Brave


I saw Disney/Pixar's Brave this past Friday. CTV News' movie critic, Richard Crouse, loved it. That's the main reason I thought I'd see it. I have to say, it didn't disappoint.

It's beautifully animated. Really stunning. As well, the story was lovely. Not your typical Disney passive, princess needs rescuing fairy tale. No, Merida, (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) is a strong-willed, independent lass who has her own ideas of what she wants to do with her own life. This creates conflict between her and her mother the queen (voice by Emma Thompson) who wants to follow tradition and marry her off to one of the first-born sons of the ally clan leaders.

There are funny moments, touching moments... moments of reflection. The movie is about dealing with family conflict, sacrifice and finally resolution. A must see.
