THey gre up. Merida is older. than she was in the movie They still should look younger. A&E said it was about 10 years after the movie. Merida would be 26, the boys would be about Henry's age (13-ish). They looked 18-ish to me.

And they weren't even named on-screen. That's so sad. lol They clearly weren't important. And they were three in the movie? They seemed older. Well, Fergus and Elinor called them babies at the end (wee naked babbies) and babies are usually younger than 5 (5 onwards is considered children). They could walk and run, but not talk. So the oldest they could be is about 3.

But yeah, they themselves weren't important. What was important was how Merida saved them. I know of a two-year-old who can walk, run, and speak. She's like a 3-year-old, but she turned 2 in October; even before then, she walked and ran and could say a few phrases. Hmm, but I also know of someone who is going to be 4 in January and she couldn't speak like the 2-year-old at the same age...

Anyways, I think Merida's brothers would be 14 and just look older than that. Isn't 14 the average age of puberty in boys? Jared Gilmore is 15 and he has a babyface, although he's tall at 5'5.
