Harness the wind and become master of your own fate! That sort of thing. The theme of the movie: be brave enough to set your own destiny. Merida and Queen Elinor have until the second sunrise to mend the rift between them or else her mother will be doomed to remain a beast for all time. She meets an old witch in the woods who prepares a spell "to change her mother." Merida hopes the spell will cause her mother to change her mind about marrying her daughter off, but instead the spell turns her mother into a bear. Her mother is appalled by her behavior and in a fit of temper, Merida runs away from the castle. Merida does not want to get married and despises the potential suitors, and so bucks tradition and competes in the games herself, "winning her own hand" in order that she might hopefully escape a marriage. These suitors will compete in the game of her choosing, the winner set to be her new husband. The time has come to call the clans together to present suitors for Merida's hand in marriage. The heroine of the film is Princess Merida, the very outgoing and headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. The movie is set in the Highlands of Scotland. We were not remotely charmed and though I am sure that there are plenty out there that will disagree with me on this point: we did not like it. His sister and fiance came over and watched the kids (this is always a big hit for the kids!) and so off we went with a song in our hearts and a glimmer of hope that this movie might enchant us in some small form or fashion (it being Jonathan's birthday and all).Īlas, it was not to be. Nevertheless, it was my husband's birthday this past weekend and he voted for a date night which included a viewing of this new movie. We had both seen trailers for it and had suspicions that we would not like it. This past weekend Disney Pixar released its newest movie - Brave.
