Pixar takes their talents to Scotland in this latest offering from the animation powerhouse. "Brave" is a beautifully animated, funny, and actually pretty touching story centered around the bond between mother and daughter. It's very different than Pixar's other offerings (it feels more like a traditional Disney princess movie) and the narrative stumbles a bit from time to time but ultimately the film finds its way behind an excellent voice cast and a genuinely emotional conclusion. While maybe not as dynamic and groundbreaking as some of the studio's beloved masterpieces, "Brave" manages to hold its own among the giants of the Pixar movie library.
