I sympathized with both of them? I mean, Merida was a total brat, but she was a kid, and I feel like her dad really wasn't helping Elinor in terms of providing a united front so Merida was getting a lot of mixed messages in terms of what she was expected to do and be. But on the other hands Elinor did need to try to actually connect with Merida on her level (and obviously was capable of it! That scene that intercuts the conversation they both wish they could have with each other shows they have a lot more in common than they think at the beginning). And I mean I'm always going to be on the side of not being forced into a marriage you don't want, so.

I agree, especially about Fergus' role! I mean people can dislike Merida, but I still feel that this is one of the rare occasions in which saying "she's just a teenager" is a good way to look at her character and isn't just an excuse. It's not an excuse because she really was terrible, and we ARE meant to get that from the movie. But in the end she does learn and accepts her fault.
