Brave is Pixar's attempt to tell a really traditional Disney fairy and conquer a position within

Brave is Pixar's attempt to tell a really traditional Disney fairy and conquer a position within the lucrative Disney Princesses franchise. For fans of the first hour feels maybe like a master chef to make an ordinary hamburger. But if someone knows something to surprise it's Pixar, right? Sorry. Despite many fresh ingredients, the Brave citizens burnt onto our plates.
Merida

Merida is the firstborn daughter of King Fergus bears. Under the rules of Pixar Scotland this means that the other three major clans of their firstborn son may offer to her. She can not decide who to choose her prince, only what needs to be kept for competition to determine the winner. Obviously Merida still has no desire to marry. She would like almost all the famous Disney princesses remain independent and enjoy it as long as possible her freedom. Moreover, her genteel mother Elinor makes the life of a queen is not very attractive because of its constant meddling. When she hits all targets in an archery contest itself, they not only remove the anger of her mother but from all clans on her neck. Upset she flees from the castle and find the hut of a witch. Which brews a while a potion that Merida can change her mother's mind. From there everything goes wrong ... actually the whole movie.

The above story sounds very familiar described, but in the past Pixar rarely stopped to do to take the next step. Only the Cars films are basically overlooked during most of the hymns of the studio. Unfortunately, Brave must also be added to that list outsiders. They bore no superlative for this fairly archetypal story; no vuilnisrobotje who travel to a space station with the remnants of the human race, no monsters holding a chase through hundreds of doors across the earth, not a small fish which is fished out of the water and ends up in Sydney. Only Merida, her mother and a spell that must be overcome by means of a cryptic solution that in the end still has a different meaning. In particular I would like Brother Bear cite as an example. Have you ever watched the movie, you've seen a lot of Brave.

It's actually quite died that such a narrow plot was chosen because the setting of Brave is promising. Pixar does not disappoint visually and puts a Scotland on the cloth who knows how to find the right balance between Disney magic and Celtic mythology. For this film, the studio focused mainly on refining the texture of hair and fabrics. The end result at Merida provides the most impressive forest reddish tresses will see your eyes ever. Other fine examples are the tapestries in Fergus' castle and bears coats. The human characters this time just slightly squarer shaped like Carl Fredricksen, the elderly protagonist of Up. The bickering clans care of the funniest scenes in Brave though they have never been very much affect the main story. Merida's parents fortunately, they are therefore excellently played by Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson. Kelly McDonald gives further Merida enough oomph it to win the audience. But that chewed twisted plot ...

All pluses aside earlier Brave remains a brave Disney movie for the merchandise department to get as much as possible to wrap products around it. You expect from such a modern epic movie title, or at least a touching tale that puts to think. The difficult relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter is central, but the great potential is rarely used in the film. Merida just get the morale at some point but spelled by her mother: "Legends Are Lessons". Undoubtedly Pixar us another couple of good lessons to learn in the future, but Brave is a very simple lesson.
