Brave is Pixar's first film with a female lead

Brave is Pixar's first film with a female lead. Director Brenda Chapman created the story inspired by her own daughter, but left the project during production. Mark Andrews took over as director and finished the film. The production team spent three weeks in Scotland to research the local culture, landscape and costume. This helped to create an authentic and detailed vision of medieval Scotland in the film.
