that they could layer different designs, patterns and shapes in layers other to achieve a realistic and invisible look to all of the environments.<ref name="slashfilm">[http://www.slashfilm.com/11-learned-pixars-brave-d23-expo/ 11 Things We’ve Learned About Pixar’s ‘Brave’ (D23 Expo)]</ref>

In discussing the creative process at Pixar in an interview for Bloomberg TV, John Lasseter said, "When we start a project, every Pixar film, there's something in the story that we need to do, that we don't know how to do, when we start the process. Every single one. And, with ''Brave'', there was a lot. It's our first period film set in history. This is extremely difficult to do with computer animation, because to make it believable to the audience, every thing you see in the film, the castle, the stones the castle is made of, the trees with the moss on it, all this has a sense of history to it, has an age, you can see it in there. It's been there a ''really'' long time. We don't get that for free. Live action film, you can go on location and film stuff. But everything you see in a Pixar film has to be designed, and modeled, shaded. What I often say to these brilliant people here at Pixar that invent something so new it's unbelievable, when they really get done with it, I say, ‘You know what? Because of what you did that's so brilliant, the audience will never notice it because it's so believeable.’"<ref name="Inside Pixar">Bloomberg TV interview, [http://www.bloomberg.com/video/inside-pixar-we-re-about-telling-stories-MS1Pj0M6TIyWFD1VNWEEYA.html "Inside Pixar"], February 6, 2013</ref>

−

Animators were introduced to the weapons used in the film, in order to understand their working: some went into archery classes, while Mark Andrews taught swordfighting to animators.<ref name="TIME">[http://entertainment.time.com/2012/02/24/behind-the-scenes-of-pixars-brave/?photo=pixar_brave_02#pixar_brave_07 Behind the Scenes of Pixar's Brave]</ref>

−

Originally, Reese Witherspoon was planned to voice [[Princess Merida]], but she was unable to work on the film due to scheduling issues and was replaced by [[Kelly Macdonald]] as a result.<ref name="Entertainment Weekly" />

−

Celtic and Pictish design and patterns have been integrated everywhere throughout the film, on Merida's bow, on clothing, walls, as well as to natural elements like snowflakes, moss or tree branches.<ref name="PTd23" />

−

The original idea had 80% of the scenes taking place in the snow. In the final movie however, very few snow scenes remain.<ref name="PTd23">[http://pixartimes.com/2011/08/22/d23-expo-the-art-of-brave/ D23 2011: The Art of Brave Panel]</ref>

−

The end credits of the movie include a special tribute to [[Steve Jobs]].<ref>[http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/05/25/pixars-brave-pays-ghostly-tribute-to-steve-jobs/?mod=WSJBlog&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Pays Ghostly Tribute to Steve Jobs]</ref>

−

===Rating===

−

''Brave'' is rated PG by the MPAA (for some scary action and rude humor).<ref>[http://www.filmratings.com/filmRatings_Cara/downloads/pdf/resources/bulletin/cara_rating_bulletin.pdf MPAA BULLETIN NO: 2222]</ref>

−

==Reception==

−

''Brave'' currently has a score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 183 reviews, making it the third Pixar movie to receive a rating below a 90%. The first 2 were ''[[Cars]]'' (74%) and ''[[Cars 2]]'' (38%).

−

Critic Roger Ebert was quoted saying that, "The good news is that the kids will probably love it, and the bad news is that parents will be disappointed if they're hoping for another Pixar groundbreaker."

−

==Attached Short Film==

−

Attached to ''Brave'' is the Academy Award nominated short ''[[La Luna]]'', directed by [[Enrico Casarosa]], which premiered in June 2011 at the Annecy International Film Festival.

