What's your favorite accent???
I love a good new york accent, I have no idea why but I just quite like them.
But nothing can truly beat a Highland Scottish accent for me though, it just feels so warm and full of life
Scottish is DEFINITELY one of them
scottish is easily top tier but there’s something about a southern american drawl that gets me too 😅
Italian 😁 They sound so happy,dramatic and over the top, lovely and warm people.
British, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Indian, and western!
Honestly Merida and her mother has a much deeper and well developed relationship than Anna and Elsa I don't know why most people keep referring to "Frozen" as "the one movie" that is not about romantic love when "Brave" came out first and is way better
Yeah!! I totally agree. And Anna and Elsa are not well done at all in my opinion
I don't think is "better" 'cause Frozen deals with an implicit issue involving sexuality that has been ignored for a long time in Disney, I know, for a lot of people it seems a little unrealistic that Frozen does that, but the way Elsa had to hide her powers for most of her life made a lot of the community LGBT people identify, in addition to that Let Go handled this issue very well because the lyrics themselves say "concel, don't feel, don't let them know, now that they know, Let it Go" is just one of the reasons why Frozen is so much more loved that Brave, a princess who hides one thing for her whole life thinking that no one will ever accept her for who she is so she runs away when everyone realizes and the movie focuses on the younger sister's journey to go after her and tell her that she doesn't care about the secret because she loves her and knows that if she trusts herself she can do whatever she wants, that seams a very deeper than the story of a princess trying to turn her mom back into human and unify the peoples while trying to fight for her own freedom
Without wanting to belittle of course, I love Brave and I think it's a very underrated movie because it made me cry many times, but FOR ME Frozen will always be Frozen
Very true!!!
@@MarceloSilva-kp7mc Lol Frozen has nothing to do with "lgbt". Elsa isn't gay and never was. Disney has confirmed that they're never going to give her a love interest because they want her to stand on her own, if anything, she is ace. EDIT: Also "let it go" was never about coming out, it was about escaping her oppressive life as Queen and getting to finally be free and be herself and not have to hide her ice powers, etc. Nothing to do with sexuality at all.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 well I think it doesn't matter if Frozen is about LGBT or not, what matters is that many LGBT saw themselves in Elsa, I saw myself in her because I found out I'm gay since I was thirteen, which was more or less the same At the time Frozen came out, the movie helped me in many ways to accept myself for who I am and I'm sure I wasn't the only one, besides it's not because Disney said Elsa won't have a romantic partner that she isn't gay, and again, the fact that Let It Go has nothing to do with coming out does not prevent many LGBTs from seeing themselves in the music because, as I said, what matters is that many people saw themselves in the film, there wouldn't be dozens of theories in the Internet about Elsa being gay if the possibility did not exist, moreover at no time did Disney deny the fact that the film is or not about this subject, they left it extremely implicit but never denied this possibility
Young MacGuffin is speaking in a Scottish dialect called Doric iirc. His voice actor was asked to just mumble and make up stuff but he suggested the use of Doric since it's a pretty old dialect and most people have difficulty understanding it. He mentions it on an interview which I thought was cool since it gave it more authenticity instead of just mumbling vaguely Scottish-sounding sentences lol
Yep, it's Doric. It's very difficult to understand until you read along. Realizing he's speaking English and it suddenly becomes understandable is an incredible experience.
Yup and don't let anyone from North East Scotland hear you say it's basically speaking English it would not end well. There's a longish history of why that would not go to well.
I love the parallel of arranged marriage in this movie.
Fergus and Elanor (parents) were an arranged marriage and she was not happy about it, at all. But they worked out and she loves her husband dearly and he loves his wife enough to AVENGE her as his immediate reaction after thinking she was dead. That's why Elanor was 'shocked' when Merida was strongly against it, forgetting how she felt and instead turned to lecturing her on what she believed to be best.
Merida isn't against marriage. She just wants time to find herself and love being herself, she ISNT READY FOR SUCH A BIG STEP. That's why finding her own love in her own time was so important to her. Maybe one day, but not NOW.
