One movie that I waited all year for was Brave.

Set in the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland, Disney Pixar’s Brave follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to change her fate, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh  and cantankerous Lord Dingwall, unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she turns to an eccentric Witch, she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her resources including her mischievous triplet brothers to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery.

*** I am Scottish so I grew up knowing the clans and tartans. So when I heard that Disney Pixar was coming out with a Princess movie based in Scotland, I was so thrilled and couldn’t wait to see it. I was actually following along with the clans as I was watching and learning. Every detail of this movie is on key with what Scotland looks like, I just can’t get over the detail. If you don’t know what Clans and Tartans are you will definitely find out in this movie. Clans are based on your last name, and your tartan is how you identify yourself during ceremonies.

For Ex my Clan is Cunningham and this is how you would identify

Tartan:

Another reason I really like this movie is it’s a Princess movie, but not a typical Princess movie. Most Princess movies are the same, evil step-mother or sister that hates her. Then she finds love and they live happily ever after. the end.  In Brave, there is so much adventure and she is not girly at all. She loves to use a bow and she loves adventure.   This is the perfect holiday movie for anyone, it’s funny, scary, exciting and so much more.
