Merinda must figure out how to changer her mother back and resolve their relationship before Elinor is a bear permanently and the kingdom goes to war. While Merinda believes this cake will change her mother’s mind it actually changes her mother into a bear(which their entire kingdom hates as the bear at the beginning of the movie took King Fergus’s leg). Merinda returns to the kingdom and gives her mother the cake in the disguise of an apology.
Merinda asks the witch if she can make a spell that will change her fate, and the witch crafts a spell in the form of a cake. Merinda flees into the woods and ends up following a path of wisps to the cabin of a witch. When the tournament is over Merinda and her mother get into a huge fight and Merinda runs away while Elinor becomes very sad when she realized that she pushed her daughter away. Merinda’s mother is very insistent about the marriage for sake of tradition and pushes Merinda to accept the hand of the man who is the victor of a tournament. When it is announced that Merinda is going to be married off to one of three suitors from other kingdoms to keep the peace Merinda is furious because she really doesn’t want to marry anyone. The movie then jumps ahead several years in which we see that a 17 year old Merinda is being trained to be a queen by her mother even though Merinda is clearly more interested in playing in the outdoors and shooting with her bow. In the end of the scene a bear attacks their camp and Elinor and Merinda flee as Fergus fights him off. In this scene we get to see a little bit of the family dynamic as Merinda loves shooting her bow. While the premise of setting a fairy tale in the Scottish kingdoms is certainly an intriguing one is it different enough the separate this film from Disney’s other princess tales(particularly a stylistically similar Tangled)? Did Pixar make a comeback or have they fallen into slump after their excellent 15 year run?īrave begins with a prologue that introduces us to a very young princess Merinda( Kelly Macdonald), her mother Queen Elinor( Emma Thompson), and her father King Fergus( Billy Connolly). The movie features Pixar’s first lead lady both on the screen and behind with the scenes with the character of Merinda and co-director Brenda Chapman. This year Pixar is making another less risky film that delves into the world of fairy tales that they have generally stayed away from. Last year Pixar proved that it was not invincible with the release of Cars 2. “Are you willing to pay the price your freedom will cost? “