It’s just amazing and beautiful and great in every way possible
Arranged Marriage is when the parents give example of match but its in the end the choice of the daughter or son. Forced is when the daughter or son have no choice to say no. Importance difference.
A thing I want to mention as someone who does archery as a hobby is that they not only did get the archers paradox right, but also the shooting technique is really good. In another comment section I read that they even went to an archery club talking with the people there and getting camera shots of different angles etc. So props for the animators and filmmakers to put the effort in and to convert it into this animation.
( hope this is understandable English isn’t my native language)
Yeah, I used to do archery as a hobby, and they seriously nailed everything
The film crew was so motivated. Adding to what you wrote, they travelled to Scotland and took pictures of everything to get the scenery right.
And not every person is capable of pulling the legendary shot like Merida did. The Robin Hood shot is famous for shooting your arrow through the opponent’s arrow.
Merida fighting her father, who's considered one of the strongest, to protect her mother, is my absolute favorite scene of this movie.
She’s the GOAT
Brave has so many layers, especially the complicated mother-daughter relationship! I don't know why it's not the most popular Disney movie but this story is so inspiring. I really loved the naughty triplets 😂
Like a onion. Or ogre.
Pixar movie*
@@dr.shrimpspuertorico4531 *Ogre
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Thanks.
the bear plot turned people off because it’s a cliche that ruins the initial mother-daughter dynamic
Merida's dad is easily among Top 5 Disney Kings, maybe even Top 3
He's so much like her and literally supports her in basically anything
He's number 1 in my book because of how much he loves his family and the lengths he is willing to go to for them -- even if it means risking his own life. He is beyond heartbroken, distraught, and absolutely devastated when he thinks Elinor has been killed, and so over the moon, beside himself relieved and joyous when he sees her return to human form, showing she's still alive. He actually trips from throwing himself to get to her in his overwhelming relief. And he was afraid of Merida getting hurt as well, and just wanted to protect her from what he deeply believed to be a threat. Not to mention he also acts as an attempted mediator between his wife and daughter and tries to resolve their conflict. Even though it may not have been a successful attempt, granted. He's selfless, a strong leader (albeit not the best public speaker but that is one regard he and Elinor make such a great match in role and personality), loves his family, the list goes on.
how long is the list. I can only think of 2 living disney kings
@@Silver5kull there are actually quite a lot of living Disney Kings: King Stephan (Aurora), King Triton (Ariel), The Sultan (Jasmine), King Frederic (Rapunzel), Chief Tui (Moana), etc...
I didn't specifically mean alive ones, though, but any Disney King
the part where elenors eyes go black and there's a sense of hopelessness makes me tear up everytime 😭
I know…
This made me sob so badly after my mom's dementia really starting setting in, the parallels were so strong.
@@fennecfreud that mustve been hard i wish you well
@@fennecfreud I hope you are doing good...
The mark of amazing animation is at hand here.
Before they decided not to have any romance, Young MacGuffin was originally the one she was going to fall in love with. He's my favorite of the 3. Sure, he was shy and bad at archery, but he looks very kind, and if you look for him in the background, he's always staring at Merida like he's in awe. They would make a good pair.
Lol of all of them, yeah that’s tru
Awe that would’ve been so cute. I’m just going to imagine that when they grew a little older they fell in love ❤️
Maybe bc Merida’s a formidable woman to fight alongside with instead of her being a damsel and let the men fight. That’s what Young MacGuffin sees in Merida.
@@tararocksong5085 Yes, and I can picture their relationship working very well since he's an introvert and she's such a strong leader. He would have no problem being supportive of her goals.
@@KB-tg7pf, plus she was a little interested in the Young MacGuffin when he was first introduced.
I like the point you made about some of the pressure Merida was feeling came out of the moms worry for the kingdom.
I never considered how Elenor would have known the other lords' demeanours and understood how easily these men might break their alliances at the slightest of offenses. She knew the political mindfield her daughter was going to have to navigate when Merida becomes queen and the likelyhood that Merida would need to be the diplomatic one in her future relationship.
