Brave

The new film from Pixar, it doesn't have to be such an event every time anymore. "Cars 2" was a bit disappointing and I think "Brave" also caused quite a uncertainty because it wasn't the usual Pixar topic. But what actually is it? These people have an incredible scope. This time too, they managed to create something new, although even with "Brave" they didn't avoid the flaws that they encountered in the previous film. "Brave" is an original film, which is positive. After two sequels, there is a film that is completely new. It is set in Scotland, the main character is a young princess who doesn't want to submit to her mother and the main story... And here is where the disappointment came for me. Actually, I didn't know what it was about, but I liked the idea of a young Scottish girl running around the highlands, shooting her bow and not allowing herself to be tied down. A bit like Jane Austen combined with "Braveheart". In terms of animation, "Brave" is perfect. You rarely see such a beautiful landscape even in reality. At times, you have the feeling that you are watching a documentary and not an animated film. But this is what is expected from Pixar. Perfect animation is their motto, and that's why they are ahead of other studios. However, Pixar is also expected to have a great story. This time, it... It's good, but too moralizing. The family is presented as a relic, which is a bit disturbing. But the film definitely doesn't lack humor. There are moments when you really laugh, but it must be said that several times I remembered the fairy tale "Tangled", which in my opinion was even funnier. So "Brave" is not bad, but I feel like it's just average for Pixar. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/09/rebelka-perfect-sense-sprosty-holky.html (02/26/2013)

Pixar's 13th feature film. It's not quite what it needs to be, though the basic premise is good. The lamplighters took an old Gaelic legend retold by Robert San Souci's Brave Margaret, threw in a little something of their own, and the first Scottish princess was born. Although it has good jokes here and there, it fails to evoke a sufficiently magical atmosphere. However, certain rebellious girls might like it. (04/05/2020)

A fairy tale for children... well, why not, a successful one. But I put it on at the kind of time when you’re pleasantly tired and you don't want to see anything drastic or "deep". That's why I reached for Brave, I thought it would be perfect for such a moment. Well, it probably would have been, but I didn't like her story – I was expecting something a bit different. I laughed here and there, but otherwise I was bored. I watched two acts – after 50 minutes I turned it off and went to go read instead. I gave it another chance in the morning, but I still wasn't into the lecturing about how important mothers and family are. After all, I don't need to be lectured about that (which is probably why I didn't like it for the most part – I'm not fond of those particular stories where the main character/woman wishes things were different just because they're screwed up at the moment). Even though I’m giving it a low rating, I would definitely recommend watching it. And the heroine really did have great hair. (05/05/2013)

Good enough for one viewing, but afterwards I laughed out loud at the thought of ever watching Brave again. An animated average that doesn't entertain as well as an adult would expect it to, and it’s only really good as part of a children's programme during the lazy Christmas holidays. It’s a shame.

The first Pixar film that can be talked or written about as a fairy tale. That is not a bad thing. Especially after the super action-packed Cars 2, it was time to take a breather, so a nice story (with a dull message) came in handy. The perfect technical aspect is a matter of course, but the "adult" humor has somewhat diminished and Brave is rather a showcase of various visual or almost sitcom gags. (11/20/2012)
