Great step back in right direction for Disney.

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2013)

BRAVE is a decent example of the type of deep, emotional films Disney USED to make. Pixar Movies have never, at least for me, ever reached an emotional level as that of many Disney films. The combination of Pixar's brilliant animation and Disney charm really make me feel that BRAVE is a decent step back in the right direction.
Disney, in my opinion, has lacked in the story department for the last 10 years. Brother Bear (2003) being the last remarkable and deep plot. BRAVE shows much of Brother Bear and its components of love, forgiveness, and tolerance.
Disney films, and basically every Pixar film, being released has a shallow, un-relatable plot. Toy Story very slimly being an exception. Disney needs to get back to making the types of movies which made it how popular it is today. Getting back to these universal ideas and themes would improve the quality of future content. The attention to the story needs to be increased, instead of focusing on creating marketable characters. Really, what Disney animated film won't be successful in this day and age. Disney is big enough to be able to sacrifice marketability for substance.
I like to FEEL something, anything while watching a film. BRAVE I can happily say, gave me chills. I have yet to feels this with really any Pixar film or any Disney film in the past 10 years.
Overall, BRAVE is a great step back in the right direction for Disney. Now the only thing to do is wait and see whether or not they realize the good thing they've stumbled upon.
