* As the king tells the story, one of the boys is silently acting it out right along with him. He's not mocking his dad, he's memorizing the story to retell in the future.

** Even better, if you look closely at the tapestry, at the different corners of the rectangle that surrounds the circle with the family in it, there are four smaller circles that each hold from clockwise; A sword, a harp, a carved stone, and a cauldron. Those objects are notable for being of important value in Gaelic and greater Celtic myths, as they are best notable for being associated with the [[TheFairFolk Daoine Sìdhe]] of Scottish myth.
*** The sword on the top left is likely the Sword of Light (''Claidheamh Soluis''), notable for being held by various heroes of ancient legend.
*** The harp on the top right is possibly the magic harp held by Aengus of the Ever Young, the Gaelic god of summer, made of a gold body and silver strings, and when it is played it attracts the attention of women and animals.

** It's also worth noting that when Merida and the triplets arrive to stop Fergus, they do so in full view of Elinor. Imagine how she must have felt, [[AdultFear suddenly discovering that her three youngest children were now in the same position as her,]] and then realizing that if she lost her humanity for good, so would they.

* During the tournament, why does Fergus easily side with Merida over trolling the suitors when he should be on his wife's side? Bear in mind, Fergus is a father, and as with most fathers of daughters, he's protective of Merida and isn't quite ready to see her married off to just ''any'' suitor.

* When I received my Disney store Elinor and Merida dolls, I was at first surprised at how young Elinor looks (the doll lacks the character's gray hair in the movie). At first I was annoyed, but then I realized: it's entirely possible that Elinor is as young as 30. Considering the time frame, she could have been married at fourteen and given birth to Merida at fifteen. If Merida is around the same age now, and expected to marry already, it makes sense that Elinor really is quite young.

Dewicking Not So Different as it is now a disambig.


* Merida complains early in the film that Elinor doesn't listen to her and that she thinks she knows best. When the [[InsistentTerminology "Woodcarver"]] tries to dissuade Merida from getting a spell to "change her fate", she doesn't listen even when the "Woodcarver" outright says that many people tend to be disappointed by the spell. [[LikeFatherLikeSon Apple never does fall far from the tree,]] [[NotSoDifferent does it?]]

** Brown bears come in colours other than just plain brown, including black, Mor'du and Elinor are definitely not American (or Asian) black bears in their morphological appearance. They are just darker morphs of the Brown Bear.

* The connection between Mor'du and the Wisps makes a lot of sense when you think about the original folklore that inspired the Will o' the Wisp. The story goes that a man was denied entrance to heaven upon his death because of the wicked life he lived, and his spirit was forced to wander the earth for all eternity. Mor'du is very similar. He was cursed for his hubris and effectively turned immortal, unable to move on to the next life. And of course, by the end of the movie, he becomes a Wisp as well!

** Now if you're a kid person, imagine the horror of three children who are seemingly only just above toddler age being condemned to TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody fate that Mor'du suffered and Elinor almost suffered due to their bear transformations. ''Then'' imagine that if the spell hadn't been reversed in the nick of time on the CelestialDeadline, Fergus and Merida wouldn't have just lost Elinor to that fate, they would've lost the triplets too!

* Overlapping with Fridge Horror a bit; the will-o'-the-wisps' appearances have one other purpose besides leading Merida to the Witch's cottage:saving her from Mor'du.

Added DiffLines:

* Although the film and the cast only really focus on the threat that Elinor will turn into a bear in body and mind permanently if she isn't changed back by the CelestialDeadline, this threat also applies to the triplets. Bear in mind: it's indicated that they ate the spell cake on the same night as Elinor after she and Merida escaped the castle, so when the second sunrise was about to turn Elinor into a bear forever, it was also the triplets' CelestialDeadline and not the next sunrise over.
