But redheads are so pretty, I think you look hotter than usual. Also, it was so heartwarming seeing you enjoy the representation, as a latina Encanto is the closest an international movie has done it for me, Coco is second, because it's more specifically Mexican/Central American, and I'm South American, so even though I feel kinship with them irl, it's not the same. I supposed it's how you would feel when watching Irish things?
Fun fact! Scotland actually used to have bears, but they went locally extinct because of hunting in the country. There were some bears around in the middle ages. They were rare even then, but they existed.

I heard that originally, Young MacGuffin was actually just going to be speaking gibberish as a joke, but the voice actor suggested having him speak that dialect, since he himself was fluent in it.
25:03 The moment when Merida realises and we all realise that Elinor wasn't raising her just to be a wife to sit meekly behind her husband and to do whatever she's told. She's raised her to be a queen - to govern her clan and her kingdom alongside her husband just as she's been doing with Fergus. Etiquette, public speaking and history, all necessary skills you need when you're sitting at the head of a people.
Got it in one. All the skills Merida was learning was to ensure that everyone, even her own husband, would show her proper respect and defer to her authority. Even if she and her husband never fall in love, he would never be able to put her down because she has an equal, if not higher, standing than him. If not love, then at least plenty of respect. Which is why Elinor saw it as no big deal and not the end of the world

One of the details of the tapestry that I love is that Merida is the one holding her mother's hand, anchoring Eleanor to the rest of the family that she's so different from in many ways (reserved and brunette versus boisterous and redheaded to start with).
I took a little, elderly Scottish woman named Maria to see this in a small theater, here; in Jacksonville. We came out of the theater, and every little girl swarmed her, wanting to talk to Merida; thinking that was her story. Maria was so happy to have the attention of all those little girls, it made her cry. It was an honor to spend the day with her. The movie was all the energy she had, but, when I dropped her off at her apartment in the senior living building, I bet she went straight to sleep and dreamt well of home, and that lake of little girls.
Also when Merida goes against her father. She’s a bad ass!!! ⚔️🛡️ she’s clearly a daddy’s girl, but she loves her mom just as much and was willing to go against her father to protect her even though her mom hasn’t listened to her the past.
I really enjoyed this movie and I don't know why people like to hate on it. It's a beautiful story of a daughter's relationship with her mom. And it's so nice to see the parents have such a loving relationship. Like...I STAND THIS FILM!!
@@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween oh really? For me personally, it felt like it tied things together much quicker because they learned how to see one another in a different light and put differences aside because they love one another. I totally get what you're saying though! To each their own! :)

@@felixhenson9926 Incomprehensible... Unless you're "in the know" ;) Fortunately I've spent a wee bit of time with the Scottish, so I was able to pick up a fair bit of what he was saying lol
@@felixhenson9926That was the intention. But the actor who voiced him asked if he could use his first language, his dialect of Scottish. That turned out to be just as incomprehensible as they wanted but also perfectly welcome for the setting.
Bears were roaming Scotland and the whole of the isles till mid 1500's and are found decorating medieval tapestry, metal work, stone work and written documents.
As a very very curly girl, when I first saw a teaser for this movie, I *shrieked* out loud in the theatre when Merida pulled back her hood to reveal this CASCADE of curly hair.
Periodt! I practically dragged my mother to see Brave in theaters as a little girl. Similarly to Merida and Eleanor, I have big tightly curled hair and she has straight hair. We both loved it! :)
The entire cast is Scottish, and they added true Scot touches to their lines during recording. Nobody was putting on their accents; all were authentic.
That's not 100% true... Julie Walters and Emma Thompson are not Scottish. I do know from seeing interviews that Emma Thompson's dad was Scottish so she had an immediate family member whose accent she grew up hearing. But I don't know if that same can be said about Julie Walters. But other than those two actresses - The rest of the cast is genuinely Scottish.
I don't mind where their historic origins are or what the cast members are themselves. I'm just one of the few Hispanic cousins who understand enough of the unmentioned relationship details that no other large wide spread group really gives me the feeling of clear identity, my other relatives just help me with having clues of historic culture facts. But I love my Celtic cousins and Afro related cousins deeply enough to not let it hide at all. In my heart it's Celtic stories and old symbols plus the beautiful old art, and with Afro related people it's how groovy I instantly become hearing their widely shared music with various jazz rhythms. My American history pieces can take months to put together though, with it being so rare to find history books that really respect America.
The fact that he heard Young McGuffin and IMMEDIATELY not only understood what he said but repeated it perfectly had me and my boyfriend with our mouths open 😂
25:45 "It's just not fair making us fight for a quine that does not want any part of it" I saw it in a video once. Edit: Thanks to the person who corrected the queen to quine
I had a crush on him when I watched it and I was crossing my fingers, hoping she'd choose him. I couldn't understand him and yet he doesn't seem so annoying like that black-haired dude.
30:11 Sometimes I wish they'd kept their original plan - to see the wisp that the prince had become join three others who were waiting for him....see him reunite with his brothers....
Ooh. That would’ve been cool, and if they only showed 3 wisps at once the whole movie. And maybe some slight design variations to show it is only these 3 wisps. Meaning it was his brothers the whole time trying to find someone to release him.
Its nice to see an actual scottish person react. As an american i get tired of people just reacting to the doric in this like "wHys hE SpeAkInG GiBbErIsh" plus loved that you translated for us with less trained ears.
