I loved Brave. I really don’t get the mixed reviews.

  Felt the same way. It’s a more subtle movie than I guess people want.

I hated Brave. It was just like every other recent Disney Princess movie. ‘A strong -willed princess square peg is trying to be stuffed into a round hole by her parents. A dangerous act of rebellion by the princess turns into reconciliation and a deeper understanding and appreciation between parents and child” Awwww!!!!

  While a bit formulaic, what’s wrong with that?

  what? didn’t you just get it by the trailer? That’s exactly what the movie is about, with pluses. I recommend you watching it again, later.
  
  But I mean, don’t go see a movie with a bunch of expectations. Enjoy it for what it is…

I can’t wait for this film. My little one it chomping at the bit as well. Fun Fact – I’m a McKinley on my Mom’s Grandmas side, some how related to the president. Our tartan is – IMHO – a very attractive pattern. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mckinley/Tartan3.jpg

One more thing – what’s weird about this film is it appears both the mother and father are alive. How many films do they have where one or the other is dead?
