Merida has exactly two days to reverse the charm. Luckily, the magic spell comes with an escape clause. Witches never know how to stop when they're ahead. She begs for a magic spell that will change Queen Elinor's mind, but it changes more than that: It turns Elinor into a bear. Merida leaps upon her trusty steed and flees into the forest, where her friends the will-o-the-wisps lead her to the cottage of a gnarled old witch ( Julie Walters). Nothing doing, especially since all three candidates are doofuses. Then we flash forward to Merida as a young lady of marriageable age, who is startled by request from Queen Elinor ( Emma Thompson) to choose among three possible husbands chosen by her clan. As a result, it can be easy to lose track of all of the sequels projects that are coming out and which popular stories aren’t quite finished.The princess is Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), seen in an action-packed prologue as a flame-haired Scottish tomboy whose life is changed by an early birthday gift of a bow, which quickly inspires her to become the best archer in the kingdom. Since we now live in a franchise friendly world, it feels more inevitable than surprising when the latest sequel gets announced. Fandoms have become king as of late and this has certainly caused a positive influence on the medium if it translates to sequels and more adventures for everyone’s favorite characters. This is not always the case, but with follow-up movies becoming increasingly common, it’s easier to embrace the idea than rebel against it.
Sequels are no longer guaranteed to be inferior than their predecessors and, if anything, the filmmakers work even harder to top what came before them due to the added pressure of these feats. Sequels used to be viewed as classless cash grabs, and while that assumption is still true in some cases, the reputation regarding sequels has largely changed over the years. There’s a severe lack of original stories in Hollywood at the moment because the public has truly gone crazy over the prospect of further chapters to their favorite stories.
Sequels and spinning films into long-lasting series have definitely become the norm. Now, directors are deemed unprepared if they head into their movie without putting sequel and franchise opportunities into consideration.
There used to be a more modest time in cinema where sequels were a rarity.
