About this movie

Pixar Animation Studios, the creator of Toy Story 3, whisks you away on an astonishing adventure to an ancient land full of mystery and tradition. Bursting with heart, unforgettable characters and Pixar's signature humor, Brave is incredible entertainment for the whole family. Take a heroic journey with Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land. When Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos in the kingdom, she must harness all of her skills and resources including her clever and mischievous triplet brothers to undo a beastly curse before it's too late, and discover the meaning of true bravery.

I cannot believe this is a childrens movie. Merida is selfish, defiant, and whines about her circumstances in a manner that makes it difficult to believe she's a princess or any young lady of high society. She's supposedly of marrying age and yet she can't civilly discuss with her mother, someone who's been in the same situation, how she feels that an arranged marriage is unfair. In front of her mother, she maliciously slashes the family tapestry (with a portrait of her parents, brothers and her sewn on it) which her mother handmade. She seeks the help of a witch to change her mother in some way and ends up turning her own mother into a bear. In the description, it says that she has to "undo a beastly curse". Yes, the curse that was cast by Merida. She wasn't even tricked into it! It takes her the whole movie to apologize and tell her mom she loves her but it's only when things look the bleakest. There are no circumstances for any of her actions and she ends up getting her way for the time being.

Worst movie ever trust me there's no story line here I'm going to tell you excatly what its about. Its about a girl with red hair who whines and pouts about her life then she and evil witch make a deal turning her mother into a bear. This is not a kids movie biggest mistake I've ever made was buying this and them creating it.

I understand this movie was geared towards a mother/daughter relationship. And in that right, it's very good at handling it, and Pixar has always done well at that. But what upset me was how stupid the men were. They were complete idiots to the point where it was painful to watch! I understand I may not be Brave's target audience, but I cannot recommend this movie to those of us guys who actually understand responsibility and have brains in our heads.