−

==Possible sequel==

−

In June 2012, [[Kevin McKidd]] stated that he hoped that a sequel to ''Brave'' would have a marriage of [[Young MacGuffin]] and [[Merida]].<ref>[http://scottishactors.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/brave-move-to-film-sequel.html Brave move to film sequel]</ref><ref>[http://www.kevinmckiddonline.com/1/post/2012/06/brave-2-sequel.html Brave 2 Sequel]</ref><ref>[http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/brave-move-to-film-sequel-1-2375798]</ref>

−

In April 2013, [[Mark Andrews]] was asked by ''The Scotsman'' if there will be a sequel. He said: "I don’t know if there will be another one. We never make a film at Pixar to have a sequel. It is always nice when you do and we kind of have a philosophy that if we find the right story then we will. Surely the marketing and success of ''Brave'' says that you can have one and they will come."<ref>[http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/scotland/sequel-to-disney-pixar-s-brave-on-the-cards-1-2885742 Sequel to Disney-Pixar’s Brave on the cards]</ref><ref>[http://thedisneyblog.com/2013/04/11/director-of-pixars-brave-speaks-about-potential-sequel/ Director of Pixar’s Brave Speaks About Potential Sequel]</ref>

-==Story==
-''Brave'' is set in ancient times in the Scottish [[DunBroch Kingdom|kingdom of DunBroch]] and focuses on a princess named [[Merida]], the daughter of [[King Fergus]] and [[Queen Elinor]]. When Elinor tells Merida that she must marry a prince, Merida visits a [[Witch]] who gives her a spell that will change Elinor's mind. However, she ends up getting more than she bargained for.
-==Plot==
-[[File:Brave (2012) - Theatrical Trailer for Brave|thumb|300px|right|Theatrical Trailer #2]] The storyline begins in the Scottish [[DunBroch Kingdom|kingdom of DunBroch]], with [[King Fergus]] presenting his young daughter, [[Merida]], with a bow and arrow for her birthday, to the discomfort of Merida's mother, [[Queen Elinor]]. During their outing, a giant bear named [[Mor'du]] attacks the family. Fergus fights off the bear to give Elinor and Merida a chance to escape, at the cost of his left leg.
-Years later, Elinor, who has since given birth to identical [[The Triplets|triplet boys]], attempts to teach Merida in the ways of the court. The princess, however, is determined to practice her archery and explore the kingdom on her horse, [[Angus]], in what her mother calls an unladylike fashion.
-Soon, the lords [[Lord Macintosh|Macintosh]], [[Lord MacGuffin|MacGuffin]], and [[Lord Dingwall|Dingwall]] arrive to compete for the Highlands Games and present their first-born sons in a competition for Merida's hand. Merida chooses archery as the challenge to determine her betrothed. Lord Dingwall's [[Wee Dingwall|son]] wins by accident, but Merida enters herself as first-born of DunBroch and shoots the targets over Elinor's objections. The two have a falling out, resulting in Merida's tearing Elinor's handmade tapestry depicting the family, and Elinor in turn throwing Merida's bow into a fireplace.
-Fleeing to the forest in tears, Merida encounters a trail of [[Will O’ the Wisps|Will O' the Wisps]] that lead her to an elderly [[witch]]'s hut. Merida bargains with the witch for a spell that will change Elinor, thus changing Merida's fate. The witch conjures a cake for Merida, who returns to the castle and presents it to her mother. Elinor eats the cake and soon afterward, transforms into a bear. Merida and Elinor sneak out of the castle past Fergus and the visiting clans with the aid of the triplets and return to the witch's cottage, where they find the witch long gone because she is "out of stock", but a message left for Merida: the spell will be permanent unless undone by the second sunrise. The witch leaves Merida a riddle, mentioning that a pride-torn bond must be repaired. Growing frantic, Merida tosses in the other message potions, which overloads the cauldron. Elinor shields her daughter as the explosion destroys the cottage. As it starts to rain, mother and daughter decide to stay the night in what's left of the cottage.
