Directors Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman’s Brave won the best animated feature film award at the 85th Annual Academy Awards here Sunday night.

The film’s story is about a high-spirited Scottish princess Merida, who resists her mother’s efforts to transform her into a more ladylike young woman.

Faced with an arranged marriage she doesn’t want, Merida runs away into the forest, where she encounters a witch, who teaches her a dangerous spell.

Director Andrews was “brave” enough to wear a kilt to the Oscar stage and collect the trophy.
