So i met up with two friends yesterday morning for an early showing of Brave.
I must say, i already came in expecting to like this movie, because-- finally a redhead female main protagonist. I mean, i really did enjoy it more than i thought it would.
The real story about the main girl Merida mending a bond with her mother. How she mends it is quite unexpected!
It did made me cry (as all the mother/daughter stuff does get me fairly emotional~ ;o;)
But I do recommend it. I think it does a great job of blending comedy with serious tones, as Pixar tends to do.
And thank the stars, there are no idiotic pop culture references thrown in there like so many other animated films (shrek) tend to do. :)
Go see it with your kid, or with your friends, or be that guy in the corner with their popcorn and helmet soda. I really think you'll have a great time!!
Haven't seen Brave (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217209/) yet but I've never seen a bad Pixar film yet.
Did you know that Pixar will now only accept story proposals from Pixar staff that have worked on at least one whole previous Pixar movie?
Husband and I took T to see Brave yesterday. We all really liked it. I love Pixar because I think that they make movies that the whole family can enjoy. Trust me, as someone who has seen He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword about elevenity billion times in the past several months, I appreciate a movie that is actually watchable to people over the age of 8.

I'm glad you liked it!!
I appreciate a movie that has realistic characters. Even if you can't relate to the situation, you can relate to their feelings and emotions
It made me miss my mom so terribly, but i enjoyed the movie immensely. :)

I didn't know that.
I do know, however, that no Pixar movie has ever grossed below 100mil.
I like Pixar movies/animations, hopefully this one will air during a promotional afternoon session in a movie theater. :)
My wife took two of our grandkids to see it Saturday. They loved it. We have a brand new theater in our little city and it's really nice.

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed.
I sometimes wonder how long Pixar can keep it up. In my opinion, the only of their movies that wasn't epic was Cars 2. Otherwise they just keep hitting home run after home run.
Toy Story 1, 2 and 3- all awesome
Bugs Life
Incredibles
Monsters Inc (and its planned prequel Monsters University (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1453405/))
Ratatouille
Finding Nemo
Cars
Wall-E
Up
And now Brave, which I've yet to see but seems to be getting good word of mouth reviews.
It really is tremendous the success they've had over nearly 20 years. Not including Brave, which is still in theaters, all 12 movies are on the top 50 grossing animated movies of all time, and Brave appears to be well on its way to the list after only a week. :o