Fun fact: When you see the witch carving wood at her table, look what’s also sitting there; the Pizza Planet truck!
It’s believed to be that the Witch is Boo, from Monsters Inc. which is why she’s able to “teleport” like the doors, there’s also a Viking-Nore style drawing of Sully along with the pizza planet truck you mentioned!
I totally agree with James about story telling and it’s why I read books. I love story telling and the way people can make you feel a certain way because of the words they use, that’s why retellings are so popular with readers. I love looking at the stories of old and finding truths in them. It also shows that humans haven’t really changed much if you think about it.
Yes!!! Which is why I hate when people reject old things and traditions because they are old. Humans don’t have a linear progression, and it’s silly to think that
I agree with you. The more you read, the more you know that human nature doesn't really change, just their circumstances.
Technology changes, but what’s great about humans is that the emotional struggles, are all the same
Speaking of details in the animation, theres one thing I just noticed that never fully clicked for me. When Elinor finally returns to her human form and Fergus runs to embrace her and he stumbles over himself, it's not just because he is so overjoyed to see his wife who moments ago he thought was dead; it's mainly because Merida fricken chopped off part of his peg leg making it shorter and causing him to trip and fall.
As a Scots native, I absolutely love this movie! Doric dialect, the singing, clans etc is just brilliant
Pgnlynoynp
Zunoynoynoumo nouno❤🎉
Pixar made an actual render engine to render Merida's hair. It was so *SO* complicated to render on regular engines.
In pretty much all celtic mythology and tradition the fairy folk or "Fae" are mischievous as hell and love messing with people for shits and giggles. As a welsh person my knee jerk reaction to the wisps would have been "avoid, avoid avoid!!"
But brave is a beautifully animated film, the textures of everything from landscapes to the animals and ofc meridas amazing hair is just so lush and vibrant 😍 I can overlook the somewhat simplistic story.
The soundtrack also slaps!
fr wisps or "spunkies" as they are also known in Scottish folklore are very mischievous, or rather a forewarning sign of danger, as they literally would lead weary travellers to their doom!
Oh I definitely had moments like that with my mom when I was younger, where we were both just talking at each other and not to each other, not really listening. So this film felt true to the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship to me. And I actually watched it with my mom when it came out! We were both so moved by it ❤️ Glad you guys enjoyed it, it’s a wonderful film!
Yeah, I can only imagine! I’m so glad u liked it too
Love this movie. Merida is almost identical to my oldest daughter with her hair and attitude. The story also reflects how we related to each other when she was in her teen years. We were either best buds or ready to kill each other(rhetorically speaking that is)
For another Celtic-inspired by an Irish animation company I recommend Wolfwalkers. Beautifully hand-drawn and awarded
It is underrated,loved that movie and the hand draw is so unique and beautiful ❤️
Omg yesss please 🙏
They should watch The Secret of Kells by the same studio, Cartoon Saloon, and then do Wolfwalkers
And Song of the Sea, my favourite of their films personally!
Insanely beautiful animated films with amazing music and Celtic mythology: Song of the sea and Secret of Kells!
*Celtic
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Right ofc, I wrote it in my country's spelling for some reason
Yes!!!! These are gems!
Oh, I absolutely LOVE this soundtrack. That ending song is just amazing.
Fun fact: Merida is the first Pixar character become a Disney princess. The 11th in line. There are technically 14 official Disney princesses.
I always sided with Merida more but I never thought the mom was evil. The older I got the more I understood that the mom still loved her and realized some of Merida’s faults. Still team Merida though 🤣
Young MacGuffin lines are all in a dialect of Scots language known as Doric. Doric is traditionally spoken on the North Eastern Coast of Scotland, between Inverness and Stonehaven. Kevin McKidd, a Scots speaker, requested the use of Doric, these lines were originally intended to be in gibberish:
"Gif he war a wee bit closer A coud lob a caber at him, ye ken" (trans: "If he were a little bit closer I could throw a tree trunk at him, you know.")
