Brave
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. 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, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall.

There are no Prince Charmings in Pixar's new animated adventure Brave, no knights in shining armor. For the most part, the men in this arresting and affecting movie -- set in an enchanted Scottish kingdom an undetermined number of centuries ago -- are content to booze and brawl and leave the business of running things to the women.
The heroine is a tomboyish teenage princess named Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), who has porcelain white skin, saucerlike blue eyes and a flaming and unruly head of red curls. At the start of the film, she is fighting against her parents' dictate that she must be betrothed to one of the eldest sons of the kingdom's most respected families. That sounds like a familiar fairy-tale theme, but Brave dares to take Merida's side in the debate: I can't think of another children's movie so resolutely and proudly unconcerned with finding a square-jawed hunk for its heroine.
