At long last we have the next Pixar film after Cars 2. Does it bring back the awesome Pixar...well...awesomeness? let's find out.
Plot: Merida is a Scottish princess who loves archery. But her mother keeps trying to make her act more like a princess. One day, her mother works on trying to make Merida be betrothed to one of the sons of the allied clan leaders of Scotland. Merida doesn't want to get married by force, so she asks a witch to help her change her mind, but that doesn't work out, so she has try to reverse the damage she's done.
Now here's the million dollar question: is this an improvement from Cars 2?...yes but not by much. I mean yes, the characters are fun, the setting is creative, and the comedy is awesome. But the plot was terribly predictable. I mean as far as how predictable it is, it cuts pretty close to the predictability of Chicken Little and the first Cars movie. There was one thing that was unexpected, but that just brought new things to predict what was going to happen. The sad thing at the end of the day is that the story all around make the movie set more for just kids then for adults. So we may have gotten another good movie from Pixar, but it failed to meet the standard of being for adults as well as kids like any other Pixar film that just makes it one of their weakest.
Characters:
Merida: While she's not among my favorite main Pixar characters, she still was cool. She did have the kind of free and independent spirit and was a decent bad-a with archery and knowing how to use swords and spears. I didn't like how in a couple of ways she was being a little to similar to known archers, especially Robin Hood when they did the archery tournament, but still.
Merida's family: They were probably the best characters in the movie. I mean i liked the mother by default just because she was voiced by Emma Thompson, but her brothers and her dad were hilarious.
Music: The music was pretty enjoyable. Then again, it's easily likable when it's Scottish music.
And that's my review for Brave. It's a nice movie, but the story makes it too much like a kid's movie rather then a movie for both adults and kids that it doesn't go far in the usual standards of being a Pixar film.
Here's my video review to this film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD0kc3XtbJE&list=PL29674ED22E57C355&index=10&feature=plpp_video
