That was an excellent one.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Are you willing to pay the price your freedom will cost?Princess Merida is scheduled to be given away to a suitor to marry. A contest is held for her hand and she decides to participate on her own behalf. She has a vision that young adults can pick their own mate. She'll have a hard time convincing the elders that this path is appropriate, but that won't stop her from trying."There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it."Branda Chapman, director of The Prince of Egypt, delivers Brave in her second major motion picture. The storyline for this picture is above average but far from epic. The animation style is first rate and classic Pixar and the characters are fairly interesting; but again, maybe not as good as other Pixar films. The script is above average and the voices are well selected and include Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Kelly Macdonald, and Julie Walters."At least we have hair!"
"And all of our teeth!"I watched Brave last Christmas but fell asleep on and off watching it. I just sat and finally watched it all the way through, and it just felt okay...a step below some of the current series like How to Train Your Dragon, Wall-E, Incredibles, etc. Overall, this is worth watching once, and is borderline worth adding to your DVD collection, but nothing special for the genre."I didn't ask her to change you into a bear! I just asked her to change... you."Grade: B-

This is one of the movies that I actually still own on DVD because it is a movie I would always go back to.
The movie is full of a funny scenes and it goes in depth of Scottish tradition and mystery, which I do think studying a culture is something Disney should do more often.
As I said it's just a fun movie showing a different side to the basic Disney Princess stories and in my opinion it's what started off the franchise of strong Disney females.

All I can say without spoiling the plot is, if you think this movie is an inspiring story of one little girl heeding the call to fulfill her true destiny, think again. That appears to essentially be what the writers intended it to be, but formulated in such a way to make me want to vomit at almost every point of the movie. Thought this would be on par with Moana given the plot description, but I was wrong... 2 stars for the occasional chuckle at the king's antics.

This has brilliant animation and fantastic characters. Even though we have a character turning into a bear, it has great messages. Though I normally see disobedient princesses as bad role models, I like how Merida realizes she's done wrong and makes up. Kelly MacDonald's accent really livens things up here, and who can't go without Emma Thompson in this?! This is worth watching repeatedly and is a great movie.
