* ArrangedMarriage: The sons of the three lords compete in the Highland Games for Merida's hand in marriage. She prefers her freedom and doesn't want to get married at all, so she sabotages their chances by entering and winning the archery contest.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter / ChewToy: The triplets' nanny, according to the trailers. The [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender poor woman]] [[AmusingInjuries crashes headlong into a wall]], is the victim of the CarryingACake trope, and suffers a FunbagAirbag with a bear cub.
* BallroomBlitz: It's the throne room, actually, but still formal enough to qualify. The three lords and their clans gather at the castle for the Highland Games, in which their sons will compete for the right to Mérida's hand in marriage. At some point a massive fight breaks out (including [[ManBitesMAn biting]] and at least one [[BreastAttack purple nurple]]). Fergus makes a feeble attempt to restore order before ''literally'' diving into the fray, thus leaving Elinor to restore order.
* BigNo: Young Macintosh's reaction to not hitting a perfect bull's-eye.

* {{Curse}}: A "beastly curse" is unleashed on the land as a result of Mérida's wish.
* DarkerAndEdgier: [[PixarRegulars Lee Unkrich]] has described the film as a "very gritty adventure", darker and more mature in tone than the typical DisneyPrincess movie. The trailer also breaks Pixar's tradition with funny gag-based teaser trailers and {{Audience Alienating Premise}}s, setting the audience up for a story akin to that of a traditional HighFantasy.
* DeathGlare: Mérida and Elinor do this to each other right after the last arrow hits the bull's-eye.

* FreezeFrameBonus: If you look at [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110523234042/pixar/images/6/68/Brave-logo.jpg the title]] closely, you can see Mérida hidden in the letter B, and Elinor in the letter E.
* FunbagAirbag: One of the bear cubs falls into a woman's chest.
* {{Headdesk}}: One of the triplets drops his head on the dinner table while listening to Fergus retell his encounter with Mor'du. It would seem that the king is more impressed with the story than his sons are.
* HollywoodCuisine: "Boys! Don't just play with your haggis!"
* {{Hunk}}: The only guy Mérida seems impressed with at all is a guy who looks like this. Too bad he's not ''really'' Lord Dingwall's son.

->"''Change your fate.''"\\
-- '''{{Tagline}}'''
{{Pixar}}'s 13th film with {{Disney}}, featuring their first journey into the {{Fantasy}} genre (of the FairyTale kind), and their first female lead protagonist. It tells the tale of a Princess Mérida in the mythical Scottish Highlands who defies a sacred custom, bringing turmoil to the kingdom. She [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething takes action herself, sports a bow and arrow, and goes on an adventure with the king's three lords to right her wrongs]].
''Brave'' [[WorkingTitle used to be called]] ''The Bear and the Bow'' while in development, and also used to be helmed by Pixar's first female director, Brenda Chapman (''ThePrinceOfEgypt''), but she was replaced by story artist Mark Andrews and [[SamAndMax Steve Purcell]]. She will still have co-directing credit.
The film comes out June 22, 2012. The teaser trailer can be viewed [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYg0VgPy6Uk here.]] The full trailer can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEHWDA_6e3M here]], as well as one of the film's publicly released scenes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4EZULqhP2E here]].
Now has a [[Characters/{{Brave}} characters sheet]].
