Queen Elinor's traditional expectations that Merida takes a husband and become a proper royal lady come into conflict with the single-minded and impetuous Merida's insistence that she controls her own destiny. Princess Merida is aged 16 daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor, who rule their Scottish kingdom.

The people of Scotland have to accept Merida." Origins and concept Merida is certainly no damsel in distress and isn't haughty she is torn between doing what's expected of her and following her heart.

She is a good role model for girls who want to get out there and do it. Overall Merida has received good reports from critics, some saying she is "a breath of fresh air among the princesses, and from a culture Disney has not yet explored. Pixar’s Brave hits theaters on June 22, 2012.The brainchild of original director, Brenda Chapman, Merida is Pixar's first female lead. I’m looking forward to this, since the Cars series was my least favorite Pixar project. That’s a lot of dudes.Īs for the 3 other characters in Brave, we have Queen Elinor played by Emma Thompson, Wise Woman played by Julie Walters, who reminds me of Yubaba in Spirited Away, and Lord Macintosh played by Craig Ferguson, who looks just like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Incredible, Ratatouille starred Remy, WALL-E starred WALL-E, and Up starred Mr. Toy Story had Buzz and Woody, Finding Nemo had Nemo, Cars had Lightning and Mater, Monsters Inc had Billy Crystal and John Goodman, A Bug’s Life starred Flik, Incredibles starred Mr. Yep, that’s right, she’s the first to be a female lead in a Pixar movie. She will be voiced by Kelly Macdonald and will be the first Pixar movie to star a female in the leading role, as well as their first princess. The image of Merida shows off her fiery, red hair (see above). Today we have images of the 3 characters that will be in the movie, along with Merida, the main character. We’re getting more things for Pixar’s Brave now that we have 3 new characters revealed for Pixar’s next movie after Cars 2.
