Summary!
Audacity. That pretty much sums up Princess Merida's character into one word. Ever since she has born, her mother, Queen Elinor, has been training Merida to become queen. Sick of doing what everyone tells her to, Merida is determined to create her own future and become what she wants to be. Merida is a talented archer and has had an interest in archery since childhood when her father, King Fergus, gifted her a mini bow and arrow. Merida can't tolerate it anymore when it is time for the Highland Games, an old custom in which the first born sons of all the other three clans compete for her hand. She picks archery as the challenge and courageously does something out of the ordinary. Merida shoots for her freedom, representing the first-born of DunBroch. This was something never heard of in all 4 clans and everyone disapproves. As commotion and chaos broke loose, King Fergus entertains the other 3 clans while Queen Elinor has a stern talk with Merida. In a fit of rage, Merida makes an incision in a family quilt with a knife, separating her mother from the rest of the family. Queen Elinor burns Merida's bow. Both haven't realized the consequences of their actions. Merida retreats to the forest, the only place she can be herself, when she runs into a will-o'-the-wisp, or a magical light that is said to lead you to your destiny. The trail of will-o'-the-wasps lead her to the cottage of a witch where she gets a magical cake to change her mother's personality and decisions. When Merida gives the cake to her mother, it transforms her into a bear. This is only the start of an long, exciting adventure in which relationships are tested.
My Review!
Overall I liked Brave. It was really sweet and the animation was amazing! =) I fell in love with Merida's character; she is really brave and is willing to do anything for her freedom which is really sweet. This movie captured the essence of a mother/daughter bond really well and taught me to listen to my parents, even when you don't agree with them because they only want the best for you. I rate Brave 4/5 because I am not really a fan of Disney movies anymore, but for kids between the ages of 7-10 this movie would be perfect! :D