Honestly he’s the stuff of nightmares for kids. I thought he was scary but I was never truly afraid of him somehow. And strangely, he helped me get over my irrational fear of a bear jumping through my window at night and eating me. I had some very specific fears when I was in elementary school.
I absolutely loved it when one of the suitor's clans were called the "McGuffins." A McGuffin was old Hollywood film-making slang, made famous by Alfred Hitchcock. A "McGuffin" was something that served no purpose in a film, other than to move the plot along to the next point.
idk what it was about this movie but me and my sister loved it SO much as kids we’d watch it all the time😭 also fun little fact: merida’s voice actress went to my highschool we still have a little plaque thing in the atrium for her
I don’t know much about Scotland but I just think it’s so sweet that so much of his movie resonates with him. Just goes to show how important representation is.
When I worked at Walt Disney World, one of the face actors playing Merida in the Festival of Fantasy Parade was actually Scottish and also a lesbian. We were work friends. She very easily pushed Merida up the ranks to top 3 favorite princesses in my mind. I miiiiight've had a huge crush on her lmao.
Back in 2016 I ended up being first in line to get a photo with the young woman who was playing as Merida for photo ops. It was honestly such a highlight of the trip for me because she grabbed my hand and walked me up to the photo area and chatted with me the whole time (and commented on my dress as it was pretty medieval-esque) and said something like "That dress looks like something my mother would pick out" it was one of the best photo ops I ever had with a Disney character!
Climbs mountains on days off + trained in weaponry + untamable hair + eats whole apples in less than 6 seconds = perfect aro/ace representation. Love Merida.
I saw this when it first came out, too... which was not to long after my mom passed. When it got to that same part at the end that you cried at, Merida crying "I want you back" OMG I started sobbing in the theater. I wanted my mom back, too.
These blue lights in the swamp are called "Irrlichte" in geman which means "light that leads astray" and you are warned to never follow them for they lead to the other world /death. In reality they are gases from the wet ground which burn in a small flame when getting in contact with air. But it is allways better to not follow them, cause they don't lead a safe way necessarily. And I love the scottish accent!
True and Thank You. I have a German grandfather and a Scandinavian great grandfather. But your statement is a lot like the Volcano facts in lots of Tuatha De Danaan details of what Caileach, Dagda and many others did separately and together to take care of the planet.
See.............. that's close enough to old English to not confuse me but I had no clue it was Doric. just like how easily I can figure out some Spanish with other Celtic country words like Portugese and Italian language plus figuring out Brazilian words or really close languages too, but especially when the words look similar.
You're probably the only person I've seen actually notice the blonde guy was speaking an actual language and not just gibberish 😅 lol (Ps: I don't understand a word he says, but I know he is speaking an actual language)
The shipper in me likes to think that in the future Merida does have a relationship with the blonde prince w the heavier accent (idr his name soz). From what little we got to see of all of their personalities he seemed to be the most sensible in a way that I could see him knowing and understanding who Merida is (strengths, weakness’, and eccentricities a like) and appreciating them all rather than trying to change her into something she isn’t.
Fun fact, young macguffin (Kevin mckidd’s character) was in fact her love interest in pre-production. The alternate ending with them (kinda sorta) is in the official art book.
Even though Young Dingwall was on the sweeter side, he just wouldn’t have been able to have the character to lead. That’s what I get from him. He wouldn’t be able to keep up with Merida. With young McGuffin, it’s clear that he is good tempered, and treats Merida as an equal. And from what we’ve seen, he acknowledges and respects her feelings. And when Push comes to shove, I feel like he can DEFINITELY have to fight back if he had more experience leading the Clan as well. Even though I liked how Merida at the end is not focused to have a guy at her side. Young McGuffin seems to be the best match for her as a love interest. She would teach him to be firm and fight back. He would be the calm after her storm.
My Mum and I took my nephew to watch this in the cinema, but he a little too young and was *SO* frightened by Mor'du in the beginning, he cried until we left. Even though Mum and I hardly ever fought, I'm really glad we sat down to watch this together before she passed suddenly a few years ago. She was definitely a Mama Bear, even when I'd fallen into traps of my own stupid making. Miss her every day ♡♡
3:24 No one usually sees it, but if you look closely, you can see Merida and Queen Elinor in the letters of the title. Merida is in the B and Elinor is in the E. And the circle Elinor is holding has 3 bear cubs in it, symbolizing Merida's triplet brothers.
The way I’m OBSESSED with Merida tearing her dress and metaphorically breaking the old traditions and her old relationship with her mother …. CINEMA 🤌🏻
Will-o-wisps are foundationally mischievous beings that consistently lead ppl to their deaths so i think its funny that merida just casually follows them throughout the movie😂
I love this film! Merida vying for her own hand is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a Disney film! The argument between her and her mom, I felt it when Merida said what she said when she ripped the tapestry and the mother realizing what the hurt she has caused by burning her bow. I feel that these two scenes at my core, the acting is just so good! If you’re starting your Disney journey, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Hunchback and Tarzan are a must!!! The first two are critically underrated.
I am actually glad it's not your first time watching cause I would have said you should be ashamed. You know how fast my Hispanic ass rushed to watch Encanto. Also if u haven't seen it watch Encanto 😊
Something I find funny, is archery was actually considered a very lady like pursuit! It was exercise, but you could stand still to do it. There are bunches of examples of medieval art depicting women in floor length dresses wielding bows.
this film awakens my inner scottish pride any time i watch it. i strongly disliked how much people were disappointed by it and ripped into it. this was a passion project like none other
It's just not fair to force a girl to be part of something she doesn't want to be so let's not argue about this princess and the future right now dad, is his key attitude at the moment.
