   - Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus
   (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her
   own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious
   lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), surly Lord
   Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Robbie
   Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the
   kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (Julie Walters) for
   help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to
   discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse
   before it's too late. A Disney/Pixar film!