-The next morning, Merida teaches Elinor how to catch fish from the river, and the two begin to reconcile. However, for a brief period Elinor starts to act like a wild bear, nearly mauling Merida. They are led by more wisps to the ruins of an old castle. In the throne room, Merida finds a damaged stone engraving, depicting three brothers; the fourth brother had been cut off from the other three, just like how Merida had cut her mother off from the tapestry. Merida realizes that the curse had happened before, and that the man was transformed into the raging bear Mor'du, and Elinor will lose all traces of her humanity just the same if they did not break the spell in time. Just then, she is attacked by the demon bear and barely escapes. They travel back to the castle to sew the family tapestry back together. They find Fergus and the lords on the verge of war because of Merida's actions. Merida brings the four factions back together and declares that one should choose who he marry according to his heart. Her suitors agree, stating that their arranged marriage was their fathers' idea. Thus, the clan leader agree that their sons must win Merida's heart before winning her hand. Fergus briefly returns to his bedroom to find Elinor and when he finds Elinor's ripped clothes and smashed bed, mistaking his wife for dead. He bursts into the tapestry room, where he finds Merida and Elinor the bear. Elinor, once again reverting to a true bear, attacks Fergus, and after regaining her human mind and realizing she has harmed both Merida and Fergus, Elinor flees.
-Merida tries to convince her father that the bear is Elinor, but Fergus, having once been declared by Elinor to "not believe in magic," locks her in the room and sets off with the lords to capture and kill the bear. Merida is freed with the help of her three brothers, who have turned into cubs after finding and eating what was left of the witch's cake, and the four follow the wisps to where Fergus has captured Elinor. Merida defends Elinor by confronting Fergus, but Mor'du attacks the party. When he lunges for Merida, Elinor intervenes and battles Mor'du. Elinor bashes Mor'du against a weakened stone pillar, which just in time collapses onto and kills him. The group sees a wisp emerge from Mor'du's body, which reveals the human form of the fourth brother, whose spirit is now freed from the curse. He then flies away to join the other wisps. Merida puts the repaired tapestry on top of her wounded mother. The sun starts to rise, and the spell on Elinor begins to become permanent, and Merida tries to get her mother back, but it doesn't work, and Merida weeps. In the process, she finally mends her bond with Queen Elinor, and Elinor and her sons are turned back into humans, albeit naked. A few days later, the clans depart for their respective lands and Merida and Elinor ride their horses together, sharing a closer relationship than before. The triplets stow away on one of the departing boats, forcing their father to chase after them in a rowboat.
-In a post-credits scene, one of the guards in front of the castle is awakened by the witch's pet [[The Crow|crow]] asking him to sign for an extremely large collection of wooden bear-themed sculptures, which Merida bought from the witch earlier in the film.