I think this is the best reaction to Brave I've watched! First of all, your little facts on Scottish culture and language were just an amazing bonus (and woow I've never seen anyone even slightly understanding the kid and his strong accent, I had read I don't remember where that the voice actor intentionally made it very hard to understand so that was so great to hear somewhat of a translation). And just seeing you enjoy the Scottish part of the movie, that was so great to watch! Brave have been one of my favourite Disney since I've first seen it, the characters, the setting, the music, the story, everything is sooo great about it, so glad you loved it
little Merida and the lil cubs mean everything to me, they’re so damn cute 🥹🫶🏼 I’m so happy I came across your channel, you’re like the scottish version of Brad Evans and I’m OBSESSED✨
Thank you for giving us non-Scottish folk a translation of the blonde suitor with the ultra-thicc accent! I've been wondering for YEARS what he said- obviously I figured it was real, but without any knowledge of the dialect myself, it feels like learning a dead language without a teacher. So, again @niallnochill, thank you! Glad to see you enjoyed this film as much as I did- & there's no shame in crying. It's the power Disney holds regardless of its content lol.
Before reading the commment section I literally had no idea that Brave was disliked by some people?? That's so sad, I loved this movie to pieces growing up and now watching this reaction reminded me why I loved it so much
When I tell you the flashback sequence Merida has when she’s putting the pieces together about Mor’du gave me NIGHTMARES for WEEKS as a child, I legit still jump when the princes’ head snaps into Mor’du 😭😭 it’s a 10/10 movie though
This was my husband's favorite movie. He was a long, curly haired ginger. Our daughter is too. You saying not to trust them made me laugh. I trusted him more than anything in my life. He never did wrong by me
I loved this movie because I'm an archer and I never want to get married. Some people don't like this movie, but I'll never be one of them. Thanks for reacting to it!
I absolutely love that they accurately showed the archer’s paradox in motion. I saw one reaction where the slow motion shot they were like “Ohh it’s wobbly!” I’m like, it’s supposed to be. That’s actually how it flys straight.
When I first watched Brave with our daughter and the Mackintosh first appeared, had I been drinking something I would have spit it out…and as the show went on, uncovering his and his son’s special personalities? I called up my sister (yes, during the movie, we were watching it at home,) and told her, “OH, MY GOD, MICHELE! YOU HAVE TO WATCH BRAVE THIS INSTANT!” She is single without children and asked me why I thought that. I just said, “I will pester you about this until you watch it. That’s a fact. And when you do, you will know EXACTLY WHY I insist that you watch it.” She did watch it, and immediately called me while she was still watching it and said, “OH, MY GOD! KATHY! TTHE MACKINTOSH IS DAD!!!”😂😂😂💯 and, to be honest, his son was also perfectly descriptive of our dad…vain, highly competitive, short temper, explosive anger, dubious of everyone else’s intentions, basically narcissistic… Ok…I am a U.S. American. My dad’s family were INSANE, and super proud of their Scots ancestry…I mean, my folks told me not to let my grandparents know that I was babysitting for a Campbell family in the 1980’s kind of insane…(not meaning to be disrespectful, just, why would I be talking to my grandparents about babysitting gigs? We lived 500 miles away from them.)
Also, that horse is MASSIVE. this girl is riding stirrup-less through the woods, swerving around trees and jumping over logs without even holding onto the reigns, and still making accurate shots when this horse is like 20 hands. Insane.
I'm brazilian and I always loved this movie so much! It always resonated a lot w me and watching you explain stuff, give context in cultural/ language things I had no idea it made me love and appreciate the movie even more!
I loved the little scottish lessons! my ancestry is Celtic and French but my parents and I were born in America. I love learning things that I otherwise wouldn't in the form of entertainment! ❤❤❤
I agree, that's one of the main reasons I really enjoy learning how Spain is quietly tied to more than one Celtic Mama Land Theory if both Scotland and Ireland but has its own nearly forgotten Ancient Celtic Cities in several locations . Even if it isn't noticable to the crowds It's a great joy to be a Celtic relative. Celta Cuento De Princessa Merida Gracias Por La Pelicula.
This movie literally made me obsessed with Scotland, I'm literally not kidding. 😂Before, I didn't know anything about Scotland or any countries, but when this movie came out I fell in love. the aesthetics the plot and story in general Scotland is one of my favorite countries.It's a shame that it's an underrated Disney movie, not many people value it for what it really is, but it was so fun to watch this movie with you Greetings.😂🙌
I had a time I was watching anything and everything Scottish/with Scottish accents I could find. David Tennet shows up multiple times lol. There’s even a movie with David Tennet and the voice of Merida, where they are love interests.
Idk why people hate this movie so much, it's not flawless but it's not nearly as bad as everyone says, either. It has so much unique charm and genuinely hilarious jokes.
??????????? With this animated film of little known historic facts of Scotland it's more often historic words and less known phrases of expression that sound similar to slang here in America even though they're saying something serious to another character. Clearly part of this fun film's viewer issues is many aren't patient about figuring out what a cartoon is actually trying to say throughout the movie.
This movie always makes me cry. It reminds me of the arguments and good times I’ve had with my own mom. Especially the scene where she says “I’ll always be right here.” 😢😊
I only just discovered your channel today. This video popped up in my suggested videos & since "Brave" is one of my favorite movies, I clicked on it. I am a ginger of Scottish ancestry with long crazy hair & I used to shoot a lovely recurve bow back in the day, so I've always related to Merida. I am so glad I stumbled on this video - you are adorable! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Now, I'm going to go watch "Brave" myself. Have a bonny day!
