The Brave movie presents an epic adventure story in a culturally and visually rich setting that will captivate audiences of all ages. The movie contains some perilous scenes that could be very frightening for young children
The Violence (Extreme): The Brave contains both comical, slapstick violence - such as brawling lords fighting with weapons; tweaking each others noses, ears and chests; headbutting each other, and more - as well as scenes with intense peril that could be frightening to young children. Most of these intense scenes involve snarling, growling black bears that attack ferociously. While we do not see anyone get terribly injured or killed in the movie, we are told that the demon bear bit off King Fergus' leg. Children may be very frightened or worried for characters who are being attacked by the bears, or by the angry mob of weapon wielding men who attack without realizing they are attacking a disguised loved one.
Scary Scenes (High): See scenes listed under 'violence'. Kids may also be slightly frightened or unsettled by the mystical, magical scenes in which Merida follows the ghostly wisps or encounters the explosive potion-making witch.
Nudity (Medium): The movie contains a couple of scenes where men or children's bear bottoms are shown (all played for laughs). One lord moons his fellow lords (we only see this from the front, so nothing explicit is shown. When King Fergus realizes that his wife is naked under a blanket, he stares at her for a minute and then tells the other people around to avert their eyes. The queen and king kiss, which is gross in the opinion of their daughter.
Drugs and Alcohol (Low) There is a discussion about raiding the King's cellar, and he indicates everyone should only get a small glass. We assume for some sort of alcoholic beverage, but that is never stated or shown.
Language (Low): A few insulting words or phrases like 'shut it!' are used. Many of the insults use Scottish terms that most kids would be unfamiliar with.
Disrespectful/Imitative Behavior (Extreme): The triplet brothers play pranks such as tying their father's shoe to the table leg and cutting a dozing guys mustache. They also gobble down as many sweets as they can steal. Merida yells and screams at her mother. She goes off into the woods on her own and consults a witch who performs all sorts of magic. The lords and their clans break into brawls over every disagreement. Kids may try to imitate some of the sword fighting and other use of weapons such as spears and bow and arrows.
Unsettling Scenes (High): Merida and her mother get into some pretty intense fights, but scenes where they are struggling or it seems they may lose each other are sad and could be disturbing to children.
