Trivia:
Reese Witherspoon was originally announced as the voice of Princess Merida, but due to scheduling conflicts that prevented her from taking the role, Kelly Macdonald replaced her.
This is the first Pixar-produced film to have a female protagonist and Princess Merida is also the first Pixar character to be included in the Disney Princess line.
The original title of the film was "The Bear and the Bow".
It took six years to make this film, where Mark Andrews was initially the consultant, providing the Scottish themes for Brenda Chapman.
The misunderstood dialect that Young MacGuffin speaks is called 'Doric' and was spoken in northeastern Scotland including Kevin McKidd's hometown of Elgin.
Brenda Chapman had based 'Merida' on teh character of her own daughter while Elinor was loosely based on herself.
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.
The belt that Queen Elinor wears in the first half of the movie forms a hidden Mickey when viewed from the front. You can see the distinct Mickey head and the two ears as connecting circles around her waist.
Pixar movie-makers created the family tapestry using a technology that allowed them to create billions of individual threads.
Kevin McKidd was particularly happy to work on this project because it was the first time in years that he'd been able to use his natural Scottish accent in a film.
Kelly MacDonald was in her thirties when she voiced the teenage Merida.