The European brown bear was present in Scotland until around the 10th century but hunting and habitat loss led to its extinction. The last known Scottish brown bear was killed in the 9th century, and the species was officially declared extinct in Scotland in the 10th century. So there were definitely more kinds of bears than the current ones present if you go back far enough lol
I’m Australian but man Idek how to explain it. The energy this movie gives you at times, particularly with the soundtrack, like it just makes me appreciate Scottish culture even more and I completely understand how you’d feel patriotic watching this as a Scottish person.
This movie never ever fails to make me sob, it's so good; having always had an up-and-down relationship with my mother, especially when I was younger, it hits incredibly close to home
I LOVE BRAVE!! I'm of Mexican descent, short brown girl, so whenever I get into a conversation of my favorite Disney princess, people always assume one of the darker skinned ones but NAH, Merida is my FUCKING FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCESS!! Her story and just her as a character I really connect with. So I loved how you reacted to this with so much enthusiasm.
I delight the aspects of Scottish culture in Brave, the theme of the movie, that one kid who speaks a dialect called Doric which I hardly understand, Merida is a bold princess herself
I love that the witch in the woods was also Ma Weasley. No wonder she's so good at sorting out parent-child relationships. I forgot how much I loved this movie.
Every time I watch Merida's speech to her mom, from the first time in the theaters to just now in your video, I cry. I had seen it alongside my mom and sister in the theater, and at the end my sister and I both hugged our mom.
I've been thinking: could those little blue lights actually be the spirits of soldiers from the ancient kingdom? Guiding Merida on a path that could free them or their prince. I don't know.
Those early time wisps can be several things today. Bright Will of the Wisps whch scientifically are wisps from gas under Earth's ground, Lit up Fae flying like they do in Fern Gully's movie, Sidhe/ Sith/ Hada/ Fada gliding in the forest, dwarf sized ghosts, maybe spirits of creatures considered a guardian of the wilderness in several countries including some of the less known water spirits, or even a spirit of a shorter dragon.
Bro/Queen, ( sorry, new here so dont know what pronouns you go by) Brave is my childhood. im not scottish but i am half irish. i remember thinking she was irish like me but found out in my teen years after watching this movie that she was scottish! She literally sent me through the whole Outlander show and love for everything scottish cause i love Merida so much! fun fact: even while watching this video i was able to quote every single line by heart and i havent even watched Brave for years now. You translating and helping explain some of the stuff gave me joy! Wouldve loved having a scottish friend explaining my " dumb" questions since i was genuinely curious about a lot of things. ok, i'll go now! sorry for the random rant!
I dont know how exaggerated some of the vas may have made it but fun fact the vast majority of the voice actors are actually scottish in the movie, it's great.

The movie was all the energy she had, but, when I dropped her off at her apartment in the senior living building, I bet she went straight to sleep and dreamt well of home, and that lake of little girls.
STOP THIS IS SO CUTE 🥹🥹
OMG 😭😭😭
Aww, that sounds so sweet! 😂😊❤🎉 Kids are so innocent, man. 🥺🙏👍
Aw! I love this.
OMG STAWPP
Also when Merida goes against her father. She’s a bad ass!!! ⚔️🛡️ she’s clearly a daddy’s girl, but she loves her mom just as much and was willing to go against her father to protect her even though her mom hasn’t listened to her the past.
its one of many reasons why merida is one of best disney princesses although she is also pixar
I really enjoyed this movie and I don't know why people like to hate on it. It's a beautiful story of a daughter's relationship with her mom. And it's so nice to see the parents have such a loving relationship. Like...I STAND THIS FILM!!
I just feel like it's two stories meshed together. Once the bear magic came in it kind of took away from the mother daughter plot line for me
people hate on this film?
@@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween oh really? For me personally, it felt like it tied things together much quicker because they learned how to see one another in a different light and put differences aside because they love one another. I totally get what you're saying though! To each their own! :)
Wait, someone hated on Brave?
I also love the fact that we finally got a princess movie.That wasn't married off to a prince in the end
omg thank you for translating what that guys son says I never understood growing up! 😂
Lmaooo, even I found him hard to understand later on, he has a very Northern Scottish accent, way way wayyyyy up the top of the country! Glad I could be of assistance
@@niallnochill once you translated it I could suddenly kinda understand it somehow, thank you so much :3
@@niallnochill Yeah i thought the joke was that he was incomprehensible lmao
@@felixhenson9926 Incomprehensible... Unless you're "in the know" ;)
Fortunately I've spent a wee bit of time with the Scottish, so I was able to pick up a fair bit of what he was saying lol
@@felixhenson9926That was the intention. But the actor who voiced him asked if he could use his first language, his dialect of Scottish. That turned out to be just as incomprehensible as they wanted but also perfectly welcome for the setting.
Bears were roaming Scotland and the whole of the isles till mid 1500's and are found decorating medieval tapestry, metal work, stone work and written documents.
As a very very curly girl, when I first saw a teaser for this movie, I *shrieked* out loud in the theatre when Merida pulled back her hood to reveal this CASCADE of curly hair.
I remember having an experience like that! (Another curly girl here.) lol!
