Disney Pixar Brave - Family Legend Trailer

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. 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, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch 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.

Echo McCool - Megan O'Leary Review

I’m something of a Youtube addict and lately I’ve been checking out the many trailers for the up and coming Disney/Pixar movie “Brave.” The internet is already awash with iconic pictures of the courageous red-headed Princess Merida, the lead character in “Brave.” However I can see parallels between her and Echo McCool, another valiant red-haired girl character. This said, Echo is a time traveller and has other magical gifts such as her ability to see snatches of the past. I’m sure we’ll see “Brave” setting the trend for fearless girl heroines so this summer is set to be a treat for fans of Princess Merida and Echo McCool alike.

Echo McCool - Thu Barton Review

The character of Echo McCool reminds me very much of the Princess Merida character in the Disney Pixar film BRAVE. Both are feisty and strong and red-haired and grew up in a British folklore world. Echo McCool was first published in January 2011 but Pixar must've been working on Princess Merida for a long time so I'm not sure which came first - but both are totally awesome!  Thu Barton's Review on Goodreads
