Brave (2012) - Review

Kelly Macdonald (Merida - the leading 'Brave' character) has the most wonderful voice. I just had to get that out of the way. Apart from that, Emma Thompson (Elinor - Mother) can do a posh scottish brogue and Billy Connolly (Fergus - Dad) is well, Billy Connolly. Brave is set in an animated version of Scotland that comes close to being one of the most picturesque interpretations of the ancient Caledonian Confederacy and even nods a head to the Pictish tribes. Pixar must have spent quite some time getting a Scottish download into their brains but despite this, Brave is a mixture of great animation and stereotypical tripe.

Beautiful new 2-minute trailer for Pixar's 'Brave' (2012)

Source: YouTube

Synopsis: Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). 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 (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) 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.

Disney Pixar's Up review - Lola's take

Disney movies are just perfect. Pixar movies are spectacular. Add the two together and what do you have? Ok you have Finding Nemo, Monsters inc, The Incredibles and a whole host of other incredible movies; But surely after a while those at Disney Pixar have got to run out of the magic potion they must use to create such masterpieces? Evidently not. Up is just glorious. In every aspect. The story line is slightly deeper this time round, touching the topic of miscarriage even, and the charming beginning scenes which show the life of Ellie and Carl Fredericksen are tearjerking even to the coldest of hearts. If you haven't found your soul mate when you watch this film, i guarantee you'll start the search after seeing the cute montage of their life together. The film centres around Mr Fredericksen after the death of Ellie, who by this time is an elderly man, and a young over eager wilderness explorer, Russell. The juxtaposition of the two characters make for an entertaining storyline when Mr Fredericksen decides to float his house to Paradise Falls, which was a lifelong dream for his former wife, unaware of the visitor he has on his porch as he takes flight. This film will please both children and adults whether in 3D or 2D. The setting is beautiful, the music is charming, and by the end of it you are left with a wonderful fuzzy feeling in your heart. This has fast become my favourite Disney Pixar movie yet (although it was a tough call between this and Monsters Inc…) A delightfully charming 8/10 from me. Bravo Disney Pixar, Bravo. Lola x