Periodt! I practically dragged my mother to see Brave in theaters as a little girl. Similarly to Merida and Eleanor, I have big tightly curled hair and she has straight hair. We both loved it! :)
“Our fate lives within us. You only need to be brave enough to see it.” My high school senior quote.
Noice
The entire cast is Scottish, and they added true Scot touches to their lines during recording. Nobody was putting on their accents; all were authentic.
That's not 100% true... Julie Walters and Emma Thompson are not Scottish. I do know from seeing interviews that Emma Thompson's dad was Scottish so she had an immediate family member whose accent she grew up hearing. But I don't know if that same can be said about Julie Walters. But other than those two actresses - The rest of the cast is genuinely Scottish.
i wish they did the same for luca
I don't mind where their historic origins are or what the cast members are themselves. I'm just one of the few Hispanic cousins who understand enough of the unmentioned relationship details that no other large wide spread group really gives me the feeling of clear identity, my other relatives just help me with having clues of historic culture facts. But I love my Celtic cousins and Afro related cousins deeply enough to not let it hide at all. In my heart it's Celtic stories and old symbols plus the beautiful old art, and with Afro related people it's how groovy I instantly become hearing their widely shared music with various jazz rhythms. My American history pieces can take months to put together though, with it being so rare to find history books that really respect America.
25:52 It's just not fair making us fight for the hand of a girl who doesn't want a bit of it, you know?
Is what I've heard the translation is.
The fact that he heard Young McGuffin and IMMEDIATELY not only understood what he said but repeated it perfectly had me and my boyfriend with our mouths open 😂
25:45 "It's just not fair making us fight for a quine that does not want any part of it"
I saw it in a video once.
Edit: Thanks to the person who corrected the queen to quine
Honestly, out of all three dudes, that guy had the most promise.
@@a_bit_n00bish yup
I had a crush on him when I watched it and I was crossing my fingers, hoping she'd choose him. I couldn't understand him and yet he doesn't seem so annoying like that black-haired dude.
omg I was right!
I think in the original ending she actually did choose him
30:11 Sometimes I wish they'd kept their original plan - to see the wisp that the prince had become join three others who were waiting for him....see him reunite with his brothers....
Ooh. That would’ve been cool, and if they only showed 3 wisps at once the whole movie. And maybe some slight design variations to show it is only these 3 wisps. Meaning it was his brothers the whole time trying to find someone to release him.
Its nice to see an actual scottish person react. As an american i get tired of people just reacting to the doric in this like "wHys hE SpeAkInG GiBbErIsh" plus loved that you translated for us with less trained ears.
I agree
Mordu had 12 year old me shaking in my boots, I was terrified of him. Esp that one show where they made him quickly look at the camera
FACTS I screamed in the Theater when that happened.
Honestly he’s the stuff of nightmares for kids. I thought he was scary but I was never truly afraid of him somehow. And strangely, he helped me get over my irrational fear of a bear jumping through my window at night and eating me.
I had some very specific fears when I was in elementary school.
No because I literally had nightmares when I was young because of mordu and strangely enough those whispy things too
Merida is responsible for me choosing the character with the bow and arrow in every game possible, I was obsessed with this movie as a kid
I absolutely loved it when one of the suitor's clans were called the "McGuffins."
A McGuffin was old Hollywood film-making slang, made famous by Alfred Hitchcock.
A "McGuffin" was something that served no purpose in a film, other than to move the plot along to the next point.
Fun fact, young macguffin was the original love interest before they decided to go a different route - so there’s some meaning to the name there. 😂
I don’t understand the hate this movie got, it’s genuinely so beautiful and has the best vibes fr
idk what it was about this movie but me and my sister loved it SO much as kids we’d watch it all the time😭 also fun little fact: merida’s voice actress went to my highschool we still have a little plaque thing in the atrium for her
Yesss we love Kelly Macdonald in this house 🏴❤️
That’s so cool!
I don’t know much about Scotland but I just think it’s so sweet that so much of his movie resonates with him. Just goes to show how important representation is.
When I worked at Walt Disney World, one of the face actors playing Merida in the Festival of Fantasy Parade was actually Scottish and also a lesbian. We were work friends. She very easily pushed Merida up the ranks to top 3 favorite princesses in my mind. I miiiiight've had a huge crush on her lmao.
I totally read Merida as lesbian or ace, and the meme of her from Wreck-it Ralph 2 really only pushes that further. :D
@K.C-2049 definitely! It's open to interpretation for sure, I just leaned that way because I'm also an ace lesbian. :)
I would have too omg
as an aroace, we can in fact find love as well 😊 it's not mutually exclusive to people who aren't on the aro and ace spectrums. @K.C-2049
Back in 2016 I ended up being first in line to get a photo with the young woman who was playing as Merida for photo ops. It was honestly such a highlight of the trip for me because she grabbed my hand and walked me up to the photo area and chatted with me the whole time (and commented on my dress as it was pretty medieval-esque) and said something like "That dress looks like something my mother would pick out" it was one of the best photo ops I ever had with a Disney character!
Climbs mountains on days off + trained in weaponry + untamable hair + eats whole apples in less than 6 seconds = perfect aro/ace representation. Love Merida.
Arrow/ace
Yep, as an aro/ace, can confirm I will MURDER an apple in .02 seconds, especially if it's a Granny and I've got a jar of sea salt!
My mum was Scottish, im a redhead, this was the last film we saw together in the cinema before she passed, so this film means so much to me
I saw this when it first came out, too... which was not to long after my mom passed. When it got to that same part at the end that you cried at, Merida crying "I want you back" OMG I started sobbing in the theater. I wanted my mom back, too.