-==Production==
-Brave was first announced under the title of '''''The Bear and the Bow'''''.<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118018177.html?categoryid=1043&cs=1 Disney drawing 'Monsters Inc.' sequel]</ref> Other titles that had been considered include, among others ''The Bear King and his Daughter'', ''Brave and the Bow'' and ''Bravehair''.<ref>[http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/04/05/the-working-title-for-pixars-brave-that-might-just-give-away-a-tiny-bit-too-much/ The Working Title For Pixar’s Brave That Might Just Give Away A Tiny Bit Too Much]</ref><ref>[http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1308918/pixars_brave_30_minutes_of_footage_impressions_and_chatting_with_director_mark_andrews.html Pixar's Brave: 30 minutes of footage impressions, and chatting with director Mark Andrews]</ref><ref>[http://www.holymoly.com/film-dvd/interviews/qa-pixars-brave-director-mark-andrews-hes-not-brave-thats-oh-never-mind62547 A Q&A with Pixar's Brave director Mark Andrews]</ref>
-The film, Pixar's first fairy tale, is a combination of [[Brenda Chapman]]'s love of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, as well as a reflection on raising her daughter.<ref name="AicNews">[http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36333 Quint discusses the Pixar half of the Disney Animation Presentation! UP! WALL-E! TOY STORY 3! NEWT! THE BEAR & THE BOW!]</ref>
-The film departs from the traditional fairy tale storyline, neglecting the romance that has been associated with these stories. It focuses on the relationship between Merida and her mother Queen Elinor, which was inspired to Chapman by her own relation with her daughter.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/03/09/brave-to-focus-on-mother-daughter-relationship-will-overlook-romance/ ‘Brave’ To Focus On Mother-Daughter Relationship, Will Overlook Romance]</ref>
-Chapman was supposed to be the film's sole director - and Pixar’s first female director. But on October [[2010]], it was reported that Pixar had replaced Chapman with [[Mark Andrews]]. Although Andrews was in charge of guiding ''Brave'' across the finish line, both Andrews and Chapman are credited as the movie’s directors.<ref name="Entertainment Weekly" />
-Following his involvement as director, Mark Andrews did a heavy lifting to the story, to focus down on the core story. Among others, he cleared away many magic elements, which he found affected the environment.<ref>[http://www.slashfilm.com/film-interview-mark-andrews-director-pixars-brave/ /Film Interview: Mark Andrews, Director of Pixar’s ‘Brave’]</ref> However, he wanted to stay truthful to Chapman's story. He said:"The bones of the film were totally fine. That was not the issue. What was hanging off the bones, there were problems. There were things that were not working. The focuses and balances that were out of whack."<ref>[http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/director-mark-andrews-talks-taking-over-brave-end-result-john-carter/ Director Mark Andrews Talks Taking Over 'Brave' and the End Result of 'John Carter']</ref>
-The film was initially set for release on June 15, [[2012]], but was later changed to June 22, 2012.<ref name="TheWrap">[http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/disney-changes-release-date-brave-25575 Disney Changes Release Date for 'The Brave']</ref>
-Although the production of the film started in [[2008]], Brenda Chapman had already began work years earlier. As early as in [[2006]], several members of the crew made a research trip in Scotland.<ref>[http://entertainment.time.com/2012/02/24/behind-the-scenes-of-pixars-brave/#pixar_brave_01 Behind the Scenes of Pixar's Brave]</ref> They made a total of two trips to Scotland for the film.<ref>[http://www.pixartalk.com/2012/04/brave-fun-facts/ Brave Fun Facts!]</ref> Among others they visited the Eilean Donan and Dunnottar Castles, as well as the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis, which inspired the circle of standing stones that appears in the film.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/04/10/how-the-legends-and-beauty-of-scotland-inspired-brave/ How The Legends and Beauty Of Scotland Inspired ‘Brave’]</ref>
-For ''Brave'', Pixar rewrote its animation system for the first time in 25 years.<ref>[http://pixartimes.com/2012/03/29/pixar-rewrote-its-animation-system-for-first-time-in-25-years-for-brave/ Pixar Rewrote Its Animation System For First Time In 25 Years For ‘Brave’]</ref>
-To reproduce the lush and texture look of the landscapes of the Highlands, Pixar animators and designers created around 350 custom brushes in Photoshop, so that they could layer different designs, patterns and shapes in layers other to achieve a realistic and invisible look to all of the environments.<ref name="slashfilm">[http://www.slashfilm.com/11-learned-pixars-brave-d23-expo/ 11 Things We’ve Learned About Pixar’s ‘Brave’ (D23 Expo)]</ref>
