Beautifully animated, not so beautifully thought out.

Rating: 6/10 (12 November 2012)

The visual stimulation is wonderful and very well thought out, however much of the film fell far to short. Also, why is the movie called "Brave"? The title does not fit the movie in any sense at all.
Voice acting was very well done, and seemed to fit the movie perfectly. The characters were, for the most part, enjoyable. However, the lack of common sense in the movie was far to much for my liking.
I understand parents don't always listen to their children, as well as the opposite, however the sheer stupidity of the parents in this movie was almost to much handle. No one likes a predictable movie, but when the movie makes you want to smash your face in due to sheer "dead horse kicking" stupidity, it's a little to much. Children will like the movie, but anyone that has hit puberty will find the movie repetitive to the point of constantly rolling their eyes.
The story is extremely vague. Girl wants to defy parents, girl runs off with absolutely no goal or ideas. There is no direction in this. Just getting even with your mother and then crying when you make a boo-boo.
The bear thing was overdone and redundant a lot of the time. Seriously, how does this have anything to do with the word "Brave", the movies title? I was looking very forward to this movie but it fell far short of my expectations. This one is worth a rental, but in no way is it worth the full purchase price. Wait until it goes in the 5 dollar bin at Wal-mart. Oh wait...it's Disney, that means it will forever be 30 dollars because they milk the customer for everything they have. Just rent it.
