Trailer for Brave

An impetuous princess discovers that her reckless choice has put both her family and her father's kingdom in peril in this animated adventure from Pixar films. As a toddler, Merida (voice of Kelly MacDonald) saw her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), do battle with one of the fiercest animals in the kingdom -- a horribly scarred hulk of a bear named Mordu. Though Fergus lost his leg defending his family, Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor ... An impetuous princess discovers that her reckless choice has put both her family and her father's kingdom in peril in this animated adventure from Pixar films. As a toddler, Merida (voice of Kelly MacDonald) saw her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), do battle with one of the fiercest animals in the kingdom -- a horribly scarred hulk of a bear named Mordu. Though Fergus lost his leg defending his family, Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), managed to escape the beast before it vanished back into the forest. Years later, Merida has grown up to become not just a skilled archer, but also a beautiful princess who inspires a competition among the eligible bachelors in the land. But Merida has little interest in getting married, and the harder her mother pushes the issue, the more fiercely she resists it. When the tournament for her hand gets under way and a deep divide opens between mother and daughter, Merida makes a wish that threatens the future of both her family and the entire kingdom. Now, with only a brief window of time to set things right, Merida must summon the courage to atone for her mistake and prevent a past tragedy from destroying any hope for a peaceful future.

  1. Positive review
    Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine No less lovely than former films, in many ways lovelier, but Brave is boutique Pixar: less ambitious, more succinct, excellence at a lower ebb. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] Unsatisfying for all ages. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Trevor Johnston, Time Out No, not another Pixar classic, but for full-on family fun it's a brave effort. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Bruce Diones, New Yorker The story, with its patchwork of plots (involving feuding clans and disastrous spells), holds together enough to thrill intermittently. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph Brave is as true as an arrow whistling straight towards the centre of its target. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Hannah McGill, The List Story isn't Brave's strong suit - it relies too heavily on a rather random-feeling deus ex machina - but its gloss, confidence and sense of fun go a long way to compensate. Full review External link
