It' s not so easy being a princess, or at least not for Merida, |
| [00:04.21] |
who would rather practice archery than learn to curtesy. |
| [00:08.05] |
To find out how this princess' s one wish could change her kingdom forever. |
| [00:12.55] |
Let' s begin now. |
| [00:17.30] |
Some say the destiny is tied to the land, as much as us as we are bet we are of it |
| [00:24.86] |
but no one knows how we came to this land or when. |
| [00:30.57] |
Oly the people here are long time |
| [00:33.94] |
living in this land mistiness and cold, sun and rain and snow, |
| [00:40.03] |
people keep coming and going, barely leaving traces they' ve been here at all. |
| [00:46.29] |
A fierce proland filled with stories and magic and danger. |
| [00:56.08] |
A long time ago, their was a kingdom call Dun Broch, |
| [01:00.73] |
the kingdom was ruled by king Fergus who was strong and brave, |
| [01:04.91] |
and queen Elinor who was wise and fair. |
| [01:09.30] |
King Fergus has lost his leg when he fought with a demon bear named Mordu. |
| [01:14.25] |
The king swore that one day he would defeat the bear once for all. |
| [01:19.57] |
The king and queen had brought children |
| [01:22.42] |
Hamish, Hubert and Harris who were triplets. |
| [01:25.02] |
They always call this mischef and yet they never got a trouble, |
| [01:29.56] |
and then there was princess Merida. |
| [01:31.70] |
It seems that she could do nothing but getting trouble. |
| [01:36.63] |
Merida would be queen someday. |
| [01:38.71] |
And her mother wanted to make sure that she was prepared. |
| [01:43.40] |
A princess enjoys elegant pursuits, |
| [01:48.04] |
a princess laughts with her eyes, |
| [01:51.67] |
a princess must be knowledgeable about her kingdom, |
| [01:55.49] |
A princess did not talk while chewing food, |
| [01:58.68] |
or plays weapons on a dining table, |
| [02:01.20] |
or even have weapons when it' s a great openning. |
| [02:04.15] |
There were so many rules! |
| [02:07.67] |
Merida much prefer to put the full speed to the country to her horse angus, |
| [02:12.94] |
she loved archery and was very good at it. |
| [02:15.88] |
She liked to climb up the waterfalls, |
| [02:18.16] |
and she liked to yell just as loud as sheep at least. |
| [02:23.62] |
One evening , queen ordinarly see the messages from the clans from the Macintosh MacGuffin and Dingwall. |
| [02:30.42] |
She told Merida that three boys from each clan will compete a policy games, |
| [02:36.33] |
the princess would marry the winner. |
| [02:38.54] |
Merida was horrified, marriage! |
| [02:42.13] |
' I' ll not go through with it. You can' t make me !' |
| [02:44.62] |
She ran out of the room, |
| [02:47.05] |
queen Elinor followed Merida, |
| [02:49.80] |
she began a story about an ancient kingdom, |
| [02:52.12] |
whose king divided the land among his four sons, |
| [02:54.84] |
but one prince wanted to rule the land himself, |
| [02:58.52] |
he followed his own path and the kingdom fell apart. |
| [03:03.34] |
Merida rolled her eyes, ' that' s a nice sroty.' |
| [03:06.58] |
The queen looked at her daughter, |
| [03:09.30] |
' It' s not just a story, Merida, legends are lessons they ring with truth.' |
| [03:19.87] |
Despite Merida' s protest, the clans are left. |
| [03:22.44] |
The princess was allowed to decide their challenge. |
| [03:26.44] |
Merida had an idea,' I choose archery.' |
| [03:31.63] |
The queen threw her hands in the air, ' Let' s the game begin!' |
| [03:37.70] |
The clans competed in Tagorbore, hammer throw shinty and finally archery. |
| [03:44.62] |
Stalky young MacGuffin tried it first almost missing his target, |
| [03:49.88] |
and young Macintosh was slightly off center, |
| [03:53.46] |
but to everyone surprised, small wee Dingwall made a perfect shot. |
| [03:59.69] |
Then a held figure stepped out, |
| [04:03.14] |
' I am Merida, firstborn descendant in Dun Broch and I' ll be shooting for my own hands.' |
| [04:12.62] |
Queen Elinor grows from her seat,' Merida, I forbid it !' |
| [04:18.49] |
Merida began to aim, both aims, she hit the center of every target! |
| [04:24.91] |
Furiously queen Elinor took Merida into the castle, |
| [04:29.95] |
' I' ve just about have enough of you, lass, you embarrassed them, you embarrassed me ! ' |
| [04:34.66] |
Merida glared at her mother, ' This whole marriage is what you want, |
| [04:40.60] |
do you ever bother to ask what I want! I' m not going to be like you!' |
| [04:44.17] |
Merida turned to the family' s tapestry hanging on the wall |
| [04:48.83] |
and slashed it with her sword. Then she ran out of the castle. |
| [04:55.59] |
The princess raced through the woods on her horse . |
| [04:58.31] |
