Merida, Focused and Ready to Fire coloring page

About this coloring page

Merida ready to shoot has the same fierce spirit as the land she comes from. Brave is set in the Scottish Highlands, a region of rugged mountains, green glens, deep lochs and misty forests.

The movie is packed with nods to Scottish culture. The clans that arrive at the castle, led by Lords MacGuffin, Macintosh and Dingwall, echo the powerful families who ruled the Highlands centuries ago. Characters wear tartan, the plaid fabric each clan wore in its own colors, and bagpipes fill the soundtrack.

Local legends show up too. Merida stumbles onto a ring of standing stones much like the ones that still dot Scotland, raised thousands of years ago. There she sees will o' the wisps, tiny blue lights that folklore says lead people toward their fate.

The story also features a witch hidden in the woods and a spell that turns Queen Elinor into a bear. Merida has to undo the damage she caused, and to do it she has to learn to really listen to her mom. Brave blends scenery, myth and family drama into one adventure.