Fun fact, they made a new type of animation for merida's hair
These blue lights in the swamp are called "Irrlichte" in geman which means "light that leads astray" and you are warned to never follow them for they lead to the other world /death.
In reality they are gases from the wet ground which burn in a small flame when getting in contact with air. But it is allways better to not follow them, cause they don't lead a safe way necessarily.
And I love the scottish accent!
And in the Philippines they're called "santelmo"!
True and Thank You. I have a German grandfather and a Scandinavian great grandfather. But your statement is a lot like the Volcano facts in lots of Tuatha De Danaan details of what Caileach, Dagda and many others did separately and together to take care of the planet.
32:00 I still stand by my fan fantasy that in her day Elinor was the best horsewoman for miles around.
It would never be king fergus who had the horse man genes, he was clearly too large for riding a horse just like the Viking chief Rollo (gånge-rolf)
25:45 he says ‘it’s just nae fair making us fight for the hand of the quine that doesn’t want it yet’ he’s speaking Doric and ‘quine’ means girl ❤️❤️
See.............. that's close enough to old English to not confuse me but I had no clue it was Doric. just like how easily I can figure out some Spanish with other Celtic country words like Portugese and Italian language plus figuring out Brazilian words or really close languages too, but especially when the words look similar.
You're probably the only person I've seen actually notice the blonde guy was speaking an actual language and not just gibberish 😅 lol
(Ps: I don't understand a word he says, but I know he is speaking an actual language)
I could tell he was speaking for real, and I’m just a Yank. Then again, I’ve seen _Hot Fuzz,_ so I kind of know the trope. ;)
hes speaking english just with a gaelic accent
@@Rihannakassa - Yes. So was the farmer in _Hot Fuzz._ :)
The shipper in me likes to think that in the future Merida does have a relationship with the blonde prince w the heavier accent (idr his name soz). From what little we got to see of all of their personalities he seemed to be the most sensible in a way that I could see him knowing and understanding who Merida is (strengths, weakness’, and eccentricities a like) and appreciating them all rather than trying to change her into something she isn’t.
I think there’s a chance, too. 😊
@@ShinyAvalon He's a bit of an ugly duckling, but he's not hideous, and you're right about his personality and nature.
Plus...maybe he's hung.
Fun fact, young macguffin (Kevin mckidd’s character) was in fact her love interest in pre-production. The alternate ending with them (kinda sorta) is in the official art book.
I thought that too
Even though Young Dingwall was on the sweeter side, he just wouldn’t have been able to have the character to lead. That’s what I get from him. He wouldn’t be able to keep up with Merida.
With young McGuffin, it’s clear that he is good tempered, and treats Merida as an equal. And from what we’ve seen, he acknowledges and respects her feelings. And when Push comes to shove, I feel like he can DEFINITELY have to fight back if he had more experience leading the Clan as well.
Even though I liked how Merida at the end is not focused to have a guy at her side. Young McGuffin seems to be the best match for her as a love interest. She would teach him to be firm and fight back. He would be the calm after her storm.
My Mum and I took my nephew to watch this in the cinema, but he a little too young and was *SO* frightened by Mor'du in the beginning, he cried until we left. Even though Mum and I hardly ever fought, I'm really glad we sat down to watch this together before she passed suddenly a few years ago. She was definitely a Mama Bear, even when I'd fallen into traps of my own stupid making. Miss her every day ♡♡
3:24 No one usually sees it, but if you look closely, you can see Merida and Queen Elinor in the letters of the title. Merida is in the B and Elinor is in the E. And the circle Elinor is holding has 3 bear cubs in it, symbolizing Merida's triplet brothers.
The way I’m OBSESSED with Merida tearing her dress and metaphorically breaking the old traditions and her old relationship with her mother …. CINEMA 🤌🏻
Will-o-wisps are foundationally mischievous beings that consistently lead ppl to their deaths so i think its funny that merida just casually follows them throughout the movie😂
I love this film! Merida vying for her own hand is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a Disney film! The argument between her and her mom, I felt it when Merida said what she said when she ripped the tapestry and the mother realizing what the hurt she has caused by burning her bow. I feel that these two scenes at my core, the acting is just so good!
If you’re starting your Disney journey, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Hunchback and Tarzan are a must!!! The first two are critically underrated.
I am actually glad it's not your first time watching cause I would have said you should be ashamed. You know how fast my Hispanic ass rushed to watch Encanto. Also if u haven't seen it watch Encanto 😊
Ooooh, should I start my Disney movie journey on the Channel???👀
@@niallnochill YES!!!
@@niallnochillYESS
OH YESSS @@niallnochill
Man, Encanto made me bawl on like three times. One of my fav Pixar movies.
saw a Scottish ginger watching a story about a Scottish ginger lass, I'm all in!
Merida fighting her father, who is considered one of the strongest, to protect her mother, is my favorite part of this movie.
You had me at "Scottish!"
Something I find funny, is archery was actually considered a very lady like pursuit! It was exercise, but you could stand still to do it. There are bunches of examples of medieval art depicting women in floor length dresses wielding bows.
this film awakens my inner scottish pride any time i watch it. i strongly disliked how much people were disappointed by it and ripped into it. this was a passion project like none other
Its movie isn't on dvd up here but that's close to how I feel with the recent animated Koati film myself.