Suddenly Angus stopped short, Merida flew off and landed on the ground. |
| [05:04.71] |
She found herself inside a circle of stones where glowing blue lights flittered. |
| [05:10.36] |
Merida followed the lights through the woods until she saw a small cottage |
| [05:14.40] |
when she open the cottage door, she saw an old woman. |
| [05:18.33] |
Merida knew the woman was a witch and she beg for her spell, |
| [05:23.20] |
the witch said. |
| [05:24.77] |
She told Merida that long ago she had met a prince |
| [05:27.97] |
he demanded her to give him the strength of ten men. |
| [05:31.61] |
' And did he get what he was after?' |
| [05:33.80] |
The witch looked at Merida with narrowed eyes and nodded, |
| [05:37.96] |
' that was all that Merida need to know.' |
| [05:40.22] |
' That' s not I want, I want a spell that changes my mother, that' ll change my fate.' |
| [05:46.37] |
The witch began throwing things into a pot |
| [05:49.01] |
suddenly the combination was exploded. The witch pulled out a little cake. |
| [05:57.92] |
When Merida returned to the castle, her mother was relieved to see her, she hugged Merida, |
| [06:03.19] |
' I' ve been worried sick.' Merida was surprised, ' you were? ' |
| [06:07.65] |
' I didn' t where you' d gone or when you' d come back to, |
| [06:10.83] |
I didn' t know what to think |
| [06:12.85] |
of course we both know a decision still has to be made.' |
| [06:17.22] |
Merida frowned, she showed queen Elinor the cake.' It' s a peace offering.' |
| [06:23.37] |
The queen smiled and took a bite. |
| [06:26.14] |
And the two walked down the hallway, the queen stumbled ' oh, suddenly I' m not so well.' |
| [06:36.66] |
Merida let queen Elinor to her bedroom and took her mother in. |
| [06:40.84] |
After a few minutes, the queen rose from the bed, the sheet followed with her. |
| [06:46.73] |
And there, in front of Merida stood a ' Bear!' |
| [06:53.47] |
Queen Elinor looked at the mirror and roared, |
| [06:57.44] |
what has the spell done? What had Merida done? |
| [07:01.74] |
The queen roared even louder and ran out of the door. |
| [07:05.73] |
Merida chased after her,' what ' re you doing? Dad, the bear king? |
| [07:13.16] |
If he so much as sees you, you' re dead.' |
| [07:15.88] |
Queen Elinor stopped, Merida was right but they heard voices . |
| [07:22.81] |
They ran down the hallway and right into the triplets. |
| [07:25.96] |
With the boy' s help, Merida gets the queen out of the castle. |
| [07:29.28] |
Merida turned to her brothers |
| [07:31.63] |
' now, I' ll be back soon, go on and hep yourself to anything you want, as a reward.' |
| [07:37.43] |
The triplets were excited, they love sweets! |
| [07:41.00] |
Merida and queen Elinor race to the woods, |
| [07:44.35] |
they need to reverse the spell, but night has fallen, so they took shelter. |
| [07:50.75] |
Then next morning, Merida used her bow and arrow to catch fish, |
| [07:55.42] |
then she showed her mother how to catch them using her paws. |
| [07:58.53] |
For the first time and a while, |
| [08:00.78] |
Merida and her mother had fun together. |
| [08:05.62] |
When they finally found the witch' s cottage , |
| [08:08.13] |
no one was there, suddenly a message came from the witch' s container, it told them |
| [08:14.01] |
' Fate be changed, look inside, mend the bond, torn by pride.' |
| [08:22.14] |
Merida saw the same blue light she had seen the day before. |
| [08:25.17] |
She turned to her mother, ' They will show us the way.' |
| [08:30.32] |
Merida followed the light through a crumbling ruin, |
| [08:32.79] |
it was cold and eeriness. ' I have no idea what this place is.' |
| [08:38.37] |
Just then the ground gave way underneath the princess. |
| [08:43.68] |
She tumbled into an ancient throne room, |
| [08:46.88] |
there she saw a huge stone sculpture, four princes. |
| [08:51.88] |
She looked up to her mother who caring her above. |
| [08:55.11] |
' It' s supposed to the kingdom in that story you were telling me? |
| [08:59.69] |
The one with the princes.' |
| [09:02.26] |
Suddenly, Merida noticed that this door was broken before the fourth prince. |
| [09:08.44] |
She gasped, The prince in her mother' s story and the one in witch' s story were the same. ' |
| [09:15.40] |
' The spell. It' s happened before, |
| [09:19.81] |
Merida looked around, claws were gauged in walls, |
| [09:23.70] |
bones were scattered on floor.' Oh no, The prince became Mordu. |
| [09:33.20] |
Merida gasped and she turned and saw the evil bear behind her. |
| [09:39.46] |
The princess barely escaped Mordu. |
| [09:42.38] |
She and the queen ran through the woods and they do need to reverse the spell soon, |
| [09:47.65] |
she remember the voice from the container. |
| [09:50.83] |
