Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late. (official distributor synopsis)

The new film from Pixar, it doesn't have to be such an event every time anymore. "Cars 2" was a bit disappointing and I think "Brave" also caused quite a uncertainty because it wasn't the usual Pixar topic. But what actually is it? These people have an incredible scope. This time too, they managed to create something new, although even with "Brave" they didn't avoid the flaws that they encountered in the previous film. "Brave" is an original film, which is positive. After two sequels, there is a film that is completely new. It is set in Scotland, the main character is a young princess who doesn't want to submit to her mother and the main story... And here is where the disappointment came for me. Actually, I didn't know what it was about, but I liked the idea of a young Scottish girl running around the highlands, shooting her bow and not allowing herself to be tied down. A bit like Jane Austen combined with "Braveheart". In terms of animation, "Brave" is perfect. You rarely see such a beautiful landscape even in reality. At times, you have the feeling that you are watching a documentary and not an animated film. But this is what is expected from Pixar. Perfect animation is their motto, and that's why they are ahead of other studios. However, Pixar is also expected to have a great story. This time, it... It's good, but too moralizing. The family is presented as a relic, which is a bit disturbing. But the film definitely doesn't lack humor. There are moments when you really laugh, but it must be said that several times I remembered the fairy tale "Tangled", which in my opinion was even funnier. So "Brave" is not bad, but I feel like it's just average for Pixar. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/09/rebelka-perfect-sense-sprosty-holky.html

The first Pixar film that can be talked or written about as a fairy tale. That is not a bad thing. Especially after the super action-packed Cars 2, it was time to take a breather, so a nice story (with a dull message) came in handy. The perfect technical aspect is a matter of course, but the "adult" humor has somewhat diminished and Brave is rather a showcase of various visual or almost sitcom gags.

I really, really needed to relax. These cartoons are exactly what one needs once in a while; one meaning me. In any case, it was a really nice fairytale. I liked how they played around with the Scottish environments and with the overall atmosphere of the sceneries and kings ofthose times. It was really nice, but I would have chosen a more epic story for that kind of an environment. The bears didn’t really sit well with me. And that was the biggest issue. But both the animation and the music were truly nice and that’s what made me stay and watch it till the end. And I felt really nice afterwards.

A fairy tale for children... well, why not, a successful one. But I put it on at the kind of time when you’re pleasantly tired and you don't want to see anything drastic or "deep". That's why I reached for Brave, I thought it would be perfect for such a moment. Well, it probably would have been, but I didn't like her story – I was expecting something a bit different. I laughed here and there, but otherwise I was bored. I watched two acts – after 50 minutes I turned it off and went to go read instead. I gave it another chance in the morning, but I still wasn't into the lecturing about how important mothers and family are. After all, I don't need to be lectured about that (which is probably why I didn't like it for the most part – I'm not fond of those particular stories where the main character/woman wishes things were different just because they're screwed up at the moment). Even though I’m giving it a low rating, I would definitely recommend watching it. And the heroine really did have great hair.

I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed it. A nice story, perfect animation, great atmosphere, and non-violently “educational”. Perhaps is not as original as previous Pixar films, but it’s still very nice. I was expecting a variation of “a princess has to marry an ugly prince, but she loves a poor peasant”, but what I got was a touching fairytale about a daughter-mother relationship. I’m satisfied.
