2/21/2023 0 Comments Brave movie 2021 release date![]() ![]() I’d be pretty pissed too.Ī swash-buckling tale without a main squeeze or a bad guy? Brave safely chooses to go the mother/daughter route. ![]() If anything he’s just a big bad beast out in the woods who just keeps getting attacked by Scots. Mor’du the monstrous bear hardly qualifies as a villain. ![]() On the other hand, there are several baffling elements introduced here that seem to buck tradition and reason – there is no Prince Charming or love interest at all actually, for example. On one hand, you have these very familiar conventions – a princess, a loving buffoon of a father, the wicked mother, the evil enchantress.all characters we've seen before. The problems with Brave are numerous, but most glaring of all is this uninspired story in which all else orbits around. Merida has two days to reverse the spell and can only do so if she “repairs a bond.” Instead, her mother is cursed and transformed into a bear. Upon meeting up with a mysterious old woman (think.oh, you get the point) she feeds her mother a tart given to her by the witch, thinking that it will change the Queen’s mind about Merida's future. Not wanting to accept her fate, she has a fall-out with her mother.think pretty much any Disney tale. ![]() Years later when Merida is a teenager, she is to be married, and each of the local clan leaders present their sons as potential suitors.think Cinderella. The King loses his leg in the attack and the bear escapes to the forest.think Captain Hook (or Moby Dick if you'd prefer). Merida is still just knee-high when her father and his clan gets attacked by a vicious and legendary bear, Mor’du. She’s more of a tomboy though, feeling better suited with a bow in her hands than in her hair. They try to raise Merida as an appropriate princess. Her loving father is the King of their Scottish kingdom, and her mother the Queen is over-protective and proper. Princess Merida is the heroine at the center, her flowing red curls more lifelike than ever (man is this animation getting good nowadays). Sadly this time out - in the case of story, character and theme - Brave is a befuddled mess of tired Disney yarns that never seems to untangle effectively. You can’t fault them for trying to stay on the cutting edge. ![]()
