Executive Producer Katherine Sarafian and Director Mark Andrews accepted the award for Best Animated Feature Film for Brave at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California January 13, 2013.

The story of headstrong Highland princess Merida, which features the voices of Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Robbie Coltrane and Kelly Macdonald, beat off competition from Frankenweenie, Rise of the Guardians, Hotel Transylvania and Wreck-It Ralph to take the trophy at the star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles last night. It was the sixth win for Disney’s Pixar Animation unit in the seven years since the Globes added the category.

The film, which had its European premier at last year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival, was nominated for an Oscar last week, foreign media reported.
