Production;
Announced in April 2008 as The Bear and the Bow, Brave is Pixar's first fairy tale, and is somewhat darker
and more mature in tone than its previous films. Brenda Chapman considers it a fairy tale in the tradition of Hans
Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. Chapman conceived the project and was announced as the director
of the film, making her Pixar's first female director, but in October 2010, she was replaced by Mark Andrews
following creative disagreements. Chapman later stated that her “vision came through in the film” and that she
remains “very proud of the movie, and that I ultimately stood up for myself.”

Merida is the first female lead protagonist in a Pixar film. She was originally to be voiced by Reese Witherspoon,
who declined due to scheduling issues. Instead, the character was voiced by Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald,
recently acclaimed for her role as Margaret Schroeder in HBO's Boardwalk Empire.

The end credits include a special tribute to Pixar co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, who died in 2011.

"Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it.
Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one's destiny intertwines with many others.
It's the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Some never find it. But there are some who are led."
