John Ratzenberger, having appeared in every Pixar film to date, was the only American voice actor in Brave; all other voice actors were British. Everyone rejoices and travels outside, leaving Merida and Elinor to make it up to the tapestry room. Despite Elinor's objections, she shoots all three bull's-eyes, even splitting Dingwall's son's arrow, supposedly winning the contest. Merida and Elinor, with the help of her the young princes Harris, Hubert, and Hamish, manage to escape the castle without Fergus finding them, and she and her mother retreat into the forest back to the witch's cottage.

During the credits a will o' the wisp appears over the credit "dedicated with love and gratitude to Steve Jobs, our partner, mentor and friend. During the Brave Press Event (held April 3–5, 2012), it was stated that 111,394 storyboards were created for the film, compared to 80,000 for Cars 2 and 92,854 for Toy Story 3. Mark Andrews confirmed that the Pizza Planet truck, as well as Pixar's other traditional Easter eggs, appear in Brave: "All the typical things, those little insider jokes are all in the movie. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) • Pinocchio (1940) • Fantasia (1940) • Dumbo (1941) • Bambi (1942) • Saludos Amigos (1942) • The Three Caballeros (1944) • Make Mine Music (1946) • Fun and Fancy Free (1947) • Melody Time (1948) • The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. This is the second official Pixar movie to focus solely on a human cast, the first being The Incredibles with the third being its sequel Incredibles 2.

After consulting a witch for help, Merida accidentally curses her mother and is forced to undo the spell herself before it is too late. Trackers suggested that the film might not appeal to the male demographic, whereas the female protagonist was expected to draw females of all ages, and 3D was expected to boost earnings. Merida, an impulsive young lady and daughter to King Fergus and Queen Elinor, is determined to carve her own path in life. When Mor'du is killed towards the end of the film he turns into a will o' the wisp and we realise that they are the spirits of the dead.

Merida takes Elinor up to her room, where she rolls off her bed and Merida discovers that her mother has transformed into a bear. Castle of Magical Dreams • Enchanted Storybook Castle • Fairy Tale Forest • Fantasy Faire • Golden Fairytale Fanfare • Mickey's Magical Celebration • Minnie's Tiara of Dreams • PLAY! We're dealing with a primarily human cast for once, and ones meant to look very different than the ones in Up.Peter Debruge of Variety gave a positive review of the film, remarking that the film "offers a tougher, more self-reliant heroine for an era in which princes aren't so charming, set in a sumptuously detailed Scottish environment where her spirit blazes bright as her fiery red hair. She tells Merida that by the second sunrise the spell would be permanent unless Merida can repair a bond. To make the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years. Merida slashes the family tapestry in anger, then Elinor furiously throws her sword down aside and Merida's bow into the fireplace and glares at her, breaking Merida's heart. Merida and her mother exit the cottage and find shelter for the night, wondering how they'll be able to fix the curse.
