The Queen (Emma Thompson), who has spent her life adhering to the expectations placed on royal women, chides her husband for this unladylike gift. Archery is Merida’s greatest joy and talent, although it is a sport associated with male medieval characters like Robin Hood rather than princesses. The film begins with a scene from Merida’s childhood-as a birthday gift, her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), presents her with a bow. The opening scene of Brave introduces several of the film's central themes-Merida as an active and therefore nontraditional princess, her family dynamic as a representation of, and challenge to, the gendered expectations of medieval Scotland, and the truths behind legends. Brave directly acknowledges strictly defined gender roles while also challenging them. Some critics have argued that Merida exhibits more agency than previous Disney princesses-her story, for example, does not involve being rescued by a prince (Nowlan and Finch, 127). One of the main differences between those films and Brave is the lack of a romantic interest for protagonist Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald).
Because if Merida does not make a stand here, she is going to be a doormat for the rest of her life.Brave (2012), a Disney / Pixar animated film directed by Brenda Chapman and Mark Andrews, takes a semi-radical approach towards the depiction of gender roles, especially when compared to previous Disney animated princess tales. Careless, maybe(like nobody ever learned anything from "Macbeth" concerning witches in Scotland) but not selfish. Even worse is how the movie harps on Merida's so-called selfishness. But at the same time, Pixar's DNA commingling with Disney's is taking shape, and it's not entirely pretty, as there are also anachronistic silliness and minor vulgarities here. With the entertaining "Brave," Pixar's winning streak of high quality animation continues.
All of whom she promptly embarrasses with her superior bow skills, before getting in an argument with her mother and then running away into the forest where she comes across a witch minding her business. But as a princess, she has certain responsibilities that her younger brothers do not, like presiding over a competition of three suitors for her hand in marriage. In "Brave," Merida would like nothing more than to run around with her bow and arrow all day. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1.The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1
