Brave premiered on June 10, 2012, at the Seattle International Film Festival, and was released in North America on June 22, 2012. It won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Feature Film. Merida is the first Disney Princess created by Pixar and the film is also dedicated to Steve Jobs, who died before the film’s release. It tells the story of a princess named Merida who defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in the kingdom by expressing the desire not to be betrothed. When her mother falls victim to a beastly curse turning into a bear, Merida must look within herself and find the key to saving the kingdom. She learns from Elinor that failure to consent to the betrothal could harm Dunbroch, and is reminded of a legend about a prince whose pride and refusal to follow his father’s wishes destroyed his kingdom. The allied clan chieftains and their first-born sons arrive to compete in the Highland games for Merida’s hand in marriage.
She easily bests her suitors in an archery contest, shaming the other clans, and runs away into the forest after a heated disagreement with El inor. Ten years later, she is now a free-spirited and fiery young woman, who dislikes her princess duties and is now big sister to identical triplets —Harris, Hubert, and Hamish. To create the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years. It is also the first film to use the Dolby Atmos sound format, and it was released to both positive reviews and box office success. It also won the Oscar for best animated feature film, as well as the Golden Globes for best picture and best animated short, and a BAFTAs for best animation feature film and best director, both for Mark Andrews, and best screenplay, for Brenda Chapman, who was Pixar’s first female director of a feature-length film. The movie was also nominated for the Academy Awards for best live-action short, for which it won a Golden Globe and the Golden Screen Award for best supporting actor, John Cusack, for his portrayal of Merida as a young boy. It has also won numerous other awards, including the Best Animated Short Film Oscar and the Best Adapted Short Film Academy Award for the short film for La Luna, directed by Enrico Casarosa. In the UK, the film was released on November 14, 2011.
