Latest offering from Disney/Pixar is first to feature a female lead.
Like so many Disney/Pixar classics, “Brave” is a love story, but is unusual because it is the story of love between a mother and daughter and the quest by the daughter to change her fate. “Brave” begins with a film score reminiscent of those before it. Set in the highlands of 10th century Scotland, a beautiful red head, tomboy, and skilled archer named Merida learns the life of a princess, complete with a litany of what a princess will and won’t do. It is on the rare days when she “doesn’t have to be a princess," though, that Merida, whose voice is provided by Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald, is most complete and happy.
