It’s the opposite in fact, Merida is trying to find a way to get out of a marriage. So Brave feels much more Pixar in that respect. There’s still a love story in that movie. However, in the exact same movie, her sister Anna ends up with a good-looking ice-seller. The StoryĮlsa from Frozen is hailed as being a great role model for little girls for not needing a man. The official Disney Princesses, including a 2D design of Merida. There is also one big different that makes her stand out from the rest. She’s certainly not the perfect representation for femininity and perfection that we associate with a Disney Princess. She punches first and asks questions later.

She has a horse that she treats like a horse and not an anthropomorphic animal that can actually understand her. So what does she not have that other Disney Princesses have? There are diegetic songs, but she doesn’t sing. Amy Manson portraying Merida in the fantasy television series ‘Once Upon a Time.’ Surely this makes her more a part of Disney’s classic movies than Pixar’s? Can you imagine Woody or Lightening McQueen in this fairytale television show? Clearly it is Merida herself that fits perfectly into the Once world even though she’s not based on a traditional fairytale like Snow White or Beauty and the Beast. Its in the form of a history update and that's all I'm going to say about it.She was also chosen to be represented in ABC’s Once Upon a Time series.

This may not have had an original story idea (I saw a similar tale of this ilk from Japan some years back) but it could have been so, so, SO much better. Yay! It grabs your interest and you think you are going to possibly see an okay there had to be a But! The script writer and the director decide that all the girls must scream, cry, wail and moan all the frigging time. The opening sequence is good and first actor introductions show good acting.
