Leave your thoughts about Brave.
| TheShiznit.co.ukAli GrayBrave strives above all else to make an emotional connection, and boy does it connect: a hugely atmospheric fairytale of old, it's Pixar's most mature movie to date. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezBrave has a manic, almost daffy energy and sense of humor. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanThe main problem is that Merida craves adventure but Brave limits her to mother-daughter psychodrama. |
| We Got This CoveredKristal CooperA film that truly lives up to its name, Brave gives animated princesses a much-needed reboot. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka genuinely moving exploration of a complex mother-daughter relationship |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersMerida comes off as a slightly more enlightened version of Jasmine, the discontented princess in Aladdin. And though she doesn't need a handsome young prince to make her whole, she ultimately learns that mother (as a stand-in for father) knows best. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashPlenty of adventure, laughs and Pixar's quality animation. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAn excellent movie, and one that I'd rank among the top half of Pixar's output thus far. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereTo the list of great computer-generated characters we have enjoyed from Pixar, we can now add the free-spirited Princess Merida of Brave. |
| ResponseJeffrey OverstreetWe've been conditioned to expect a familiar message: 'Follow your heart! You can do anything you set your mind to.' Brave is a rare and wonderful exception. |
