Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

Finally made it out to see this still not knowing much about it other than the trailer sold it as something that it isn’t. I didn’t see the trailers so the turn it takes was not really a surprise. Agree that it’s more Disney than Pixar and even the animation isn’t near previous Pixar efforts. First half was flat for me but it picks up and finishes well enough to get a 7/10.
