This one misses by a mile.

For Pixar, this is clearly one of their worst. OK, we already know the film is going to look and sound wonderful, and Brave is no exception. The story is the real turkey here as I kept waiting for it to develop only to sadly discover, oh, the mother turning into a bear IS the story. They attempt to espouse that one need not find adventure beyond their own realm, or was it a story to bring mother and daughter closer together, I don't know, it wasn't clear to me. Most Pixar films have been family ones, but this is a kiddie installment. It has a few moments of humor, but a lot of the films moments borrows from others. Too many scenes focus on needless minutia and unrelated activities that I found pointless, boring, and non-productive.I still don't know why the film is titled "Brave" as my interpretation of that word differs sharply from that of the writer's.
