#MAIN PROTAGONIST FROM BRAVE DISNEY MOVIE MOVIE#
She is one of a quickly rising tide of fighting females at the box office, whose creators offer relatable portraits of young women with both strength and compassion.ĭaring to move beyond traditional movie tropes, which dictate that female characters must either be highly sexualized or victimized, Merida and some of her current box office companions are offering audiences a change, and 2012 could be the year of the real girl. This particular heroine, however, is in good company on the broader movie landscape. Its protagonists, with all their variety in species, shape and personality, have until now been exclusively male. She is, after all, an adolescent princess, a staple character of children's movies for decades.īut Merida, with her flaming hair, impressive archery skills and feisty Scottish brogue, is both a departure for the studio that created her and a powerful addition to what is becoming a cinematic trend in 2012: a new wave of action heroines. Next to such a list, Merida does not look at first glance like a particularly adventurous choice of protagonist for "Brave," the latest film from hit machine movie studio Pixar.

The three Fathers who are trying to show off their first-born Sons to Merida are Lord Macintosh (this has to be a nod to Apple), Lord MacGuffin, and Lord Dingwall (a fitting name for his look). I guess this isn’t too far from real life!
Her parents, King Fergus and Queen Elinor are typical of movies – the Father is a bit of a restless, high-tempered spirit and her Mother is the calm and rational one. In case you don’t have time to read the whole article, it sums up like this…Merida is a young princess who’s bucking the trends of the past by ignoring tradition.
That being said, this article from Entertainment Weekly introduces us (with beautiful artwork) to nine of the characters who will soon be captivating us in Brave. As we get closer and closer to the release of Pixar’s latest flick, it’s certain that there will be many more articles and reviews coming out.
