Ratatouille followed a similar arc, but they brought on Brad Bird who oozes genius out of his ears. So they brought on Mark Andrews pretty late in production to clean up the mess. At some point Pixar decided that whatever direction it was heading towards, it needed someone else to steer the ship. Brenda Chapman was the director of this film at it's inception to about halfway through production.

Brave started out it's life as "The Bear and the Bow". Maudie is seen at the end of the film being flirted by the huge warrior and waving goodbye to the lords.Here's what you may not know about "Brave", as it seems no one on r/movies has been mentioning it. Merida then asks her brothers (who have been turned into bear cubs from eating the cursed cake) to get the key back, and they pursued Maudie to a room where they managed to surround her, so one of the bear cubs would surprise her from above by diving into her top for the key. Maudie feels conflicted about whether to help or not and finally decides to obey Fergus' orders, and she quickly conceals the key in her cleavage. Merida then shouts for Maudie to let her out. The triplets see two people calming Maudie and scares her with a raw chicken on a stick, watching Maudie run screaming for the third time.Īfter Fergus locked Merida in the tapestry room to "protect" her from the bear version of Elinor (not realizing that the bear is his wife), he gives Maudie the key for safekeeping. Maudie reappears in the scenes when Queen Elinor (who has now turned into a bear) frightens her with her appearance. As she chases them, she trips and falls to the ground. She lays the plate of tarts down on a barrel (where the boys are hidden) and is surprised when both the tarts and barrel run away from her. She later appears at the Highland Games, where the triplets steal the tarts from her again. Maudie reappears, carrying a tray of envelopes to the dining room, and gives them to Queen Elinor. Maudie is completely surprised as the triplets run away from the castle with the tarts. Harris pulls the plate of tarts from her hands and replaces them with a flower vase. Maudie is first seen at the beginning of the film carrying a plate of tarts down the hall, with the triplets snatching them from her one by one. She is the nursemaid of Harris, Hubert, and Hamish. Active Source Maudie is a minor character from the 2012 Disney/ Pixar animated film, Brave.
