Okay I guess

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2019)

It's okay. Definitely a Disney movie, but below Pixar's usual standard.
As a princess, Merida is required to act and behave a certain way. But Merida chafes against the bit, so to speak, and it results in a strained relationship with her mother. After a big fight with her mother Eleanor, Merida escapes into the forest to be alone and stumbles across a witch, who gives her some food, claiming it will change her mother. But the witch forgot one little problem - and it does change the mother.
Into a bear.
And Merida is given a task to complete before the second sunrise, otherwise her mother will permanently be a bear.
The CGI is pretty good.
It has great themes and I love the lessons that Merida and her mother learn throughout the course of this movie.
The climax is amazing. Emotionally resonant and strong and very suspenseful. I heavily applaud it and the genuinely funny beginning.
The woman who voices Merida, I've forgotten her name, does an excellent job in playing her role and she makes Merida really relatable and you sympathize with her, but also with her mother as well, even though they are at odds.
But, I found it dark and I just couldn't enjoy it as much as other Disney Pixar movies.
Overall, an okay movie. Give it a go.