Holy crap!! You're literally the first reactor I've seen who understood what that bloke was talking about!!! Jaw. Dropped.
there's actually a little snippet after the credits where the witch's crow delivers all of merida's order
25:43 He said "it's just not fair making us fight for the hand of the queen who doesn't want any part of it" :))
It's just not fair to force a girl to be part of something she doesn't want to be so let's not argue about this princess and the future right now dad, is his key attitude at the moment.
31:10 "THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SCOTTISH 🗣💅🏴" LMFAOOOO the tears are so realll this entire video was so fun I had to subscribe 😭😭
I think this is the best reaction to Brave I've watched! First of all, your little facts on Scottish culture and language were just an amazing bonus (and woow I've never seen anyone even slightly understanding the kid and his strong accent, I had read I don't remember where that the voice actor intentionally made it very hard to understand so that was so great to hear somewhat of a translation). And just seeing you enjoy the Scottish part of the movie, that was so great to watch! Brave have been one of my favourite Disney since I've first seen it, the characters, the setting, the music, the story, everything is sooo great about it, so glad you loved it
little Merida and the lil cubs mean everything to me, they’re so damn cute 🥹🫶🏼 I’m so happy I came across your channel, you’re like the scottish version of Brad Evans and I’m OBSESSED✨
Thank you for giving us non-Scottish folk a translation of the blonde suitor with the ultra-thicc accent! I've been wondering for YEARS what he said- obviously I figured it was real, but without any knowledge of the dialect myself, it feels like learning a dead language without a teacher. So, again @niallnochill, thank you! Glad to see you enjoyed this film as much as I did- & there's no shame in crying. It's the power Disney holds regardless of its content lol.
Before reading the commment section I literally had no idea that Brave was disliked by some people?? That's so sad, I loved this movie to pieces growing up and now watching this reaction reminded me why I loved it so much
When I tell you the flashback sequence Merida has when she’s putting the pieces together about Mor’du gave me NIGHTMARES for WEEKS as a child, I legit still jump when the princes’ head snaps into Mor’du 😭😭 it’s a 10/10 movie though
This was my husband's favorite movie. He was a long, curly haired ginger. Our daughter is too. You saying not to trust them made me laugh. I trusted him more than anything in my life. He never did wrong by me
I loved this movie because I'm an archer and I never want to get married. Some people don't like this movie, but I'll never be one of them. Thanks for reacting to it!
Every time an arrow is shoot in slow motion, is pure poetry in motion
I absolutely love that they accurately showed the archer’s paradox in motion. I saw one reaction where the slow motion shot they were like “Ohh it’s wobbly!” I’m like, it’s supposed to be. That’s actually how it flys straight.
If you don't cry at Brave you've no heart. Best Disney film ever
When I first watched Brave with our daughter and the Mackintosh first appeared, had I been drinking something I would have spit it out…and as the show went on, uncovering his and his son’s special personalities? I called up my sister (yes, during the movie, we were watching it at home,) and told her, “OH, MY GOD, MICHELE! YOU HAVE TO WATCH BRAVE THIS INSTANT!”
She is single without children and asked me why I thought that. I just said, “I will pester you about this until you watch it. That’s a fact. And when you do, you will know EXACTLY WHY I insist that you watch it.”
She did watch it, and immediately called me while she was still watching it and said, “OH, MY GOD! KATHY! TTHE MACKINTOSH IS DAD!!!”😂😂😂💯 and, to be honest, his son was also perfectly descriptive of our dad…vain, highly competitive, short temper, explosive anger, dubious of everyone else’s intentions, basically narcissistic…
Ok…I am a U.S. American. My dad’s family were INSANE, and super proud of their Scots ancestry…I mean, my folks told me not to let my grandparents know that I was babysitting for a Campbell family in the 1980’s kind of insane…(not meaning to be disrespectful, just, why would I be talking to my grandparents about babysitting gigs? We lived 500 miles away from them.)
We just found out we're of Scottish descent, including Campbell of Argyll... I need to go back and watch this again!
Also, that horse is MASSIVE. this girl is riding stirrup-less through the woods, swerving around trees and jumping over logs without even holding onto the reigns, and still making accurate shots when this horse is like 20 hands. Insane.
I'm brazilian and I always loved this movie so much! It always resonated a lot w me and watching you explain stuff, give context in cultural/ language things I had no idea it made me love and appreciate the movie even more!
I loved the little scottish lessons! my ancestry is Celtic and French but my parents and I were born in America. I love learning things that I otherwise wouldn't in the form of entertainment! ❤❤❤
I agree, that's one of the main reasons I really enjoy learning how Spain is quietly tied to more than one Celtic Mama Land Theory if both Scotland and Ireland but has its own nearly forgotten Ancient Celtic Cities in several locations . Even if it isn't noticable to the crowds It's a great joy to be a Celtic relative. Celta Cuento De Princessa Merida Gracias Por La Pelicula.
This movie literally made me obsessed with Scotland, I'm literally not kidding. 😂Before, I didn't know anything about Scotland or any countries, but when this movie came out I fell in love. the aesthetics the plot and story in general Scotland is one of my favorite countries.It's a shame that it's an underrated Disney movie, not many people value it for what it really is, but it was so fun to watch this movie with you Greetings.😂🙌
I had a time I was watching anything and everything Scottish/with Scottish accents I could find. David Tennet shows up multiple times lol. There’s even a movie with David Tennet and the voice of Merida, where they are love interests.
Idk why people hate this movie so much, it's not flawless but it's not nearly as bad as everyone says, either. It has so much unique charm and genuinely hilarious jokes.
