Quick Synopsis
Set in the Scottish Highlands, the story follows Merida, the headstrong princess of a kingdom ruled by her parents, King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Skilled in archery and resistant to tradition, Merida breaks a long-standing custom, which causes problems for her family and the kingdom. To fix the situation, she visits a quirky Wise Woman who grants her a wish that leads to unintended consequences. Alongside Merida's journey are the kingdom's three lords—Lord MacGuffin, Lord Macintosh, and Lord Dingwall—who provide both assistance and comic moments throughout her quest.
Detailed Synopsis of Brave
In the mystical Scottish Highlands, Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida's quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom's three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin, the surly Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall.
