CONTENT: IS ‘BRAVE’ SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN? ‘Brave’ highlights Pixar’s versatility and setting a movie in a much more realistic world helps ground their other tales, even if they are about talking cars and monsters! Merida is a princess to root for and definitely one for young girls to look up to and, with more kids’ movies supporting strong female leads, the official recognition and popularity of Merida’s strength of character will encourage others to follow suit. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise great story that shows just how strong girls and women can be, even when everyone around them tells them that they are weak. It’s the slightly jarring contrast between modern sensibilities and the realities of the time.

As Merida’s selfish actions cause devastating consequences for her mother, it is a shame that Elinor doesn’t get a scene to fully speak of her younger days and experiences so that Merida can understand her mother’s motives. Unfortunately while Merida is strong-willed and determined, her attitude towards her mother, Elinor, makes her appear petulant, especially as her mother genuinely wants what’s best for her and never really gets the opportunity to explain her reasons to her daughter before getting shut down each time. Merida’s motivations to avoid being married off to a stranger for political reasons are perfectly understandable and one that audiences can get behind.

‘Brave’ is also the first time Pixar gave us a female led tale with Merida: the clan princess who fights against her apparent destiny as a wife and mother, preferring instead a life of adventure, full of weapons and more masculine pursuits. Setting the story in Medieval Scotland was an unusual choice when their other movies have had little focus on the where the characters live (even in Ratatouille, Paris was merely a backdrop and not a central plot point) so having a story steeped in history and folklore was an unexpected move. The incredible animation style that they are famous for was completely rewritten to accomplish even more realistic, beautiful and complex visuals than ever before. Pixar is no stranger to accolades and awards so winning the Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA for Best Animated Feature Film for ‘Brave’ was unsurprising. Starring: Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson
