The other day I had the pleasure of watching Brave with my younger sister. I must say I'm not a big fan of animated movies but I have made my exceptions for movies like: The Incredibles, A Monster in Paris, Monster's Inc. and a few others. However I really enjoyed watching the movie and even while the movie was being advertised I was interested.
Some people do think their are too many princess movies where the princess is the stereotypical damsel in distress and that she should be stronger. It doesn't mean she should be visibly strong but also strong in her morals and independent in her decisions. It means she shouldn't have to wait for someone to help her but have the willingness to achieve that on her own. Therefore I can truly sum up my feelings of Brave in this one sentence: It's inspiring, funny and a bit life changing.
I really loved the fact that the princess was not American because it made the film more interesting. Also I really like Scotland because my favorite actor is Scottish. I also really enjoyed her strength and determination for creating her own path and destiny. That was the whole premise of the movie and I think it excellently showed in the movie. She made sure she wasn't forced to be married and when her mother was turned into a Bear she found a way to solve it on her own. Not only was she physically capable she was smart enough to overcome her pride and do what was right.
The graphics were also beautiful especially with her red curly hair! Her brothers were adorable and there was a bit of humor that counterbalanced with the moral of the movie. It was fun to watch, thrilling in a kids way, and taught you something important.

Overall: This is a great solid movie for all ages. It is fun, a little raw, and teaches a great lesson. It's also fantastic for young girls because it shows that you do not have to wait for someone to save you because you are capable of achieving it yourself. If you have kids, want to see a strong girl, or love red curly hair check it out!
