Using the Scottish highlands is both an inspiring choice and allows them to craft a beautiful film. Pixar always manages to create an interesting and unique tale, and this goes right up there with the best of them. I won't get into plot details, as the trailer really doesn't give a lot away in terms of what this film is really about, but suffice to say, there is plenty of fun and adventure to be had.

In an effort to change her fate and be free of her oppressive, but loving mother, she attempts to change her fate, and in the process makes a huge mistake. As an animated film, however, this is a fantastic and fascinating film, a treat for the summer.īrave tells the story of the aforementioned Merida, a young, Scottish princess whose life is controlled by her mother so that she can be shaped into a queen someday over the surrounding tribes.
Granted, this isn't Pixar's best, but that's holding it up to extremely high standards. In fact, Merida alone was such an interesting and adorable character, that it was instantly on my to watch list. It had everything a great Pixar film has: a wonderful setting, fantastic CGI, beautiful and interesting characters, and a lot of heart.

Although there are no product placements in the movie, there's a ton of Brave merchandise available, particularly aimed at girls. There's no romance for Princess Merida, but you can expect a few jokes about men being naked under their kilts a couple of scenes even include quick glimpses of naked cartoon bums belonging to men and three young boys. The first Pixar movie to revolve around a female main character, Brave does have a strong message about family relationships and open communication between parents and kids (particularly mothers and daughters). There's also a lot of brawling among the Scotsmen, who use both weapons (arrows, swords, etc.) and their bodies (fists, teeth) on each other. A moment when the mom-turned-bear temporarily forgets she's human and growls at her daughter could upset younger kids. Several intense sequences involve a large angry bear that attacks the main characters - which are even more so when seen in 3-D - and ( possible spoiler alert) a possibly disturbing but mostly comical transformation of a mother into a bear. Parents need to know that Brave is pretty scary for a "princess movie," especially for kids under 7 and/or those who are very sensitive to peril.

Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide. The will o' the wisps are eerie and a bit ominous. Some of the scenes with the witch may also be scary for kids - she's mostly harmless, but her hut is spooky, and she comes off as creepy herself. The climactic battle between the bears and the clan gets very tense, especially when it looks like Merida or Elinor will be hurt. Young kids might also be frightened when the men (including Fergus) take arms against bear-Elinor and are set on killing her.

Possible spoiler alert: Elinor's transformation into a bear is mostly funny, but in one scene that could upset younger kids, she becomes more bear than mother and growls menacingly at Merida. The bear attacks King Fergus in the opening sequence (viewers learn that it tore off his leg he has a wooden stump), and later it rages against Merida, Elinor, and the entire congregation of Scottish clansmen. There are several intense/scary scenes in Brave revolving around a giant, frightening bear some of them may be too much for younger or more sensitive kids.