"It's jist nae fair makin us ficht for the hand o the quine that disnae want any bit o it. Ken?" (trans: It's just not fair making us fight for the hand of the girl that doesn't want any part of it. You know?")
"Since yer sayin' it an' ah wisn't there t' see it maself, I'll gae ahead and take yer word fer it though." (trans: "Since you are saying it and I wasn't there to see it for myself, I'll go ahead and take your word for it.")
Merida talks with the same accent in Ralph Breaks the Internet. So does that mean she finally chose him?
The dark haired suitor looked like a Scottish Kylo Ren and raged like him when his arrow missed its mark lol.
Lmao! Too true
This is a very special film to me . It was the first film I saw in the cinema, I saw it with my mum and my mum grew up in Scotland. I will always have a love for this masterpiece.
I know this is definitely not one of disneys best animated films but personally I still really like it.
This may of course be because of bias as I am Scottish but I had a lot of fun watching this film
Is it accurate as a Scottish movie?
I hate that that’s the focus u know? Is it accurate? It’s a fairy tale in a Scotland based place. It’s a way to educate and interest. Idk if that should be the main focus. Sorry, this seems a bit attacky and I don’t mean it that way, but do u get what I’m saying?
@@whitenoisereacts Chill, lol. The movie is great regardless. I was just asking out of curiosity because I know absolutely nothing about Scotland. The original comment said that they are a Scottish person who likes that it is a Scottish movie, so my question did not come out of nowhere. That's not the focus and not a critique, it's an innocent question. If they ever make a movie inspired by my country I'm sure my foreign friends will ask what I recognize in it. Also, one way that stories educate is to inspire people to ask questions about different people, places and histories that the stories pull from. What real life inspiration is the story drawing from seems like a valid question for any story.
@@whitenoisereacts ur right. People expect realism from a fairytail movie SUPPOSEDLY intended to be for kids. Like chill and enjoy the messages it wants to show.
@@arcanevi4477 I enjoy the movie and I do get the message. It's beautiful, heartwarming and very true to life. When someone else brought up the country it was inspired by, I asked a question out of curiosity. Asking a question isn't a critique or an expectation of realism. It's a question. Is curiosity banned now?
This movie helped me so much when younger and still does to this day. The mother and daughter relationship was so spot-on. The feeling of lack of understanding from both sides, feeling like neither of them was listening to one another. It also makes me so happy that neither of them was wrong or right; they were just humans with their virtues and flaws and with a relationship that grows with time and with the ability of understanding. I really love this movie :') and it makes me so happy that you guys enjoyed it too. Best wishes to you both.
the first time i saw the scene where merida competes for her own hand i got goosebumps. the feelings behind it, the music, sound design and animation when the arrow flies, splits the arrow and land in the back was amazing!!
This movie is one of my faves because for me, I don’t look like my mom at all. People are just now saying that my face is turning into hers, but growing up, I only resembled my dad. And we don’t have the same mindset. She has a more logical and calculating mind, while mine is more creative and artistic. We’ve had our time where it didn’t seem like we were ever talking to listen to each other, only resulting to yell at each other. But our relationship has definitely gotten better at listening to each other’s woes and coming to an understanding. I just wish that all happened when I WAS a teen.
This movie is something special. Me and my mum had a turbulent relationship growing up, this movie was definitely a conversation starter. I still don't get how it can be this underrated! Such a masterpiece of a movie, not to mention the animation.
Brave, Moana, Encanto, all beautiful stories about love, family and healing.
Love the classics but the newer movies are stealing my heart ❤
The bigger, working horses are a category called draft horses, which includes Clydesdale, Belgian, and Percheron breeds (among many others). I'd guess this one was modeled after a Shire.
And the big dogs are Scottish Deerhounds ❤️
3:01 In the "Brave" title card, look for Merida in the left-most part of the B, and Elinor in the left-most part of the E. They're both hidden in the title!
