Although there are no product placements in the movie, there's a ton of Brave merchandise available, particularly aimed at girls. There's no romance for Princess Merida, but you can expect a few jokes about men being naked under their kilts a couple of scenes even include quick glimpses of naked cartoon bums belonging to men and three young boys. StarringJodie Foster Terrence Howard Nicky Katt Naveen Andrews Mary Steenburgen. The first Pixar movie to revolve around a female main character, Brave does have a strong message about family relationships and open communication between parents and kids (particularly mothers and daughters). Jodie Foster stars as a New York City radio host who witnesses the murder of her fianc and snaps, becoming an urban legend out to kill the culprits. There's also a lot of brawling among the Scotsmen, who use both weapons (arrows, swords, etc.) and their bodies (fists, teeth) on each other. A moment when the mom-turned-bear temporarily forgets she's human and growls at her daughter could upset younger kids. Several intense sequences involve a large angry bear that attacks the main characters - which are even more so when seen in 3-D - and (possible spoiler alert) a possibly disturbing but mostly comical transformation of a mother into a bear. Parents need to know that Brave is pretty scary for a "princess movie," especially for kids under 7 and/or those who are very sensitive to peril.
