Good but not great...

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2012)

The backdrop for the movie and the music are enchanting and lovely. As for the storyline, the challenges our protagonist faces, They are a little confusing. She has a few antagonists to deal with. First, this is a coming of age movie, Merida battles the traditions of her culture as far as a choosing a suitor, But she doesn't find a suitor, at all. Second, she deals with her strained relationship with her mother, this is the central struggle within the movie, a theme that is rarely explored in fairytaledom. Personally, I don't think it hit the mark as firmly as the father son relationship in Finding Nemo. Lastly, Merida unlocks the mystery of a Tale about her culture from years ago. Bottom line, the movie has too many different Antagonistic elements that aren't fully developed throughout the storyline. The film will definitely sit among the staples of the media of choice for young people, but I don't think it's been the best product that Pixar has delivered.
