A Princess's wish goes awry and results in a near disaster before the lesson is learned. This is the first Pixar I've seen that is more like Disney standard than an animation studio Dreamworks is afraid of. Animation is fine, but the two things that stand out as Disney is the singing (twice)and the typically Disney rebellious leads to disastrous story line. All the funny stuff you have seen in the trailers with nary a clue what the real story line is. The actual story has to do with witchcraft and Merida (the princess) changing the queen into a bear. That its a bear is significant in several ways, not all of them immediately apparent. While the individual characters play well the story seems to get stale before its finished being served up despite its cool simple complexities. I was struck with a sense of deja vu that is likely attributable to the number of movies I watch so I will refrain from running down a list of movies the different details could have been lifted from. Still its a worthy viewing experience though I think younger children may start getting bored before the climatic finale'.
I found this to be a fine movie, not a young childs movie but a perfect pre-tee(before they are sure parents are all idiots)This is obvious however I do recommend this movie to Mom's and their girl children.