' Mom, if we don' t hurry, you' ll be a bear forever. |
| [09:54.59] |
Let' s the outside become the inside. Like Mordu, |
| [09:59.61] |
mend the bond, torn by pride. We have to get back to the castle, |
| [10:04.77] |
I know what to do, it' s the tapestry.' |
| [10:10.97] |
On the castle, they found the clans in the middle of a huge battle. |
| [10:14.71] |
Lord MacGuffin was angry,' You' re the king, you decide which one of our sons your daughter will marry.' |
| [10:23.05] |
King Fergus struggled to his throne |
| [10:25.24] |
' None of your sons are fit to marry my daughter.' |
| [10:29.12] |
Lord Dingwall didn' t like that ' then our alliance is over. This means war!' |
| [10:36.24] |
Merida knew it' s up to her to stop the fight, |
| [10:39.00] |
it was her duty to choose who she marry. |
| [10:43.42] |
She took a deep breath and face the crowd. |
| [10:48.95] |
' Our clans were once enemies, |
| [10:50.61] |
but when invaders threatened us from the sea, |
| [10:53.58] |
you joined together to defend our lands! |
| [10:57.88] |
It was an alliance forged in bravery and friendship |
| [11:03.25] |
and it lives to this day. |
| [11:07.62] |
And I know that I need to amend my mistake and mend our bond |
| [11:13.64] |
I' ve decided to do what' s right.' |
| [11:18.43] |
But as Merida looked towards her mother who was hidden, |
| [11:21.56] |
she saw that the queen was shaking her head, |
| [11:24.59] |
she was telling Merida that she didn' t have to choose after all. |
| [11:29.93] |
Merida looked back to the crowd, |
| [11:32.68] |
' and , and |
| [11:36.57] |
break tradition. |
| [11:43.51] |
My mother, the queen feels in her heart |
| [11:49.66] |
that we be free to write our own story, |
| [11:57.40] |
follow our hearts and find love in our own time.' |
| [12:06.71] |
The king put the hand on her shoulder and smiled, |
| [12:10.03] |
' Just like your mom.' |
| [12:14.12] |
As the crowd cheer, |
| [12:15.90] |
Merida slipped out and took her mother to the tapestry room. |
| [12:19.60] |
Suddenly the king Fergus threw open the door, |
| [12:22.63] |
he saw his daughter with a bear. |
| [12:25.40] |
Merida had to protect her mother,' mom run !' |
| [12:28.94] |
As the queen raced out the castle, |
| [12:30.92] |
the clans were after her, they didn' t realize who she was. |
| [12:34.91] |
King Fergus locked Merida in the tapestry room to keep her safe, then rush to join the crew. |
| [12:40.84] |
Merida had to get out, |
| [12:42.65] |
her mother' s life depended on her. |
| [12:46.24] |
At that moment, the triplets appeared outside her door, |
| [12:50.27] |
only they looked a little different, |
| [12:53.36] |
they had finished all the spare cake and turned into bear cups. |
| [12:59.21] |
Quickly the cups help their sister escape. |
| [13:02.34] |
Merida grabed a needle and thread and the tapestry. |
| [13:06.07] |
She swiftly fell the top string together as Angus bounced through the woods . |
| [13:12.09] |
The hunting party call the queen and raise their swords . |
| [13:16.12] |
Queen Elinor roared and teffified, |
| [13:18.55] |
king Fergus raises his sword, |
| [13:21.31] |
but Merida bounds the woods and block the king,' I' ll not let you kill my mother.' |
| [13:28.04] |
Just then, a huge beast step out in the rain of stones, |
| [13:32.37] |
Merida gasped ' Mordu' |
| [13:35.83] |
King Fergus looked up to the bear, |
| [13:38.39] |
' kill it.' While the demon bear slapped the hunters fly, |
| [13:42.78] |
he tore the king Fergus into stones. |
| [13:46.36] |
Then he turned to Merida, |
| [13:49.54] |
queen Elinor ain' t allow what Mordu tend to do . |
| [13:52.72] |
The bears slashed each other, |
| [13:54.50] |
the queen came forward to charge a broken stone, |
| [13:58.23] |
the stone stumbled over, crashing the demon bear. |
| [14:07.28] |
Merida looked at her mother, she had finished mending the tapestry, |
| [14:11.72] |
but the queen was still a bear, |
| [14:14.99] |
' I don' t understand, oh mom, I' m sorry, this is all my fault, |
| [14:24.57] |
I want you back mom.' |
| [14:26.90] |
As Merida embraced her mother, |
| [14:29.37] |
morning light began to clip in and fill the rain of stones. |
| [14:33.19] |
Suddenly, Merida felt a human hand through her hair. |
| [14:38.24] |
Her mother wasn' t a bear any more! |
| [14:40.82] |
' Mom, you' re back !' |
| [14:43.69] |
' Perfect.' The queen smiled at her daughter. |
| [14:47.96] |
The triplets came running over, |
| [14:49.93] |
they were boys again! |
| [14:51.90] |
All was right in the kingdom of Dun Broch and the royal family hugged and laughed. |
| [14:57.24] |
Merida knew that from then on , |
| [14:59.42] |
she could be a princess and still be herself. |
