However, in doing so, Merida unwittingly unleashes a curse that could potentially tear her family - and the entire kingdom - apart.?īrave is Pixar’s most visually stunning film arguably their best since Finding Nemo. When three Highland chiefs show up in the hopes that Merida will select one of their sons for marriage, the princess shirks her royal duties and sets off to enlist the help of a witch (Julie Walters) in a desperate attempt to change her fate. With a tangle of the most beautiful red hair you’ll ever see, Merida resists the attempts of her parents, King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), to see her wed to a rival clansman to keep the peace. Strong-willed Scottish princess, Merida (Kelly Macdonald), has a tongue as sharp as her archery skills are exact. This time around, though, Pixar is doing something it has never done before - centre its entire story around a feisty heroine. The secret to the studio’s success? The ability to appeal to both children and adults. Since the studio’s 1995 release of Toy Story (hard to believe it’s been that long!), Pixar has been a box office mainstay with its charming stories about adventurous fish, lonely little robots and a family of superheroes. With each new release of a Disney/Pixar film, there’s a certain expectation of quality family entertainment.
