Warning: there might be some spoilers!
Brave is a story about a princess of old Scotland, Merida, who does not want to conform to traditions and values her freedom more than anything. Merida felt that enough was enough when she hears about her betrothal that would be competed upon by the first borns of each clan of the kingdom. And here, the conflict begins.
I was really excited to see this movie. First of all, it is a Pixar film, and we can always expect for the great cgi effects and heart-warming stories. I'm glad to say that Brave delivers in these aspects. Though the story is not an out-of-the-box type like Toy Story, The Incredibles, or Cars, it is still a solid plot. It is a princess story.
Many teenager girls (or who have been teenagers) would be able to relate to Merida. Though they are not princesses or bound by traditions, they do feel or have felt that they are/were "overly" controlled by their parents (especially their mothers).
What I am most excited about is that finally, we have a Scottish Disney Princess. This also means that the setting is in old Scotland, which is amazing! I've always been fascinated by Scotland, the people's passion, its culture, its magic, and of course, their accent. You can expect these represented in the film.
All in all, it is a solid film that everyone can enjoy. So if you haven't seen it yet, go and do! :)
