A Film Worthy of the Pixar and Disney name

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2012)

This is a movie with stunning visuals, colourful characters, a unique story and all the emotion you'd expect from Pixar. This movie had me laughing at one point, and crying at another. Merida is a heroine worthy of your time, as we watch her grow as a character and learn valuable lessons. The story in itself is very original, different from the usual musical romances you'd expect from a princess film. I found it refreshing and tasteful, done in a way only Pixar could pull off. The music is beautiful, making up for the lack of singing animals. The animation is beautiful, certainly with a unique flair to it. Merida is a beautiful character with plenty of character traits and development, it's obvious lots of thought was put into her. Elinor was a three dimensional character with a distinct personality and plenty of character growth. The side characters are memorable and entertaining. I highly recommend this movie, not only for kids, but for adults too. This movie is worth your money and time, the Disney and Pixar name, and ultimately a place in your movie collection.
