Great story, visually stunning

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2012)

Was lucky enough to see BRAVE about a week ago at a special screening. The mother/daughter story is fantastic and will be fun for kids of all ages. Another visually stunning film by Pixar with the story front and center.
Loved how the film did not pander to typical Disney Princess conventions, but showcased strong female characters who can kick butt and take names. King Fergus and the Clan leaders are a hoot. The film is also a moving postcard for Scotland. I've been to Castle Urquhart on Loch Ness and it is just as beautiful in the film as it is in real life. Hopefully, this film will inspire more Scottish vacations as it is a stunningly beautiful place.
Bottom line is that this is a must see family film of the Summer. BRAVE really made me think about my own relationships and how powerful listening to each other's perspectives can be. It's funny, warm, and has a lot of heart. Kids will love it, Moms will love it, and Dads will love it.
