Merida's struggle for independence and her mother's desire to honor tradition drive the movie's action. Much of the conflict arises out of Merida's mother and her insistence that Merida behave as a proper princess, complete with decorum, etiquette and obedience.

In the process, she inadvertently causes the entire kingdom to fall into disarray and must use her bow and her bravery to put things right.

'Brave' is about Merida, a spunky princess determined to change her fate and avoid being trapped by her kingdom's customs. However, its most noteworthy bar-raiser is its new take of the notion of fairy tale happiness. Alas, to ensure that no one else can achieve “the Merida”-a welcome alternative to “the Jennifer Aniston”-Pixar says it has no plans to license any components of the new software outside the company.The folks at Pixar may have broken their stride with 'Cars 2' last year, but they've left that misstep far behind with 'Brave.' This Disney-style princess adventure, set in ancient Scotland, easily matches the polish and style Pixar is known for. According to T he Wall Street Journal, Pixar had a new software program engineered just so that the Scottish heroine’s hair could “react more realistically to the character’s movements and surroundings.” As if that weren’t impressive enough, the computer-animated-film studio created her glossy, flame-colored ringlets from “1,500 individually sculpted curves, distinct points in a three-dimensional space, that are programmed to bounce and interact in relation to one another via a new software system.” The result is one of the most eye-catching manes in Hollywood, which is unfortunate for Merida, considering that she can’t cash in on any hair-product endorsement deals (possibly with Rebekah Brooks providing the “before” to Merida’s hair-care routine “after”). Just because Princess Merida is a computer-animated character doesn’t mean that her hair didn’t require its own pricey upkeep during the making of Brave.
