A way in which a princess movie can have a good moral is to have a strong female protagonist, like a lady who is able to think and make decisions for herself. Unfortunately, almost every Disney princess movie up until very recently hasn’t had the most productive morals.
In order for these specific movies to be productive is to provide a good moral for children to learn from. "Brave" seems at a loss to deal with her as a girl and makes her a sort of honorary boy.Disney princess movies are watched by many children in this country, and there are certain stereotypes that these movies build in young minds. Having flatly rejected the three suitors proposed by her family, she is apparently prepared to go through life quite happily without a husband, and we can imagine her in later years, a weathered and indomitable Amazon queen, sort of a Boudica for the Scots. But Merida is far from being a typical fairy-tale princess. Elinor is a good sport, under the circumstances. "Brave" has an uplifting message about improving communication between mothers and daughters, although transforming your mom into a bear is a rather extreme first step. The Scottish Highlands are thrillingly painted in astonishing detail, and some action shows Merida's archery more than equal in assorted emergencies. This is a great-looking movie, much enlivened by the inspiration of giving Merida three small brothers, little redheaded triplets. Unsurprisingly, when he sees his wife as a bear, he fails to recognize her.Īnd so on. King Fergus ( Billy Connolly) had his leg bitten off by a bear (in the prologue), and has been indisposed toward them ever since. After she and her mother absorb what has happened, they begin to work together and grow closer than ever, even though the queen cannot speak. Merida has exactly two days to reverse the charm. Luckily, the magic spell comes with an escape clause. Witches never know how to stop when they're ahead.
She begs for a magic spell that will change Queen Elinor's mind, but it changes more than that: It turns Elinor into a bear.
Merida leaps upon her trusty steed and flees into the forest, where her friends the will-o-the-wisps lead her to the cottage of a gnarled old witch ( Julie Walters). Nothing doing, especially since all three candidates are doofuses. Then we flash forward to Merida as a young lady of marriageable age, who is startled by request from Queen Elinor ( Emma Thompson) to choose among three possible husbands chosen by her clan. The princess is Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), seen in an action-packed prologue as a flame-haired Scottish tomboy whose life is changed by an early birthday gift of a bow, which quickly inspires her to become the best archer in the kingdom.
