Now Disney are said to be planning a sequel to the fairytale cartoon which could give another welcome shot in the arm to the Angus tourism sector.
Kevin McKidd said he wanted the follow-up to have a happy ending with a royal wedding.
He said: “I feel bad for young MacGuffin that he didn’t get the girl, but it may be in the sequel. Young MacGuffin, even though he can’t be understood by anyone, his heart is in the right place. He’s very sincere. He’s kind of socially awkward and shy, but he would be the right pick for Merida. At one point in the second year it was on the cards that Merida was going to pick him and that she saw in him something that she really liked, and they were going to walk off into the sunset at the end of the movie, but then that all changed.”
Yeah, they mention that was considered in one of the Blu-Ray bonus features.
But, yeah, every time one of the voice actors mentions a sequel, it's always a false claim. Plus, notice the interview says he "wants" a sequel. So, yeah. McKidd has been saying since the summer that Merida ends up with his character. Obviously, he left the premiere before the last scene of the movie.

I wouldn't be taken aback if they were working on a sequel, considering they've made unnecessary sequels before and even sequels to lesser films than Brave. Not sure what story they could tell that would be interesting (even the original couldn't manage that), but I wouldn't put it past them.
Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ "Elizabeth Taylor"
Katy Perry ~ "bandaid"
Meghan Trainor ~ "Still Don't Care"
No, there is no need for this. I'm sure there stories that could be told with the characters; of this I have no doubt....but there is no public calling for one. I dont think audiences took the film or characters to their hearts as they could have done.
^Agreed. Disney/Pixar should have at least one token heroine who doesn't have a romantic interest (besides their little girls like Alice). I personally don't have any interest in seeing another story about Merida & Co. My main interest in Brave is the mother-daughter relationship and the fact that Merida has no love interest. A second movie focusing on Merida and love interest would kinda ruin it for me.
The director of Oscar-winning Disney/Pixar movie Brave has said that if the right story was found, the cast and characters of the animated movie could re-assemble for a sequel.
Andrews said: "If I get the right story it would be fun. Get the gang back together again, add a few more new characters, find out what Scottish talents are out there who have yet to do an animated film and may want to – that would be fun. We never make a film at Pixar to have a sequel but it’s always nice when we do. We have the philosophy that if we have the right story, then we will, surely. The marketing and success of Brave says that you can have one and they will come. Make it and they will come. But whether we are going to or not I don't know, but it would be fun to do another one."
Luckily it sounds like someone just asked Mark Andrews about a potential sequel and he answered the question without giving a 'yes' or a 'no', because that's how these questions are handled. I don't think a sequel is on the cards as the article suggests.
And to be honest, Brave didn't make enough money in order to justify a sequel. It performed very poorly overseas for a PIXAR feature. Ralph is even catching up to it overseas, so that is much more likely to get a sequel because it was a critical and commercial darling, unlike Brave.
Andrews said: “If we got the right story it would be fun - to get the gang back together again, add a few more new characters and find out what other Scottish talents are out there that might want to do a animated fun."
Well, if they should make a sequel, they should at least have a story and a solid one. Sorry, but I'm one of those who thought "Brave" was storywise pretty weak and thin.
A SEQUEL to the blockbuster Disney-Pixar movie Brave is on the cards - once the film-makers find a good enough storyline.
The Oscar-winning director of the film set in the Scottish Highlands signalled a follow-up was likely thanks to the success and marketing campaign which came out of last year’s fantasy adventure.
