Brave 2 is unlikely to happen due to Pixar's lack of interest in sequels and the absence of a compelling new direction for the franchise. The self-contained story of Brave, with its focus on mother-daughter relationships, would be difficult to expand upon without ruining the original film's impact.
She wanted her freedom and her independence, not to be married off to a nobleman. Merida was only 16 years old in Brave, so it made sense why she had no real interest in getting married anytime soon.
Brave is an original story by writer and director Brenda Chapman. Though she was canned from the project and replaced by Mark Andrews, he mostly just polished up the details and got the project on a faster timeline.
Summary. Brave 2 is unlikely to happen due to Pixar's lack of interest in sequels and the absence of a compelling new direction for the franchise. The self-contained story of Brave, with its focus on mother-daughter relationships, would be difficult to expand upon without ruining the original film's impact.

Who did Merida marry?
Young MacGuffin was to be the suitor that Merida chooses in the initial version of the film (hence his name), but this idea was later changed. In the final version, it's explicitly stated that Merida does not want to marry at all, and ultimately remains single by the end of the film.
Disney has not announced any live-action adaption of Brave, which tells the story of Princess Merida. A live-action Merida did appear, however, as a recurring character on the television show Once Upon a Time. She was portrayed by Amy Manson.
Disney first announced its live-action “Bambi” adaptation in 2020, with Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Lindsey Beer set to write the script. Depth of Field production company was attached to produce.
They don't want anyone else to make money off their characters, understandably, so now, they must renew the copyright. To create a new copyright, they need to reuse those original characters, so Disney is remaking the old films as live action films. However, many fans question the need for them.
So even though the falls don't exist in Scotland itself, they are based on a real place. A recurring landmark seen in Brave is particular circle of rocks located in the woods around Merida's castle. The rock formation is formally called a stone circle.
For Brave, Pixar created three tartans for three clans while using the real Clan Mackintosh tartan for the Macintoshes in the movie. Pixar registered the DunBroch tartan with the official Scottish Register of Tartans. It wasn't the first time. Apparently, in the 1940s, Disney registered the tartan for…
DunBroch from Brave was inspired by two castles in Scotland: Eilean Donan and Dunnottar Castle. While the animation clearly mirrors the real structures—the stone facade and horizontal profile, in particular—there are some irregularities.
Pete is the oldest continuing Disney character, having debuted in the cartoon Alice Solves the Puzzle in 1925. He originally bore the appearance of an anthropomorphic bear, but with the advent of Mickey in 1928, he was defined as a cat.
However, the film's creators claimed that Young MacGuffin was going to be Merida's love interest (and Merida seemed to express an interest in him during the presentation of the suitors) before ultimately deciding that Merida should stay single.
In Walt Disney Animation Studios' all-new epic animated musical, Moana 2, three years since her first voyage, Moana is on an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui. Moana 2 opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.
The live action Moana remake will be coming to cinemas globally on 10 July, 2026. It was originally slated for release in 2025, but has been pushed back a year, putting some distance between the live action version, and the animated sequel.
While no plans for a Big Hero Six sequel exist, Conli revealed that he “always secretly urge[s]” original co-director Don Hall to return to the property. However, he suggested any such move would rely on Hall's involvement, given he was responsible for the initial concept.
Snow White is only 14 years old, making her the youngest. Jasmine, who is supposed to be 15, is the second youngest. Cinderella and Tiana are the oldest, both 19 years old.
According to production notes, Ariel is described as a "spirited 18-year-old" (via Yahoo!). This change of age is likely to avoid criticism surrounding Ariel's hasty marriage to Prince Eric in the animated version and make 23-year-old Halle Bailey more believable in the role.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, the film tells the story of Princess Merida of DunBroch (Macdonald) who defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in the kingdom by expressing the desire not to be betrothed.
