Los Angeles, Feb 25 (IANS): 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.