Bravery was amazing. Mordu' has such a scary design and the message has a special place in my heart.
one problem is there are not enough potatoes
I like this movie, but I feel like it had a bit of squandered potential. There was such a good build up with the relationship between Merida and her mother, the conflict with the other clans, the struggle between the softer/more conventionally "feminine" power of the mother and the harder/more conventionally "masculine" power of Merida, tradition vs freedom of choice, all of that looked SO GOOD... and then it became Brother Bear (or should I say Mother Bear?) and they kinda dropped most of that for like 80% of the movie. I remember being so confused the first time I saw it in cinemas lol (btw there's a really good analysis video by eliquorice on all of this I recommend if anyone's interested)
It's because they got rid of the woman who directed the beginning of the movie who was basing it off of her own experience with her mother and then replaced her with men. You know, literally getting rid of the person who would understand the relationship and its dynamics the best and replacing them with those who would have no idea. She's also spoke out about how horrible they've been to Merida and how it's irresponsible to the younger generation of girls. I would definitely look into it, she's great.
Yeah, its such a wasted potential movie for me, I'm surprised how many people are claiming it as their favourite honestly. I just see all these amazing building blocks and then. .nothing.
THIS ^^^^^!!!! It started out fantastically and then went straight Saturday morning cartoon with the brother bear thing and it just seemed out of place with everything they started. I just wish there was a different kind of spell that sets these two on this journey.
I love this movie so much! And Scotland is so magical. The places I have seen were absolutely stunning.
this movie definitely deserves more recognition. The story is amazing and the aesthetic is soooo cool and beautiful. I absolutely love the bond of the family and how the relationships are portrayed. Merida and her mother are just so special together and they managed to show us that link developing and it is so good.
Agreed!!!
I tear up at the end, every. single. time. Merida is my favourite Disney princess, by far. And this movie is just so gorgeous!
This movie has such a big place in my heart. My mom and I would watch this together and we had a strained relationship, but this movie brought us so close together, it really strengthened our bond.
This movie always reminds me that no matter how my mom and I might conflict with one another, we each have different perspectives, but we do love each other very much. (A good lesson to remember when we're butting heads, lol.)
Yeah it’s beautiful
I still enjoyed the video even with the lower quality audio! Thank you for making great content!
Well thanks so much!
This is definitely one of my favorite stories told by Disney/Pixar. The animation is incredible, and I loved how you guys pointed out a lot of the details of it in your reaction! The locations were gorgeous, the story layered and complex, the music is beautiful, and again, the animation!!! 😍 Just wow.
It’s been 10 years since, I first saw brave as a 15 year old with my family.
Merida's parents are the definition of " two ppl completes EO " i love this movie one of my fav bc of the story, it's different & the background they choose it to happen aesthetically is sooo pleasing. the only thing then & now i felt missing is more scenes of her trouble making cute brothers. i loved their mischiefs so much i wish there were more !!! or a second part may be.
I am SO happy you guys enjoyed this one, since a lot of people rank it as being one of the lesser Pixar movies (it came out around the same time as Cars 2 to give you an idea of what Pixar was putting out at that time) so I'm glad someone else enjoys it. And to answer the accent question; Scottish/Irish!
This movie changed my life. I guess you could say it changed my fate. Merida looks like me, her mom looks like my mom. I even have triplet brothers. My mom and I had a relationship very similar to the one portrayed in this movie, and it helped me to take a step back and see things from my mom‘s point of view. It took until I moved out for the first time for things to really settle down, but our think our relationship has been significantly better, specifically since I saw this film. It’s beautiful.
That's crazy!!!!
Merida's horse is a Shire, the biggest horse in the world. They are in the draft breed, which has the easily recognizable huge-ness and feathering around the feet like the Clydesdale. Shire's are about 6 feet tall (At the *shoulder*). Known for being gentle giants. They're epicccc. As a redhead who loves Horses and used to do Archery, Merida is my favorite of the Princesses. :D Awesome reaction!!!
They are so awesome!!!! U are literally Merida
@@whitenoisereacts 😄
Btw, Angus's(the horse) breed is a Shire. A large draft horse originating from England and Scotland.
