Later, during Merida's speech to the Lords about letting their children decide their own fate, Young MacGuffin admitted to his father how unfair he thought the engagement competition was to them and Merida. He had dinner with Merida's two other suitors, Young Macintosh and Wee Dingwall, but excused himself to join King Fergus' bear-hunt through the castle. During his introduction, he proved his strength by snapping a log with his bare hands, but it was clear that he was uncomfortable being in front of an audience. He speaks in an uncommon Scottish dialect that is incomprehensible to most, so his father must reiterate on his behalf.Īs the oldest son of Lord MacGuffin, Young MacGuffin became one of the three suitors for Princess Merida. He panics, says he only stopped by for water, and runs out of the cottage.Despite his great size and greater strength, Young MacGuffin is a calm, gentle, and very shy lad. The witch ends the story here, and she offers the spell in the form of a cake to the guest, who turns out to be Wee Dingwall.
Doomed to his bestial form because of his actions, the prince - now known as the "Great Black", "Mor'du" - wandered the land endlessly, killing and instilling terror wherever he roamed, his once human consciousness and intelligence now overwritten by animalistic bloodlust. Enraged by his former men turning against him, he attacked and killed many of them, with the few survivors fleeing the kingdom in terror the decimation of the armies of the brothers in turn leading to the kingdom's collapse. He then tried to get his army to rule the kingdom, but they saw him as a wild beast and attacked him in fear. However, instead of choosing to "mend the bond torn by pride" (which would have broken the spell), out of his desire for power the prince accepted his new form and killed his brothers. When his brothers protested, the prince in response drank the spell, which gave him the strength he desired but, to his surprise, turned him into a great black bear. When the prince brought his brothers before him by staging up a false truce, he again claimed his kingdom. Hoping to turn the tide of the war to his favor, the prince persuaded the witch to make a spell that would give him the strength of ten men by offering her his signet ring, and she gave him the spell in a drinking horn but, having seen darkness in his heart, warns him of making a choice: either to fulfill his dark wish or heal the family bonds he had broken. From there, the will-o'-the-wisps guided him to the edge of a dark loch, the witch's cottage standing far from the shore. In looking for a way to change his fate, the prince came across a menhir ring within the woods. His words turned to war, forever changing the kingdom's fate.Įven though the prince had a powerful army under his command, he and his brothers constantly fought to a stalemate. However, feeling disgraced and filled with greed and selfishness, the eldest son refused to accept this, proving his claim as the sole heir in front of his brothers by using one of his axes to break his image away from their family stone. When the king died one autumn, rather than giving the eldest all the inheritance, he divided the kingdom among all of his sons equally, believing their kingdom could prosper through the brothers' unity. The king's eldest was strong, but he mistook strength for character. Of the younger three, the youngest was wise, the third was compassionate, and the second was just. The man had been the eldest of four sons of the wise and much-beloved king of an ancient kingdom, each of whom had his own gift. When her crow suggests the bear spell, she tells the story of the prince who became the demon bear Mor'du.
The story begins with the witch inviting a guest into her cottage and offering them several spells. The film combines traditional animation and computer animation. It gives in-depth background about the film's villain, an evil, greedy prince as told by the eccentric witch who transformed him into the monstrous bear that he is in the film. The Legend of Mor'du is a 2012 Pixar short attached to the Blu-ray and DVD release of Brave.
