About Brave

Set against the backdrop of the mystical Scottish Highlands, Brave introduces us to Mrida, the spirited princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An expert archer with an independent spirit, Mrida's defiance of an age-old custom throws the kingdom into disarray. Determined to right her wrong, she seeks the help of an eccentric Wise Woman, only to be granted a fateful wish with unforeseen consequences. Comic relief arrives in the form of the kingdom's three lords: the imposing Lord MacGuffin, the grumpy Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall, each adding their own unique brand of humor and chaos to Mrida's quest.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.
