STUDIO SYNOPSIS: 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.

KELLY MACDONALD (Princess Merida)
Merida can be seen in the words of Mark Twain: “20 years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the one’s you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

EMMA THOMPSON (Queen Elinor)
BILLY CONNOLLY (King Fergus)

KEVIN MCKIDD (LORD MacGuffin), ROBBIE COLTRANE (Lord Dingwall) and CRAIG FERGUSON (Lord Macintosh)

Change.
Change Yourself. Change The World.

Trailer with an opening scene
Princess Merida takes the shot at changing the way things are. About change Wayne Gretzy once wrote, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take."
