Merida, the princess of Clan DunBroch, was presented 3 princes from the other clans, whom she would choose 1 of them for marriage. she was dissatisfied with the arranged marriage and ran away into the forest. she came across wisps that led her to a witch's cottage. the witch promised to grant her wish of changing her mother. but to her horror, instead of changing her mother's mind, her mother was transformed into a bear.
Merida reminded me of Mulan (1998), showing the strength in young girls as well as focusing on the mother-daughter relationship. the darkness of the story made it somewhat frightening if not further more engaging. like a heroine, Merida drew us closely to her heart, she was easily a lovable character and had us rooted for her completely before long, not to mention shedding tears for the pain and fear she endured.
