Brave

A young Scottish princess battles against tradition, her countrymen, and most trying of all, her mother. As she struggles to understand her own role and what is required of her she comes to the realization of what is most important.

This was cute. Not Pixar's best, nor their worst, nevertheless I was not expecting the story at hand. I went in ready to see a Scottish version of Mulan and ended up with a sort of Beauty and the Beast meets Brother Bear. Yeah, weird right? Anyway as I said before, it was cute. The characters are well developed and take fun liberties with the Scottish culture.

This could be a tad scary for the wee ones while there are several intense fight scenes. Also it may not be able to hold a captive audience, young or old, as it does kind drag in the third act.

Overall fine family fun.

*** Must See
Rated PG (for violence)
