Brave

Pixar's 13th feature might fall short of what is expected from the stable, but is still head and shoulders above most of its CG competitors.

"Brave" may fail to take hold of your heartstrings like it should but it is still worthy of the Pixar name.

You and your family are up for a good time with this movie, with laughs and a few surprises. The movie's real message is in the lengths Merida goes to to repair the damage her words and actions cause to her mother.

It's only flaw is that we know Pixar is capable of so much more.

This funny fantasy adventure with a twist gets a 4 thumbs up.
