Brave is an action-adventure video game adaptation based on the 2012 film of the same name developed by Behaviour Interactive and published by Disney Interactive Studios. Actress Kelly Macdonald, who voiced Merida in the film, reprised her role for the video game.

THQ was originally reported to be publishing the game and would've been the last title in the original agreement with Pixar that was signed in 2004 (before Disney acquired Pixar in 2006) that was set to expire in 2014.[2][3][4][5][6] It was instead ultimately published by Disney Interactive Studios (after previously handling the video game adaptions of Toy Story 3 and Cars 2) due to THQ announcing they would be exiting the licensed kids game business in January 2012.[7]

This was the final Pixar-related title from Disney Interactive Studios prior to its closure in 2016.
