A New Favorite Of Mine...

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2012)

Ever since we started seeing previews for this movie, in February, I was excited to see it, in theaters. When the day finally came around, my mom, brother and I went to a late 2D showing. (not a big 3d fan) From the very beginning of the movie, when the "demon bear Mor'Du" attacks, to the end credits, I felt very pulled in by the storyline. There were a lot of suspenseful moments. A few crude jokes that were more for the amusement of older viewers. But, overall, I thought it was a fantastic movie.
I thought that Merida's character was very well understood, from a viewer's point. Her witty sarcasm and goofy antics made for a very interesting and entertaining main character. The little brothers, who always caused trouble were hilarious throughout the movie. Honestly, it was hard not to laugh, at quite a few scenes.
As a person, who enjoys Disney/Pixar films and is not a big fan of movies like 'American Pie', I thought that this was suitable for kids but, also very good fun for young adults, like myself. My mom was even laughing at most of it. There were quite a few adults walking out by themselves, with no kids, to the showing before ours.
It's a good movie to take the kids to. But, also, not what you'd expect from Disney/pixar, which makes it a bit unexpected. The soundtrack, including the score has great music and really adds to the movie.
It's definitely a new favorite of mine!
