He then tried to command his army, but due to his unrecognizable new appearance, 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 his wounded soul, 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, with a cottage standing far from the shore wherein the witch lived. Whilst 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 as the brothers turned against each other.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 he soon declared his claim as sole ruler in front of his brothers and demanded their obedience, breaking 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.
