Lack of story, great of everything else

Rating: 5/10 (12 November 2012)

With all the hype, the great marketing and the reputation of PIXAR, I was very disappointed by this movie. After the first hour, I stood felt in the introduction. In fact it was near the end of the main story. We passed the entire movie go out and get back to the castle.
The first 30 min are awesome, the characters are lovable, the father specifically, the animation very well done, Scottish accent, and environment. Everything was in place for a great tale. Instead we assist, again, of the urges of a selfish young princess who "want to go out and feel the wind into her hairs" pressed by her mother to find an husband and act like a princess. We heard that story a million times, thanks to Disney. But where the story could have told us a great adventure, it slip to a weird , awkward story.
I know that its intended for kids, but Pixar always had multiple layers to their plot. In this one, its black and white, This is bad, this is good, and this is the lesson you kids should learn from this. Unlike "Up", "Wal-e", "Nemo", there is no layer, no subtlety, no real twist just a poor story too well animated. I admit, I laughed a few times, the characters are funny, some facial expression are well stereotyped, but no genius humor like Pixar used to think of. This movie is, by far, the worst of Pixar. And all the fault goes to the plot because everything else was in place to deliver something great: character, animation, world, voice acting.
