More like straight Disney than Pixar

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2012)

The animation/effects were wonderful, the storyline just about lived up to the publicity (Pixar's first female lead - and no male lead at all - hurray!) ... but the humour - sadly lacking. A few flashes from Billy Connolly's character and Merida's mute little brothers, but that was it.
We don't expect much in the way of wit/irony from Disney, but we have learned to expect an extra layer from Pixar that just wasn't there. And that's why I left the cinema thinking "Is that it?" Age-wise, it would be okay for most kids from about eight upwards - but much of the film is very dark and ranges from quite spooky(with supernatural themes) to straight out scary.
Roll on Ice Age 4 and Madagascar 3 ...
Oh, and IMDb, I know you're American, but there is really no need to try to get me to correct perfectly good English spelling. Thank you!
