Brave takes Pixar into a new land, and not only Scottish culture, but one geared to a more adult crowd. It also focused the film around two female characters in a mother-daughter relationship, something not done very often, nor done this well.
The characters were all very well developed, with their attitudes and mannerisms matching their physical appearance. The voices were also really well done, and made for greatly entertaining characters. This was done so well that you actually felt for them as they experienced their separate challenges and trials. The story that develops between the mother and the daughter is done so well because of the great job they did in developing the separate characters.
The interesting thing about the film was how the "opposition" was not a foreign nation, an evil king or any physical being, but was the barrier raised between the mother and daughter. Many a man can relate to such a barrier, and is more realistic than many movie villains, yet Pixar still expertly created the great bear "Maudi" to be a physical representation of what happens when you let those pride barriers stand erect too long. A great establishment of opposition. A+!!!
All around a fantastic movie. The only thing that left me disappointed was the 3D aspect. The scenery was nice in some shots, but overall I didn't get "drawn" into the world as 3D is suppose to do. It played a very backseat role and was largely unnoticed. It was also rather distracting on every single camera pan, as the whole shot would go blurry for an instant. Not sure if this was just the theater I was in, but it definably left some room for improvement. But, there is no such thing as a perfect movie, right? All around, very well done Pixar. You've done it again!
