A princess from the wilds of Scotland, Merida, rebels against her parents by chasing her passion for archery—but her quest for independence accidentally puts her father's entire kingdom at risk. To fix the mess she's made, Merida will have to face down unpredictable forces of nature, ancient magic, and a dark, looming curse....

Quote : Since Ancient Times , stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through The generations across The rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to The uproarious lords of The Land : Massive lord MacGuffin , surly lord Macintosh and cantankerous lord Dingwall . Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover The meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

How to Train Your Dragon?

What? That's what this reminds you of? 🤷

Rachel Young3 said:What? What does that remind you of? 🤷

Yeah, doesn't it remind you? Same premise, similar characters, the whole mythology thing...

No clue, I haven't seen that one yet.

This one looks alright to me. The trailer seems fun and the characters look adorable...

Honestly, I don't need anything else from animation.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Scotland and its highland culture, so I am seriously looking forward to this 3D animation.

Judging by the trailer, this looks like a genuinely fun and witty film. I'm really hoping it can ride the coattails of Puss in Boots' success.🙂

Fresh trailer/clip just dropped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW5JC...layer_embedded

I am genuinely looking forward to this animation😍 the plot, the characters, even the setting in Scotland😍

It doesn't really strike me as being similar to How to Train Your Dragon, to be honest🤷
but Rachel Young3, since you mentioned you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely must check it out😉
If you ask me, it looks perfect😍

The movie was a massive letdown.

It actually started off fun—stayed decent for maybe half the runtime.

Then, out of nowhere, her mom just magically changed into a bear without any real logic behind it. Suddenly, the whole thing feels like a cheap Disney version of Brother Bear.

Plus, the setting isn't even Scotland—it’s some totally made-up land that they randomly stuffed with Scottish motifs for no reason.

It started off fun and engaging, staying on track for maybe half the runtime.

Then, out of nowhere and without any real logic, her mother magically changed into a bear . Suddenly, the whole thing feels less like its own story and more like a cheap imitation of Disney's Brother Bear.

Plus, the setting isn't even in Scotland—it’s some totally made-up land that just happens to have random Scottish motifs thrown in for no reason.

Thanks a ton for the massive, unannounced spoiler.

Just a heads-up—the movie basically goes downhill from that point. If you're bringing kids, be ready for the inevitable:

"When can we go home?"
"When is this over?"—you know the drill.

And honestly, just let them leave. You’ll only end up ruining whatever part of the movie they actually managed to watch.

So, I have to wonder, is there actually any theater out there showing a version that isn't dubbed over? 😠

Is the Crow gay?

Such a great movie!

Total Pixar flop. Honestly, aside from the main character, there wasn't a single thing about this movie that I actually enjoyed. I have to admit, I found the whole animation to be incredibly tedious and just plain boring. 🙂

Just caught this on HBO, watched the dubbed version.

It’s a solid animation. A bit short, and honestly, gets a little heavy toward the end, but definitely worth a watch.

How on earth can anyone criticize an animated film😕? Who even does that??🤔

Normal people, obviously.

Hey, does anyone else remember this movie? I still vividly recall what the marketing blitz was like when it first hit theaters. Honestly, it’s always been one of those weaker entries from Disney or Pixar...
