Pixar's First Original Feature since the excellent Up back in 2009. After that, Pixar's releases have been two sequels to their previous releases (one excellent and one reportedly way below their standards).Brave is unlike any Pixar production before, with the studio tackling for the first time the fairy tale genre, made popular by their partner, Disney.
Set in The Scottish Highland, Brave tells us the story of young Princess Merida and the war between her and her mother, who constantly grooms Merida to be her mirror image. Being the free spirited princess she is (Ariel anyone?) naturally she fought not only her mother, but the ancient tradition of marriage in her kingdom. How to achieve that? Why with a visit to a witch's cottage and transform her Mother into a Bear of course (Brother Bear?)
Brave is safe to say, one of Pixar's most gorgeous looking production so far, the team had managed to animate the beauty of the Scottish Highlands and capture its grandeur.
The story is very much well told, although not as well told as Pixar's past productions. But it is every bit as enjoyable as any Disney Production, not Pixar.
Despite, having Pixar's visual, at its core, the film is disney through and through. An enjoyable affair for the family, and finally, a true merging of Disney and Pixar films. In short, a true Disney/Pixar Production.
3.5/5
