IT'S MARRIAGE. IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2018)

The graphics is great on yet another Disney princess film. The film starts out with some deep themes. Mom attempts to mold Merida into her expectations of her being a princess. Merida is daddy's girl and a tomboy. When it comes times for suitors, the 15 year old rebels against her mother to win her freedom to choose her own life. This was all great as the classic female roles are being broken, a reflection of today's world. I was really enjoying the film.
After this great start the film digresses into magic and witchcraft. Now I have nothing against either one, it is just at this point the film loses track of the theme and becomes needlessly silly and moves off into a new direction and creates a kids version of "The Monkey's Paw" i.e. be careful what you wish for. The preteen kids will enjoy it, I can't imagine adults getting too excited.
