Story: | 
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been 
passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of 
Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida 
(voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of 
beasts. 
  
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of 
Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve 
her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious 
lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord 
Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of 
Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the 
kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie 
Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces 
Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse 
before it's too late.
