History Awesome / Brave

** The newest teaser has Merida stepping up to the archery contest in defiance of the prize of her hand in marriage, striking every bulls-eye and then cleaving the winning arrow in HALF with amazing precision. All the while her mother is shouting at her to stop. The teaser ends with them glaring at each other. For a Disney/Pixar Princess, that's pretty badass.

* Merida fighting [[spoiler: her dad, the Bear King himself, to protect her mother and make him see sense. She more than held her own, so obviously he taught her well]]
-->'''Merida''': [[spoiler: '''I WON'T LET YOU KILL MY MOTHER'''!]]
** YMMV, but this bit was a TearJerker for me, watching Merida and Elinor defend each other.

** Made even more awesome when you consider that, throughout the entire film, she has engaged in no violence at all, [[spoiler: seeing it as a lapse into her bear side. Mordu goes for her daughter?]] All bets are off.

** [[spoiler:Bear!Elinor throws off ''all'' 4 clans pinning her to the ground when Mordu attacks Merida. Mama Bear indeed]]

* The teaser: Mérida is faced with a gigantic bear, and doesn't flinch as she fires an arrow into its face. All while surrounded by perhaps the most gorgeous SceneryPorn Pixar has created to date.

-->Mérida tells her that she isn’t marrying ''anyone''. Then she fights bears.

* At the end of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtrDBQ_qmlg "Family Legends" trailer]], Merida leaps in slow-mo to escape from Mordu as [[spoiler:Bear!Elinor]] holds a paw out to grab her hand and Mordu's claw swings toward Merida.

* Honestly, I'd say that anyone who likes fiery redheaded scottish women probably sees the movie itself as pretty damned awesome.

* AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack will feature ''five'' songs, one of which will be sung by Julie Fowlis, who had another song featured in the trailers. Other performers include Birdy with Mumford & Sons, BillyConnolly, and EmmaThompson.

*** That whol scene is a MOA for the Pixar animators. The way the arrow bends, and then spins? Seriously freaking cool.

* If you look closely as she fires the arrow, you can see the fletching of the arrow cut her cheek. THAT'S attention to detail.
