Not a classic Disney film, but still very good.

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2013)

BRAVE
So for Christmas, my parents got me a few of the Disney films missing from my collection. Today I watched Brave. I had never seen this one before which is not like me... I normally see them in the cinema, but for some reason this one passed me by.
The movie is about a Scottish princess who is being forced to get married, but she really doesn't want to. So one day when going through a forest she stumbles across a witches house, she decides to purchase a spell from her to change her mother. The problem is, she wanted to change her mothers opinions on the forced marriage... instead she changed her mother into a bear. Now she has to find a way of changing her mother back into a human before her father finds the bear. Her father kills them.
It is a great story, but I am sure Disney have done this before... or at least very similar. Brother Bear is similar to this. There are obvious differences, but they are both about them trying to find ways of changing someone important back from a bear.
The animation is brilliant as always, but I find it very hard to fault Disney of their animation. I honestly believe they are the best in the world.
As always there are some musical numbers in the movie. They were quite good, but not very memorable. They just didn't seem to have the typical Disney hook. They were not very catchy. But they still fit in with the movie quite well.
There were some very funny moments in the movie which made me and my family laugh.
The voice work was also very good like normal, the only problem I would say with it though is, there were a lot of famous people used for the voice work in this movie, but I only recognised one voice. They really could have just got anyone to do the voices. The main recognisable voice was done by Billy Connolly. He has such a distinctive voice that I could tell, it was him straight away. Other voice artists were Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters & Robbie Coltrane. I didn't know these guys did the voices until the end credits of the movie.
If you are a fan of Disney, then I recommend this to you. It is very entertaining for you and the kids. Yet again Disney did not disappoint.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