-In discussing the creative process at Pixar in an interview for Bloomberg TV, John Lasseter said, "When we start a project, every Pixar film, there's something in the story that we need to do, that we don't know how to do, when we start the process. Every single one. And, with ''Brave'', there was a lot. It's our first period film set in history. This is extremely difficult to do with computer animation, because to make it believable to the audience, every thing you see in the film, the castle, the stones the castle is made of, the trees with the moss on it, all this has a sense of history to it, has an age, you can see it in there. It's been there a ''really'' long time. We don't get that for free. Live action film, you can go on location and film stuff. But everything you see in a Pixar film has to be designed, and modeled, shaded. What I often say to these brilliant people here at Pixar that invent something so new it's unbelievable, when they really get done with it, I say, ‘You know what? Because of what you did that's so brilliant, the audience will never notice it because it's so believeable.’"<ref name="Inside Pixar">Bloomberg TV interview, [http://www.bloomberg.com/video/inside-pixar-we-re-about-telling-stories-MS1Pj0M6TIyWFD1VNWEEYA.html "Inside Pixar"], February 6, 2013</ref>
-Animators were introduced to the weapons used in the film, in order to understand their working: some went into archery classes, while Mark Andrews taught swordfighting to animators.<ref name="TIME">[http://entertainment.time.com/2012/02/24/behind-the-scenes-of-pixars-brave/?photo=pixar_brave_02#pixar_brave_07 Behind the Scenes of Pixar's Brave]</ref>
-Originally, Reese Witherspoon was planned to voice [[Princess Merida]], but she was unable to work on the film due to scheduling issues and was replaced by [[Kelly Macdonald]] as a result.<ref name="Entertainment Weekly" />
-Celtic and Pictish design and patterns have been integrated everywhere throughout the film, on Merida's bow, on clothing, walls, as well as to natural elements like snowflakes, moss or tree branches.<ref name="PTd23" />
-The original idea had 80% of the scenes taking place in the snow. In the final movie however, very few snow scenes remain.<ref name="PTd23">[http://pixartimes.com/2011/08/22/d23-expo-the-art-of-brave/ D23 2011: The Art of Brave Panel]</ref>
-The end credits of the movie include a special tribute to [[Steve Jobs]].<ref>[http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/05/25/pixars-brave-pays-ghostly-tribute-to-steve-jobs/?mod=WSJBlog&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Pays Ghostly Tribute to Steve Jobs]</ref>
-===Rating===
-''Brave'' is rated PG by the MPAA (for some scary action and rude humor).<ref>[http://www.filmratings.com/filmRatings_Cara/downloads/pdf/resources/bulletin/cara_rating_bulletin.pdf MPAA BULLETIN NO: 2222]</ref>
-==Reception==
-''Brave'' currently has a score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 183 reviews, making it the third Pixar movie to receive a rating below a 90%. The first 2 were ''[[Cars]]'' (74%) and ''[[Cars 2]]'' (38%).
-Critic Roger Ebert was quoted saying that, "The good news is that the kids will probably love it, and the bad news is that parents will be disappointed if they're hoping for another Pixar groundbreaker."
-==Attached Short Film==
-Attached to ''Brave'' is the Academy Award nominated short ''[[La Luna]]'', directed by [[Enrico Casarosa]], which premiered in June 2011 at the Annecy International Film Festival.
-==Possible sequel==
-In June 2012, [[Kevin McKidd]] stated that he hoped that a sequel to ''Brave'' would have a marriage of [[Young MacGuffin]] and [[Merida]].<ref>[http://scottishactors.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/brave-move-to-film-sequel.html Brave move to film sequel]</ref><ref>[http://www.kevinmckiddonline.com/1/post/2012/06/brave-2-sequel.html Brave 2 Sequel]</ref><ref>[http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/brave-move-to-film-sequel-1-2375798]</ref>
-In April 2013, [[Mark Andrews]] was asked by ''The Scotsman'' if there will be a sequel. He said: "I don’t know if there will be another one. We never make a film at Pixar to have a sequel. It is always nice when you do and we kind of have a philosophy that if we find the right story then we will. Surely the marketing and success of ''Brave'' says that you can have one and they will come."<ref>[http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/scotland/sequel-to-disney-pixar-s-brave-on-the-cards-1-2885742 Sequel to Disney-Pixar’s Brave on the cards]</ref><ref>[http://thedisneyblog.com/2013/04/11/director-of-pixars-brave-speaks-about-potential-sequel/ Director of Pixar’s Brave Speaks About Potential Sequel]</ref>
