There are a lot of films I've seen that are greater than the sum of their parts but Brave is the rare film that seems less than the sum of its parts because I cannot point to anything in the film that's bad. The animation is spectacular and somewhat of a technological breakthrough that Pixar was crowing about prior to the film's release. The breathtaking Scottish Highlands were the first thing I noticed having such an amazing level of detail and organic feel. The only weakness I saw was that character movements are still somewhat jerky and mechanical. I didn't have any issues with the story or the music and I can't think of any individual scenes that weren't well done so why is it when the whole thing is put together it feels so Un-Pixar like?
I've done a lot of thinking about this and I believe one big factor in the failure to connect is due to the darkness of the film. I don't mean the darkness of the plot because quite frankly I think that Up, The Incredibles and WALL-E were darker. It's the physical darkness of the film particularly in the second half of the film. Most of the film takes place in a Scottish castle, at night, lit only by torches on the walls. From the moment Merida leaves the castle after getting in an argument with her mom until right near then end there are almost no well-lit scenes. This is not me saying that this makes the film bad. This is me saying why I believe it didn't connect with a lot of people. On the technical side it is a magnificently crafted film but it lacks the joy of many of the other Pixar films. I would compare it to Wreck-It-Ralph which also came out in 2012 and many might say should have won the Oscar. Wreck-It-Ralph was inventive, bright and full of energy.
I've actually discovered that with each additional viewing I enjoy the film more. It is a great film and Brenda Chapmen who wrote and co-directed the film should be proud. It made well over $500 million worldwide which although a bit light for a Pixar film is still a fantastic take. I'm not into the whole Disney Princess thing being an adult male and all but Merida is probably the best, most believable Princess ever to be produced by Disney/Pixar. She is tough and strong but Chapman didn't go overboard as often happens with writers overcompensating for the farer gender. I suspect it's because Chapman IS female that she didn't feel the need to make Merida tougher than any male (except in archery). Sadly Brenda Chapman left Pixar before the film was completed carrying some bitterness with her. It took me about three viewings to REALLY get into the spirit of the film but I now consider it a great addition to the Pixar filmography. I hope Brenda gets the chance to write and direct more theatrical releases.
The feminist aspects were also surrounding "Brave". It was their first film with a female lead after more than a decade of films with male leads. "Brave" got also some buzz of the directorial change. It was Brenda Chapman's lovechild, but she got replaced because of creative differences. Although Chapman herself has stated that her original visions of the tale was fulfilled, the replacements are barely mentioned in the special features. She still got credited as the secondary director, although one can't help to wonder if there was a bigger conflict about this story or if this conflict was enhanced by the media.
Either way, although I've always been not so fond of Pixar, they can deliver a masterpiece now and then ("Toy Story", "Finding Nemo", "Up"). "Brave" does come across a one of Pixar's strongest works, but is also hampered by some flaws. And some quite obvious flaws too. Moviegoers has grown to expect more from Pixar and many of them found the film to be conventional. The marketing device also misguided the film, depicting it as a grand adventure, when it really is an intimate, character-driven story in the second half.
Where "Brave" really excel is with the animation and the music. The animation is stunningly gorgeous, as is the music, setting a haunting atmosphere and giving the movie a special quality. The wonderful score is by Patrick Doyle, the songs written by Alex Mandel and they work well.
"Brave" is a departure from Pixar's previous works, not only because of it's setting, but it's scope. It definitively feels more Disney than Pixar at times, but that's doesn't necessarily hurts the film. I see nothing wrong about Pixar trying to go in Disney's territory and make a Princes movie long you do it with class and subtlety (damn me as much as you want to, Pixar fanboys). However, I still wished that Pixar would make more realistic-looking characters for once and expand their horizons in term of character designs.