The slow mo on the arrow is incredible because it’s accurate arrows do actually wobble like that. And the score is freaking amazing. This film is incredibly underrated
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but two points about Brave I like to make.
First: Will-O-Wisps, traditionally are malevolent. They lead people off paths and trails into bogs or swamps to get lost or drown. The whole thing about them leading you to your destiny is accurate...if your destiny is to drown. But they make a good plot hook.
Second: The, "Mend the bond" part. I think that there are multiple layers to that. There is the basic, physical, aspect, which is the tapestry. Then there is the bond with her Mother. Third, is the bond between the four clans, which she broke, as well. And finally, there was Mor'Du. By killing him and freeing his spirit, she finished his story, and righted a long gone wrong.
2:10 My hair was that red as a child lol. Super vibrant and orange. I'm almost 19 now and it's darkened a bit into a deeper red with copper highlights.
Something people don't tell you is red hair can change a lot over one's life time. Red hair is a family trait on my dad's side. My dad has it, I have it, my aunt has it, my cousin has a red beard, and my grandma had it.
My dad's hair faded to brown and you can't see the red anymore except in his beard. My aunt's hair faded from super vibrant into light blonde. My grandma's also faded to brown but she'd dye hers at that point.
Idk why I said all of this lmfao nobody cares
Edit: I also have blue eyes. I think I read somewhere that was rare but idk
I care. That’s cool! Good luck getting all the boys lmao
I know this was written a year ago but I thought I would comment. My wife had that copper hair when I married her and over the years it has faded as our hair whitens, but every once in a while the sun comes through window early in the morning and turns her young. It is an amazing sight.
When I first watched this movie, I thought that the blue Will O Whisps were actually kinda cute and friendly, but I learned that in folklore, mostly Irish, Scottish, and British, that they are actually evil and supposedly spirits of the dead which would explain the ending when the demon bear dies and the whisp turns into Mor'du. I never knew that they were actually folkloric creatures. I always thought it was something Disney (Pixar) made up for the movie.
I also find the names of the characters interesting: Elinor's name means Sunray or shining light. Whereas, Merida's name means Pearl. The most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild but are extremely rare. I like the idea that Merida is a valuable pearl/person and she occurs in the Wild (the Highlands) because she is nurtured by the Sun/her Mum/Queen Elinor.
I remember watching this in the cinema, it was AWESOME!
The fight scene between the mom and Mordu was amazing...! Like, the fur and skin moving!!!
Finally someone who appreciates Brave the way the movie deserves :') Merida is a badass and the story is so compelling
Quite late, but wanted to make mention of the Standing Stones/Stone Circle. There are 16 Stone Circles in Scotland and some are over 5000 years old. They are said to be magical, hence the Shire not entering the center. The magic can be intense (read the book series of _Outlander_ ) and why the ending occurred within the Circle. Great reaction, as always!
Wow, I like this type of legends
OMG!! Yes yes yes!! This is my favorite Pixar movie!!!!
The story, music and animation is completely amazing! 🤩😍
Also, this is one of the movies that takes a lot of weight in the "Pixar Theory"...
Saw this movie on The Disney Channel a few years ago and it is pretty amazing. Loved it!
I freaking loved it...i know every single dialogue!😀
I love scotist and Irish accent huu 😻
As animators, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is a must watch movie.
The use of light in the toons to blend in the real world is more than impressive.
And all hand made
I love how each Pixar project you can see them also as an exploration of pushing certain features. Here for me, it was definitely the hair and the dilapidated structures, stuff they've stepped up even more like water in Luca where it's almost photorealistic
I love how Billy Connelly voiced King Fergus. I was recently listening to a song he wrote/performed called D.I.V.O.R.C.E. and I couldn't stop laughing.
Glad to see you finally watch the "true" sequel to Brother Bear, Mother Bear. All joking aside, I love Brave. One of my top favourite Disney movies, though just about everyone around in the neighborhood I live in hate it. I'm glad to see other people love it as well.