??????????? With this animated film of little known historic facts of Scotland it's more often historic words and less known phrases of expression that sound similar to slang here in America even though they're saying something serious to another character. Clearly part of this fun film's viewer issues is many aren't patient about figuring out what a cartoon is actually trying to say throughout the movie.
This movie always makes me cry. It reminds me of the arguments and good times I’ve had with my own mom. Especially the scene where she says “I’ll always be right here.” 😢😊
Brave is one of the last genuinely great Disney films, and one of my personal favorites.
Greetings from Mexico! ❤
Have you seen Onward?
I absolutely love your pure excitement while watching this, made the reaction like ten times better, and made me smile through the whole video
I only just discovered your channel today. This video popped up in my suggested videos & since "Brave" is one of my favorite movies, I clicked on it. I am a ginger of Scottish ancestry with long crazy hair & I used to shoot a lovely recurve bow back in the day, so I've always related to Merida. I am so glad I stumbled on this video - you are adorable! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Now, I'm going to go watch "Brave" myself. Have a bonny day!
The European brown bear was present in Scotland until around the 10th century but hunting and habitat loss led to its extinction. The last known Scottish brown bear was killed in the 9th century, and the species was officially declared extinct in Scotland in the 10th century. So there were definitely more kinds of bears than the current ones present if you go back far enough lol
You are the first one who was able to give us a translation for the blondie, thank you very much! 🤣🤣🤣
as a fellow scot this is genuinely my favourite movie, makes me cry every time
I’m Australian but man Idek how to explain it. The energy this movie gives you at times, particularly with the soundtrack, like it just makes me appreciate Scottish culture even more and I completely understand how you’d feel patriotic watching this as a Scottish person.
3:44 There are no bears in scotland... anymore.
You tearing up at this film is so real lmao
This movie never ever fails to make me sob, it's so good; having always had an up-and-down relationship with my mother, especially when I was younger, it hits incredibly close to home
I LOVE BRAVE!! I'm of Mexican descent, short brown girl, so whenever I get into a conversation of my favorite Disney princess, people always assume one of the darker skinned ones but NAH, Merida is my FUCKING FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCESS!! Her story and just her as a character I really connect with. So I loved how you reacted to this with so much enthusiasm.
I am not even Scottish and I cried at the end. I have adopted Merida as my favorite princess, Brave is such a fun movie to watch hands down!
The editing of this video is prime! Instant subscribe.
My moms friend had a part in making this movie so it holds such a special place in my heart
I love the voice actress of Merida. I also loved her in Decoy Bride with David Tennant. Crying with you at the end.
I LOVE THE DECOY BRIDE!! So many people I talk to about it have never ever heard of it! Genuinely one of my top favorite movies.
"I can see my hoose from here!" is my favourite line in the whole movie. Genuinely cried with laughter the first time I saw Brave 😭😭😭
I delight the aspects of Scottish culture in Brave, the theme of the movie, that one kid who speaks a dialect called Doric which I hardly understand, Merida is a bold princess herself
I love that the witch in the woods was also Ma Weasley. No wonder she's so good at sorting out parent-child relationships. I forgot how much I loved this movie.
✨she’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment✨
Every time I watch Merida's speech to her mom, from the first time in the theaters to just now in your video, I cry. I had seen it alongside my mom and sister in the theater, and at the end my sister and I both hugged our mom.
14:43 my fucking water went up my nose I laughed so hard omfg 😭😭
It makes me so happy watching someone get excited over this film
your reaction was cinema!!!!!! and the part when you "translated" what the prince said was actually SO COOL ❤
Scottish accents sound awesome! I just love accents in general. They’re so cool!
I've been thinking: could those little blue lights actually be the spirits of soldiers from the ancient kingdom? Guiding Merida on a path that could free them or their prince. I don't know.
Those early time wisps can be several things today. Bright Will of the Wisps whch scientifically are wisps from gas under Earth's ground, Lit up Fae flying like they do in Fern Gully's movie, Sidhe/ Sith/ Hada/ Fada gliding in the forest, dwarf sized ghosts, maybe spirits of creatures considered a guardian of the wilderness in several countries including some of the less known water spirits, or even a spirit of a shorter dragon.
Honestly this is one of my fav films, i do remember crying watching it first time round
I AM 17 SECONDS INTO THIS VIDEO AND I ALREADY LOVE THIS GUY'S ENERGY 😭✋When I tell you I exited fullscreen and immediately subscribed.
This is the best movie reaction I've ever seen.
Brave is literally my favorite Disney/Pixar film of all time. Such a shame its so underrated 🥺
Bro/Queen, ( sorry, new here so dont know what pronouns you go by) Brave is my childhood. im not scottish but i am half irish. i remember thinking she was irish like me but found out in my teen years after watching this movie that she was scottish! She literally sent me through the whole Outlander show and love for everything scottish cause i love Merida so much!
fun fact: even while watching this video i was able to quote every single line by heart and i havent even watched Brave for years now.
You translating and helping explain some of the stuff gave me joy! Wouldve loved having a scottish friend explaining my " dumb" questions since i was genuinely curious about a lot of things.
ok, i'll go now! sorry for the random rant!
You and Welchy both have the best reactions to this movie.
It's probably because you're both Scottish, but my point still stands.
Would like to see a collab of them
I dont know how exaggerated some of the vas may have made it but fun fact the vast majority of the voice actors are actually scottish in the movie, it's great.
This fills me with joy, being Glaswegian, its like a tick for me, reciting this entire movie. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
