The mother learns to relax somewhat, letting her daughter mature into adulthood and likely marriage at her own pace. The daughter comes to see the mother’s view of things in why rules and responsibility are important. That said, Brave is an excellent movie for mothers and daughters of all ages old enough to handle the scary parts. When the men are stranded on the roof of the tower so the princess and her transformed mother can escape, their only solution is sure to delight young children. The party after the contest is also full of hilarious scenes, including the warrior father being reprimanded by the mother for fighting with grown men. This series of scenes is hilarious, from breaking stereotypes to the mooning scene shown in many movie trailers. The three young men from the other clans are competing for the hand of the princess. Nor did the movie take the insulting tack that the teenager is always smarter, better and more competent than the adults. There is little raunchy humor, though a tactful mooning scene left my son rolling in the aisles. Fortunately, except for a couple of bare butts, there is no nudity. The three troublemaking little brothers provided much of the comic relief of this film. To quote from the ending, “Fate is what you make it,” and this movie beautifully reaffirms personal responsibility for one’s actions. It included some magic, but the magic is not glorified. I like the fact that this movie is set in medieval Scotland without throwing in an endless stream of pop culture references, a mistake that made Shrek dated and increasingly irrelevant. This makes the magic answering machine scene as beautiful as it is funny. It’s a beautiful film with fine details and layered scenery that are pleasant to watch. Nor did the movie seem to throw in scenes specifically for designer 3D effects. The 2D version of the movie was as immersive as the 3D version. It seemed to have a realistic feel to the animation that was akin to “Avatar”. Pixar’s Brave is revolutionary for its amazing animation. However, if you have a baby that is going to sleep through the film, you shouldn’t bring a young child to it. A short review of the movie is that it is a timeless classic movie that will be re-released in twenty years for another generation of mothers and daughters (and sons, too). I took my nine year old and six year old children to see the Disney Pixar Brave movie along with my mother in law.
