cheers to girl power

Rating: 6/10 (22 June 2012)

Girls of the 21st century will definitely be able to connect to Merida, the protagonist of Disney Pixar's new offer, Brave. Merida is a princess, even if she likes it or not. She is an excellent archer and a head strong girl and most importantly there are no qualities in her that can make her an absolute Princess. That's what her mother thinks. Merida is no simpering beauty nor she follows the etiquette of a princess, yet you end up liking her character. Brave narrates the story of Merida who loves to live her life to the fullest according to her heart. And for this, she is even ready to break the traditions of her family. But she ends up doing something for which she has only less time to amend it. With movies like Toy Story, WALL-E, Finding Nemo in the hit list, Brave is a slight disappointment from Disney Pixar. The producers always had something new to offer, but this time, they gave us what was already told which resembles to Little Mermaid. It also tells the tale of a girl who likes to live life on her terms. Brave has great technicality and beautiful visuals. But that does not seem to be enough to impress. The music is not really impressive and the dialogues are plain. This is the first time that Pixar showcased female as the protagonist and indeed she is convincing and also an inspiration to growing girls to choose what they like. But at the same having their bond attached to the family. After all said and done, the movie offers a message for growing kids. And hence, let them take that message with this red haired beauty.
