Brave

In Medieval Scotland, Princess Merida of Clan DunBroch celebrates her birthday and is given a bow and arrow by her father, King Fergus, dismaying his wife Queen Elinor. Ten years later, Merida discovers she is to be betrothed to the son of one of her father's allies, but instead of following tradition, she announces that as her own clan's firstborn, she will compete for her own hand in marriage. After easily besting her suitors, Elinor confronts Merida privately about her rebellious disobedience, leading to a heart-wrenching argument between mother and daughter. Merida tearfully runs away into the forest on her horse Angus while Elinor retrieves Merida's bow from the fire in regret.
