  *FUN FACTS

Brave: Under lock and key!

WIN!  an official Brave merchandise pack

To celebrate the release of Disney Pixar’s  Brave, which comes to cinemas 13 August 2012, we're giving you intimate access to lead character Merida, with some spectacular FUN FACTS. Not only that, we've got FIVE official Brave goody bags to give away! They're jam-packed with official merchandise including a metal key chain, stationary set, messenger bag and watch. 

Just tell us, what is the name of the flame haired, headstrong princess in Brave?

a)     Merida

b)     Ariel

c)     Aurora

 Email your answers to gogirlmag@euk.egmont.com with the subject heading BRAVEonline with your name, age and address in the email. Competition closes 25 August 2012.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

•           Competition open to UK residents only

•           Offer is not-transferrable and no cash equivalent will be given      

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale is told when the courageous Merida confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

 

Magical costumes

With five dresses, plus a cloak, necklace and torn

dresses, lead character Merida, has a total of 22 costume

changes!

Earthy auburn locks

Merida has five different hair styles in the film and, if her

curls were straightened, her hair would be four feet long

and reach the middle of her calf.

Regal attire

Merida’s formal dress was tailored to be tightly fitted 

and constricting with stiffer fabric, to show Queen 

Elinor’s controlling influence on her. The hem is 

decorated with  beads and jewels.

In a house...no she lives in a castle! 

No Pixar film before Brave has had a castle in it, so the
 
DunBroch castle had to be designed from scratch. 

Everything from the architecture of the structure itself to 

the tapestries on the walls was designed and built as 3D 

models in a computer.

Doric

Merida is from the Scottish Highlands and Doric is a regional dialect often spoken by people who live there. Lord MacGuffin, a character in the film, speaks Doric (and it's very tricky to understand him!). 

Attitude

Merida has a strong spirit and a good heart. She fights for her own freedom and independence.
