EARLY ACCESS: Brave FULL REACTION (Patreon)

Pixar's Brave takes a departure from their usual tales of talking toys and lovable monsters to deliver a heartfelt story of bravery, self-discovery, and the bonds between mother and daughter.  A visually stunning animation for Scottish Highlands, where tradition meets a young princess's fierce determination to carve her own destiny.

Set in the rugged landscapes of ancient Scotland, the film introduces us to Princess Merida, an adventurous and headstrong archer. Her fiery spirit clashes with the expectations of her royal lineage, which dictate that she should conform to the stereotypical roles of a princess. Determined to defy this fate, Merida embarks on a daring quest that inadvertently plunges her kingdom into chaos.

Brave excels in its portrayal of familial relationships, particularly the dynamic between Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor. It does a good job showing of courage, independence, and the enduring love between a mother and her daughter. Their evolving bond and understanding form the emotional core of the story, a refreshing departure from the usual romantic narratives found in Disney princess films. 

Pixar's animation is, as expected, an amazing capture of the Scottish landscapes are rendered with meticulous detail. And for 2012 the animation is fantastic. The attention to cultural authenticity adds depth and richness to the setting. Overall, a good Pixar film here. 

Apologies for the camera quality hiccup. We were eager to test a new lens, but after the trial run, we decided to return it and opt for a different one. :)
