Plot

Set in the Scottish Highlands, the film tells the story of a princess named Merida (Kelly Macdonald, Peigi Barker). She defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. After consulting a witch for help, Merida accidentally transforms her mother (Emma Thompson) into a bear and is forced to undo the spell herself before it is too late.

Opinion

If you are looking for a good animated film, go for a Pixar one, they won't disappoint you. Brave is visually stunning: Merida's curly hair almost looks real and fits perfectly to her rebellious personality; the colors are amazing, and the red hair always pops out; the landscapes are highly detailed.

The story, which is good although ends in trivial way, looks even more magical with the music by Patrick Doyle.

Quotes

Princess Merida: Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it. Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one's destiny intertwines with many others. It's the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Some never find it. But there are some who are led.
