Brave (3D)

Change your fate.

The lastest Disney/Pixar collaboration uses a very Disneyesque plotline with Pixar's usual brilliant animation. We follow the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong princess. Determined to change her fate, she defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land, unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she asks an eccentric witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing danger forces her to harness all of her resources to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery. This film is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 3D version. Note: the 3D version is a little dark.

What the Critics say
Cape Times Todd McCarthy The entire project lacks imaginative leaps and a sense of fun.	10
Box Office David Ehrlich One can only hope that Merida's adventure empowers young women to take charge of their fate and write their own stories, because Brave is proof that the world could use some new ones.	8
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The good news is that the kids will probably love it, and the bad news is that parents will be disappointed if they're hoping for another Pixar groundbreaker.	15
ReelViews James Berardinelli At first glance, Brave seems much like an old-fashioned animated Disney princess film done using new-fangled technology.	13
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Decently entertaining but not in the same mold as Pixar's classic offerings	12
