One of the better Pixar films

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2018)

I remember seeing this movie back in 2012 and enjoying all the fantastic scenery as well as the Scottish themes. It's not the best animated film I've seen but it's a nice runner-up to my favorites. While watching the movie, I was reminded of two previous Disney films. One was Freaky Friday and the other was 1991's Beauty and the Beast (but no romance!). I don't remember too much about the film, considering I've only seen it once, but it's one of the less cliched Disney princess movies. Plus, the heroine is an archer with a brave heart (no pun intended towards the Mel Gibson movie). There are some darker themes in this Pixar outing so it might not be good for very young children, but it would be interesting for teens and twentyish adults, or anyone who wants to see a Scottish setting. This movie really broke tradition for Pixar. And it worked.
