Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2012)

All right, let me start off by saying that I am a huge Disney and Pixar fan. I also have extremely high standards in the movies I watch. That being said, this movie is a fantastic success.
Animation. The animation (I saw it in 2D so I cannot comment on the 3D) was excellent. There were times when I thought it could have been better (but only by a little), but more often than not I was blown away by its beauty and detail.
Soundtrack. The score was composed by Patrick Doyle. The score was amazing- especially if you really enjoy Scottish music. The singing was very good. I know some people were not impressed because there was a genuine Scottish accent, but I did not mind. I thought it was still great.
Character Development. The characters were developed very well. By the end of the film you felt as if you knew the characters as well as you would had you known them in person. Moreover, all the characters were very likable.
Storyline. The story (as you could tell from the trailer) deals with Princess Merida trying to escape her fate of marrying awkward princes that she does not care for, fighting a bear, and trying to undo a spell. The real heart of the story though, is in the conflict and love between Merida and her mother, the queen. I won't say more or I'll have to add a spoiler alert, but rest assured that the storyline is quite good and well developed.
Child Friendliness. For the most part it is child friendly. There isn't really any blood, gore, or bad language that I can remember. There are, however, a few moments that you should be aware of if you have young children. Due to strange circumstances you do see some of the men walking by with their rears exposed. There are one or two more similar moments.
Overall, here is my opinion. The movie is touching, funny, exciting, and interesting. 10/10 stars
