brave!

I went and watched Brave. And loved it.

 "An impetuous princess discovers that her reckless choice has put both her family and her father's kingdom in peril in this animated adventure from Pixar films. As a toddler, Merida (voice of Kelly MacDonald) saw her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), do battle with one of the fiercest animals in the kingdom -- a horribly scarred hulk of a bear named Mordu. Though Fergus lost his leg defending his family, Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), managed to escape the beast before it vanished back into the forest. Years later, Merida has grown up to become not just a skilled archer, but also a beautiful princess who inspires a competition among the eligible bachelors in the land. But Merida has little interest in getting married, and the harder her mother pushes the issue, the more fiercely she resists it. When the tournament for her hand gets under way and a deep divide opens between mother and daughter, Merida makes a wish that threatens the future of both her family and the entire kingdom. Now, with only a brief window of time to set things right, Merida must summon the courage to atone for her mistake and prevent a past tragedy from destroying any hope for a peaceful future." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A journey of girl who needs to repair her relationship with her mother. One might think she must go on some large quest to find the answer, when it really was  something she had to change about herself. That's all I'll say about what happens! *zips mouth*

One thing that I absolutely love about this movie, was the music. The music is gorgeous! Beautiful voices and instruments (search through my MixPod to hear a couple songs :D).

And another thing...the graphics are stunning! You can see every strand of hair, and so much more. It really is amazing.

So...would I recommend it? Certainly! It was a *leeeettle* different from your typical Disney movie, part of it the setting being in Scotland (the accents were wonderful, too!). I've always loved that culture anyway, though.

Was Merida perfect? Not at all. Was there magic? Yes, a little (really, when you think about it...what Disney movie doesn't?). Is is worth watching? Definitely! 

Here's the trailer...

 

Now, my dear readers, the question is...are you brave enough to watch it? ::sly grin::
