Brave

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.

I'm conflicted about this movie.  Mostly because it's from Pixar.  Is the movie good?  Yeah.  I enjoyed it.  It was like a Disney princess movie with red hair and a Scottish accent.  The originality was hurt a little bit by how similar it was to Brother Bear from a couple of years ago.  But it was still enjoyable and the animation was fantastic.  However, this is Pixar.  They are the top rung on the ladder of animation.  Their movies are usually Best Picture worthy.  But this coming on the heels of last year's mailed in Cars 2, reeks of them selling out their originality for marketing/money making.  Sad. 

Again, I did enjoy the movie and I would recommend people checking it out, but it was below the expectations that I have grown to have for Pixar movies.
