Just saw Brave

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2012)

PRO: Pixar has done yet another amazing project; first fairytale for Pixar. Expect stunning effects, scenery and characters that only Pixar can create. Indeed family lessons are learned, especially between a mother and a daughter. It is a great coming of age story with a legalistic mother and a freedom loving daughter. There are a lot of good messages in the storyline.
CON: There is a darker side to this story than what has been seen previously in Disney and Pixar productions. Scary scenes are pushing the envelop of a kid-friendly movie. There is some off-color humor that does not add an ounce to the story. We are forced to deal with the servant woman's cleavage scenes and Merida's brother diving in at one point. There was the mooning scene of one of the Lords and of course the bare backsides of all the men after climbing down the castle wall. These scenes definitely pushed this into a PG+ movie.
