I’ve seen Elinor described as the villain in other reviews, but I just didn’t see that. I could see both their points of view, and felt sympathetic towards both of them. The relationship with her mother is more complicated, with some good scenes near the beginning setting up both their bond and their conflict. Merida’s father is fun-loving and indulgent, and he and Merida have a good rapport. It’s also nice to see a Disney princess with both parents.
Wrede’s Enchanted Forest books, not quite a proper princess and more interested in other things than being one.
She reminds me more of Princess Cimorene from Patricia C. Some of the themes remind me of Pocahontas, with the struggle between responsibility and freedom, but Merida feels more vivid and more sure of herself. She’s possibly the strongest Disney princess I can think of. Merida gets a spell from a witch to change her fate, and of course, everything goes horribly awry. Their dispute comes to a head when three other clans arrive with some very unattractive princes, here to compete for Merida’s hand. Merida dreams of running free among the hills. Her mother Elinor, the clear power beside the throne, wants to teach her to be a proper lady and assume the responsibilities of a leader. It was like the best of Disney met the best of Pixar and it came out amazing.īrave is set in Medieval Scotland, and focuses on Merida, the daughter of a clan chieftain.
#BRAVE 2 DISNEY MOVIE#
I loved the movie on just about every level–the characters, the animation, the plot, the music. I already bought the soundtrack, and will probably get the DVD when it comes out. I still haven’t seen Cars 2, Pixar’s last offering, but I went to see Brave this past weekend. I’ve been looking forward to Brave for months.
