Synopsis

Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where Mérida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Mérida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Mérida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Mérida’s quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom’s three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin, the surly Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall.

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
kierliv It took animators around three years to animate Meridia's hair, which I think is a perfect metaphor for this movie. It has all of Pixar's level of polish that you'd expect, from the beautiful visuals to the rich soundtrack, but lacking the trademark excellent story. I choose to believe that this mediocre exploration into celebrating lesser known cultures was an important lesson, one that perhaps taught Pixar how to do it correctly with Coco. Otherwise, this movies only reward will to be forgotten.
Lee Eisenberg "Brave" is very much unlike most Disney movies. Its princess not only wants to break tradition: she wants to go out and do things on her own, even to the chagrin of her parents. I guess that part of what was most enjoyable about it was the setting in medieval Scotland, complete with lots of Celtic imagery (and they made sure to have a mostly Scottish cast: Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Robbie Coltrane and Craig Ferguson, among others).Admittedly, there are some goofs - as revealed on the YouTube series Cinema Sins - but overall I thought that it was a respectable movie (and I say this as someone who's not usually into Disney movies). As to the issue of whether it deserved to win Best Animated Feature, I did think that "Frankenweenie" was the cooler movie.Even so, worth seeing.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Brave" (2012)Another original screenplay greenlighted by executive producers John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton at Pixar Animation Studios, which turns into a strange, unsolid mixture of an high-scale animation movie that seems to take ingredients from Northern mythology like a child shopping in a limitless supermarket.The story concerns young princess Merida, fairly vocal performance by actress Kelly MacDonald with strong native Scottish accent, who sets out to survive in the wild of a charming animated mystic forest environment and one haunting scene in a deep woods cottage, inhabited by an ultra-old witch, given voice by actress Julie Walters; but then "Brave" fails to deliver further gripping suspense in an unfolding cursed family subplot of Merida's mother transformed into a tapsy black Grizzli bear to join her in the character's pointless odyssey through the wilderness before hitting the family tribe disputing castle of consequent insuitable wannabe husbands for the princess and big bad and black nemesis Grizzli to be slayed in a mutual family afford to lift a curse for happily ever afters.Nevertheless these narrative weaknesses, a relatively shortly-pacing 85 Minutes editorial by Nicholas C. Smith and a matching Northern folklore score by composer Patrick Doyle carries this Pixar picture to the finish line with constant wonder of how the digital magicians at Pixar's animation department animated the fascinating orange-red hair of Merida's. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
Hermione Granger 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.
