It's a classic princess tale, a wish backfire, very Disneyesque, and yet with absolutely amazing animation. Merida's hair, the landscapes, just stunning stuff. It's funny, colorful and moving, just like you'd expect. It's fairly predictable actually, but the 3D animation is so dazzling that it kept my attention. And Merida is a great character, another might warrior princess, arguably the strongest so far.
T felt it was the best Pixar yet, just behind Wall-E for her. I'm on the fence as I loved both Wall-E and Up. Brave is definitely up there as one of the best ones for me....mostly because there's sword fights (ok, not much of one, but there are a lot of medieval weapons, so it's all good).
Enjoyed the La Luna short too. And there was a live demonstration of Highland dancing and bagpipe by the San Jose troupe.
This would make a great double feature with Secret of the Kells.
