Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. “Brave” follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong 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 unruly and 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). From Disney and Pixar, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate. Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland.

Which one of these stills is your favorite? Merida holding her sword tightly as she fights someone (no spoilers!) with a determined look on her face is another great one. Queen Elinor talking to her daughter, Merida, is one of those and probably my favorite from this selection. Merida resonated with moviegoers overseas, as seen by the $538.9 million worldwide haul of the movie. This proved comparable to the $592.4 million global gross of 'Tangled.'Īmong 2012 titles, 'Brave' was the 13th largest release of the year worldwide (via Box Office Mojo), outpacing the likes of 'Wreck-It Ralph,' 'Django Unchained,' and 'Prometheus.' Not only was 'Brave' another box office winner for Pixar, but it was a clear indicator that audiences were once again craving entertaining fairy tales free of self-referential snark.I am certainly a fan of images that feature breathtaking landscapes, but my favorite stills tend to be those that feature the most emotion.

The film pulled in $237.2 million at the domestic box office, putting it above many other Pixar projects, including titles like 'Toy Story,' 'Ratatouille,' and 'WALL♾.' It even pulled ahead of the lifetime gross of additional animated fairy tales on the market, such as juggernauts like ' Aladdin.' Even better, the box office success of 'Brave' was not just limited to domestic theaters. Those worries ended up being misplaced, as 'Brave' became a tidy hit in its theatrical run.
