Brave (2012)
Directors: Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman
Starring: Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly
UK Release Date: 13th August 2012
Why did i ever doubt Pixar? Ok it's not their best film, but that would need an extremely good film to beat!! Brave is what a family film should be, serious issues wrapped up in a wonderfully visual world and with plenty of visual gags to keep you entertained. The film is based around a not so classic mother daughter relationship set in medieval Scotland and is Pixar's second venture into the real world, after the splendid Up. Of course the setting in Scotland means a stellar British cast including Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Robbie Cultrane and Billy Connolly. The core story line is nothing new but is still rather heartwarming and thankfully the main (and superb) twist was somehow not ruined by the promotional material released for the film. The final third of the film is made all the better for this twist (which i will absolutely not ruin!!) and is by far the most entertaining portion of the film and the ending will guarantee you'll leave the film with your heart warmed. So while nothing spectacular in terms of innovation Brave is still a lovely family film, would suggest watching with parents, and maybe even a good idea for a Christmas gift ;)
