92% of the team has now reported in, and we have two new color changes - Tasha228 and 2manypets!!
(No new minutes yet for me today.)
And for day 15, we have - Merida:
"If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?"
"Our fate lives in us. You only have to be brave enough to see it."
"I am Merida, and I'll be shooting for my own hand. "
Some Brave Trivia from IMDb:
Merida is the first Pixar character to be included in the Disney Princess line.
Two additional software programs were specially developed for this film by Pixar in the period of three years. One of them allows simulation of Merida's 1500 strands of hair curls to move together with her movements.
While the surname MacIntosh (or McIntosh) is a common in Scotland, and the name of a well-known variety of apple, here it appears to be a reference to the Apple computer. Steve Jobs was a co-founder of Apple and played a big role in Pixar. The movie is dedicated to him at the end credits: "Dedicated to the memory of Steve Jobs, our partner, mentor and friend". Merida's repeatedly being interrupted while trying to eat an apple, which her mother considers unladylike, may also be a reference to the Apple logo: an apple with a single bite taken out.
Merida's name in Hebrew means "to rebel".
Castle DunBroch, where the family lives, translates to Castle Castle Castle.
None of the footage shown in the preview trailer is in the finished film.
The chess set in Merida's room is the famous Lewis Chessmen from the 12th century, unearthed in Scotland in 1831.
Merida is the first Disney princess to have brothers.
Kelly Macdonald (Merida/Helena Ravenclaw), Robbie Coltrane (Lord Dingwall/Hagrid), Emma Thompson (Elinor/Professor Trelawney), and Julie Walters (The Witch/Molly Weasley) all have roles in both Brave and the Harry Potter movies.
Pixar's trademark "A113" can be seen carved in Roman Numerals in the Witch's Hut.
Keep up the great work, everyone!!
