Brave - Emma Thompson, Kelly MacDonald, Billy Connolly

Merida is the daughter of a clan chief.  She is the oldest of four children. She has triplet brothers. Her mother is perpetually trying to instill in her the rules of being a lady. Her mother is in fact grooming her to take over as wife of the next clan chief. Her father is loud, a hunter, and slightly uncouth. Merida is rebellious teenager. She hunts, rides her horse, and has unruly hair.

This film focuses primarily on the relationship between Merida and her mother.  Merida attempts to avert what she sees as a terrible fate: marriage. Her wish is distorted and she ends up not only bonding with her mother but seeing her mother in a new light.

I really enjoy Pixar films. I like the Scottish tones, the red hair and the female protagonist. I also really enjoy family relationships and this one focuses on a mother and daughter. They fight the way parents and children do. For once, a film where the mother is still alive. Not only that she's trying to force her daughter to grow up and learn responsibility!

Watch this film, it's fun, predictable and a delight. The voices are great and while not exactly treading new ground it is still an enjoyable film. See it!