1:33 Fun fact: in Russian box office Brave known as "Храбрая Сердцем" ("Brave at heart"), which is play on "Храброе Сердце" ("Brave Heart") which is Russian name for Braveheart. So I guess you kinda closer than you think.
This is my favorite Pixar film! I love princess stories where they figure things out themselves, with no typical 'prince charming' always saving the day.
You should check.out Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces (or something like that). Campbell studied cultures all over the world and spoke directly about the human truths through story concept you touched on. It is literally human to tell stories - it's in our very DNA to the point that when we're in crisis, we get a physiological payoff of hormones and reduced stress when we can find a story that makes sense.of the situation we find ourselves in (see Brene Brown's NF special for details). You touched into something very real.in that comment. And btw, Joseph Campbell was a big influence for George Lucas when he created Star Wars.
I remember being fourteen years old and so, so incredibly hyped when this movie first came out. Tomboy princess who shares my Scottish heritage and whose name kind of sounds like mine, and with no sign of a male love interest? Sign me the hell up! But then I actually watched it. I couldn't put my finger on it at the time, but I couldn't help but feel like my expectations had been let down. Something was off, and I had no clue what it was. The thing with the bear plot is so convoluted, the intended message of the story is lost. Turns out, this movie changed directors midway through production: the original plot was going to stick to the mother-daughter relationship (which the original director had based off of the ups and downs she'd had with her own daughter); but then, Pixar handed the project to some fratboy who couldn't even be bothered to come up with a reason for why the witch keeps turning people into bears. Basically the story is fractured into two different narratives that are fine on their own but don't work when together.
Now I understand why whenever I think of this movie I seem to always forget there is a bear plot...
It makes so little sense that my brain refuses to remember that part of the movie💀the fact that even subconciously I can tell the storyline was off makes me laugh
I was excited too. The first real redhead Disney Princess since Ariel and me being a redhead with Scottish heritage hyped me up. I mean we have the same wild hair 💀
I still loved it a lot when I watched it but looking back now as an adult, i agree there's something missing.
I totally get you. I really like this film, but I can’t help but remember how disappointed I was when the brother bear plot point was introduced. They did a good job with it anyway, but that part kind of turned into a children’s film for me, when I was expecting the spell to be…..just different. Despite that, everything else was just phenomenal and I absolutely love Merida as a disney princess. She’s so awesome.
Interesting story one time I went to Disneyland and actually met Merida she was really fun to talk to
This movie meant so much to me! As a girl, this really captures the dynamic between my mom and I and how we both mean well but don’t always listen. Ending when she’s crying before her mum changes back gets me every time!
My personal head cannon is that’s the four brothers from the story of Mor’ du are the ancestors of the four clans in the movie. I believe that Merida, and clan Dunbroch are descendants of Mor’ du.
This movie is horrendously underrated
For sure dude!!!
Fun fact: red hair and blue eyes are the rarest genetic combination! I just thought it was cool
i was 8 when this came out, and im scottish - halloween that year was great, everyone was merida
In Irish and Scottish mythology there are actually two types of Willow the wisps the blue ones lead you to your destiny and a positive force in the universe but green ones lead people to their death
I love this movie, and I am glad to finally see someone reacting to this Pixar gem. I had the privilege of seeing this when it first came out on the cinema, with my girlfriend at the time. We both loved it as I recall, the story, the humour, the music, and the acting were all spot on. So many layers to one movie and all very well pulled off. Sir Billy Connolly is magnificent as King Fergus, a stand out supporting character. His exclamations and interjections always get me laughing, particularly during the brawl scenes when he goes into battle single handed. The Scottish clansmen crack me up and the ending always gets a tear in my eye as Merida finally appreciates all her mother's love. Funny and poignant as al the best movies are.
Also... James, did you notice that the description is for the Mummy Returns??? 😅😅😅 #JustSaying
BRAVE is one of my top favorites. I love the story between a mother and daughter. Not your typical princess story who fell in love with a prince...etc etc. Sad it's not as popular as it should have been. I get that BRAVE is not much for kids. It doesn't have your typical musical feel with all the singings that kids would get attached to.