Where "Brave" falls flat, it's in terms of it's story. It's quite conventional, as the matter of fact too conventional. The story is trite, cliched and really not particularly well structured. The film seems more of two separate stories incorporated into one. However, despite the story problems, "Brave" shall have praise for having a mother-daughter-related story in a fairy tale setting and not having a prince charming to save the day.
Another noteworthy component about "Brave" is the choice of having an all Scottish cast into the movie. It's easy to give Pixar some good points about that, although the Medieval Scottish would probably be not understandable for todays audiences. However, most of the voices are fine. Billy Connolly (who previously was in "Pocahontas") brings the warmth and joviality to King Fergus. Emma Thompson (who was in "Treasure Planet") brings dignity and subtlety to Queen Ellinor. Less successful is Kelly McDonald as the protagonist Merida herself, making Merida more grating and whiny than she needs to be. Otherwise, Julie Walters makes a fine witch. Steve Purcell makes a fun crow. Kevin McKidd makes a good Lord MacGuffin/Young MacGuffin. Craig Ferguson delivers some spunk to Lord Macintosh.
BONUS FEATURES
The film is filled with good bonus features. First up is a audio commentary by director Mark Andrews, co-director Steve Purcell, editor Nick Smith and story supervisor Brian Larsen. The four of them delivers an excellent commentary, covering all the topics of the story and the technical aspects, although Andrew's voice can be a little grating at times. But still another excellent commentary from Pixar.
LEGEND OF MOR'DU; A short which enhances the full story about Mor'Du (according to rumors that were around the Internet, the short was supposed to be included in the actual movie). It's a fine short, giving more purpose and weight to the story of Mor'Du and it's nice to see that it's mainly hand-drawn.
LA LUNA: A short and sweet Pixar film.
BRAVE OLD WORLD: A featurette that talks about the crew's visit to Scotland and the Scottish influences on the film. Although is mostly praise about the land and culture, it's still interesting.
MERIDA & ELINOR: A featurette that covers the characters and personalities of Merida and Elinor and their relationship. Chapman herself dominates most of the featurette. A quite engaging topic.
BEARS: A short featurette that covers the designs and animation aspects of Mor'Du and Queen Elinor as a bear. Short, but still quite interesting.
WONDER MOSS: A topic about how they created the moss in the movie. It's a little too technical, but still interesting.
MAGIC: Magic tells us about the magical aspects of the film, like the wisps and the witch and the fairy tale aspect. Quite enjoyable
CLAN PIXAR: A featurette that covers the folks at Pixar. A little more jovial and happy talk than what it needs to be.
ONCE UPON A SCENE: A featurette that delivers the many deleted scenes (and also indicates "Brave's" troubled production). It's interesting that Pixar decided to have many of the deleted scenes in one featurette, instead of having the deleted scenes themselves. However, it's still interesting to watch.
Disc two is also filled with many featurettes. First up is an alternative opening (a few shots that made into one of the trailers). While it's not fully animated, it's still an engaging shot.
FALLING WARRIORS: A featurette about the fighting scenes in the movie and how they got choreographed. Short, but interesting.
DIRTY HAIRY PEOPLE: A featurette which talks about the hair in the movie. Also short, but interesting
IT'S ENGLISH... SORT OF: This featurette talks about the use of the Scottish actors, the Scottish words and phrases used in the movie. Quite fun
ANGUS: About Merida's black horse, Angus and how to create the character.
THE TAPESTRY: About the tapestry that Queen Elinor makes in the film and how the creative team managed to create it.
Overall, "Brave" is hampered by some flaws and might be to conventional at times, but still makes a good movie to watch. It's easily one of the best animated movies yet on this decade.

Ce dessin animé a plus à toute la famille. A noter que le passage du début quand elle est poursuivie par un ours enragé nous a contraint à sortir pour la moins âgée du groupe qui a eu trop peur (elle avait 5 ans)
Dans un autre registre, je vous mets quelques uns des DVD que ma fille et moi avons préférés pour la tranche d'âge 4-8 ans, qui changent et complètent par leur message et/ou leur présentation des grosses productions grand public:

- Ernest et Célestine (César 2013 du meilleur film d'animation)

Articulo: Para los que tenemos un proyector 3D, este tipo de películas es imprescindible tenerlas en la colección. Como indica en la descripción, incluye la versión 2D en un disco bluray y la 3D en otro. Calidad de imagen y sonido excelentes por un precio muy asequible.
Totalmente recomendable.
