Because if Merida does not make a stand here, she is going to be a doormat for the rest of her life. Careless, maybe(like nobody ever learned anything from 'Macbeth' concerning witches in Scotland) but not selfish. Even worse is how the movie harps on Merida's so-called selfishness. Watch great series like Game of Thrones, Handmaids Tale and Letterkenny. But at the same time, Pixar's DNA commingling with Disney's is taking shape, and it's not entirely pretty, as there are also anachronistic silliness and minor vulgarities here. With the entertaining 'Brave,' Pixar's winning streak of high quality animation continues. All of whom she promptly embarrasses with her superior bow skills, before getting in an argument with her mother and then running away into the forest where she comes across a witch minding her business.

But as a princess, she has certain responsibilities that her younger brothers do not, like presiding over a competition of three suitors for her hand in marriage. In 'Brave,' Merida would like nothing more than to run around with her bow and arrow all day.
