Brave is Pixar’s much anticipated fable of a Scottish princess. Pixar is a brand name that represents excellence in animated movies, and Brave continues the tradition.
As we have come to expect, the animation is magnificent. The heroine is a girl with an exuberant tangle of unruly red curls, and it’s difficult not to enjoy her wild head of hair in every scene.
The other Pixar trademark is depth of story. Other studios can make a girl power story with mother-daughter conflict, but Pixar brings more to the table here, with themes of making immature mistakes and then growing up and taking responsibility.
Brave‘s story isn’t as deep – and Brave isn’t as good – as those of Toy Story, WALL-E and Up, but even mid-level Pixar is better than movies from Disney, DreamWorks or other animation studios. Adults will enjoy Brave, and it’s a must see for kids.
3D or not to 3D? I was satisfied with the 2D and would definitely recommend against paying the premium for 3D.