Yeah!! I think people were let down by marketing as well!! But I loved it! One of my favorites. I’m glad we agree 😂😂
my fav disney movie is Tangled because music and the way they do her hair, but this is a close second!
I haven't watched this movie in years and the start of this movie is pretty much where me and my mum are now. It definately effects my perspective on things.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is one of few, if not only Disney film where both parents are still alive. As a Scot, it's definitely a favourite and the locations are just like the Scotlands highlands, the music is really beautiful and the story is interesting. A lot of famous Scottish voices too. The stone circle is called Standing Stones, there are many in Scotland but also around the world. In the show Outlander, the standing stones are a time portal.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it already but the reason why just fixing the tapestry didn't work was because that's not what the witch meant by "mend the bond torn by pride" the bond that was torn was when they had that fight after the archery scene and it was "mended" when Merida was apologizing and saying that she loved her mom (during the sunrise) the reason why it worked even though it was sunrise already was because the sunlight hasn't hit the mom yet so she still got through with the deadline
Yes!!!! This is the Brave reaction I needed! Watched Reel Rejects reaction the other day and it infuriated me
Yes, Merida is the eleventh of the twelve official Disney Princesses. I just came back from a trip to Walt Disney World and she walks in the Princess cavalcade. 😁
ah, one of my favorite cartoons💕 i honestly tear up every time at the end when Merida thinks her mom is not going to change back 🥲
The difference between Disney and Pixar is pretty straight forward historically, Disney makes movies for kids, Pixar makes movies for everyone. With Pixar, the adults end up loving the movies as much or more than the kids. With Disney they tend to be enjoyable enough for adults to watch, but unless they spark some nostalgia factor the parents don't love them. In other words, you wouldn't blink twice at a group of adults with no kids going and seeing a Pixar movie, but it would be a bit weird for a Disney movie.
So, then…Pixar makes better movies lol. If u can make a kids movie for kids, great. If you can make a kids movie for everyone, that’s just a more complex movie.
Consider me weird then.😊
this is my favorite disney princess too, it's about family relationship not love story like other movies.
Love Brave. It has so many details in it. Extremely well done.
Your comments regarding culture reminds me of the movie “National Treasure”. One of the reasons I love that movie so much is the interest and passion the main character has in American history. You don’t see that level of respect and honor shown to the founding fathers. Wish there were more movies like that. 🙂
I had to marry one of these guys, I personally would've chosen Young MacGuffin. He seems so sweet. He's like the nicest character in the whole movie.
OMG I love Brave ❤️
Merida is one of my favorite Disney Princesses. 😏🍷
If you want to watch a movie with one of the COOLEST and most Unique animation styles EVER, and is based in Ireland I HIGHLY recommend watching Wolf Walkers!
Oooh now that sounds interesting.
I was watching one of those experts' breakdowns about archery the other night, and they said that this movie is the most accurate depiction of archery (with the arrow physics and her form etc. etc.) of all the movies they looked at. how cool is that?
I'm so happy u reacted to one of my all time favourite movies,ugh,I love this movie so much
I think you guys would LOVE the Irish Folklore Trilogy films from Cartoon Saloon. The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and Wolfwalkers.
Beautiful stories, animation and music.
I also loved Merrida and the Queen's fight scene. So real. It reminds me of my puberty and my fights with my mom. It shows how much love and frustration and expectations and disappointment on each other.
I always tear up when she's just asking for her mum to come back to her 😂
I know this video was a while ago guys, but I just found you recently and have been making my way through! Thought you'd be interested to know that I had a daughter 7 years ago and named her Merida after this movie, when she was 3 months old her hair very suddenly turned ginger and popped so many curls and now is basically the living character, as she also has the ridiculous blue disney eyes!
That’s so crazy!!! All the best to you and your daughter!
Great to see someone else who loves this film as much as I do.
The best part in my opinion is when the mom protects her daughter from Mordu, it shows that u shouldn't mess with a mother or her children. And music is beautiful
y’all should react to flushed away
