![]() Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). “Brave” follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). From Disney and Pixar, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate. Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. There’s a duality to them, because they’re either good or evil-they lead Merida into more and more trouble, but in the end, they’ve led her exactly where she needs to go.” They’re almost like Marley’s ghost in a way, because Marley’s ghost isn’t an evil spirit-even though he’s frightening, he’s trying to warn Ebenezer to change his ways. ![]() We made the wisps like actual little spirits. People would follow these lights thinking they were little fairies, and basically drown or get sucked down into the bogs. They were said to lead you to treasure or doom-to change your fate-but they’re an actual phenomenon of swamp and bog gas seeping up through the earth and interacting with the natural resources to create the blue flames. ![]() “The will o’ the wisps are in a lot of Scottish folktales. This is Andrew's full statement on the wisps: Yet no matter how long or how fervently they follow, they never quite touch the beautiful beacons whose flickering lights eventually fade and disappear… leaving the inquisitors, the dreamers and the treasure seekers lost… and alone. It is said-though by whom is a bit of a mystery-that on certain days for certain travelers in certain parts of the world, little lights dance on the horizon, whispering tempting invitations… pledging the answers to lifelong questions, the realization of dreams, a key to secret treasures-a change of fate.Ĭharmed and curious, unsuspecting travelers follow the floating lights, mesmerized by their whispers, their promises. Travelers-particularly those who venture out after sunset on unfamiliar pathways-beware of the will o’ the wisps. We also have a very clear look at the Witch (voiced by Julie Walters) along with detailed character descriptions, all after the jump. Our look at the wisps is just a glimpse (which given their nature may be all we get), but the design is lovely. People would follow these lights thinking they were little fairies, and basically drown or get sucked down into the bogs." "They were said to lead you to treasure or doom-to change your fate-but they’re an actual phenomenon of swamp and bog gas seeping up through the earth and interacting with the natural resources to create the blue flames. Director Mark Andrews explains the spectral creatures: So I am proud to share images of what looks to be one of the more fantastical elements of the movie, the wisps. In the void between Game of Thronesseasons, on the heels of the evocative yet unsatisfying Snow White and the Huntsman-I can't wait to see what Pixar can do with the epic fantasy.
