The girl and her bear


Brave (2012)

Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman this film features the voice talent of Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson. In Scotland during the dark ages a young princess fights with her mother over getting married.

The plot of this film is a fairly decent mother/daughter story focusing on the fight for independence as a woman that never really hits the heights of some of Pixar's other films. By going into the world of fairy tales takes off the unique shine that Pixar usually bring to cinema as we are more familiar with this sort of thing and often the story does tend to rely on cultural stereotypes. Despite of a change of director part way through making the film the film is well made and has one or two sequences that do a great job of capturing the Scottish countryside.

4/5
