"If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?"

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2012)

Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) doesn't want to be a princess. She wants to be free and fire arrows into the sunset, but most importantly, change her fate. When she stumbles upon a witch's hut in the woods, The Witch (Julie Walters) gives her a potion to which Merida thinks will change her mother, Elinor (Emma Thompson)'s mind about Merida getting married. The potion does more than Merida asked for. PIXAR is the best animation studio right now but last year the put out Cars 2 which I didn't like and found it a huge disappointment, being a big fan of Cars. I think they redeemed themselves with Brave and the short that shows before the feature, La Luna. Brave has great voice-overs and fantastic Scottish-accents. I didn't find the accents annoying and I don't think they got in the way of the viewing experience although others might disagree. I thought the voice- overs were great. The animation was spectacular as it always is with PIXAR. You can really see the facial expressions well so the viewer can interpret the character's feelings without them talking. The animation was just awesome. I give Brave a B+. For more reviews, go to www.thecheapseatsmoviereviews.weebly.com
