It turns out Brave is good.

Don't listen to Tommy.

Brave has good parts, but overall isn't that great. Listen to Tommy.

(the best part is Merida's hair)

It probably depends how you're evaluating it.

It has great scenery, great animation, great music, great characters, great exposition...

...but a pretty weak plot.
Like, if you were to sum up the plot of the movie in a sentence, it would look dumb.
You'd wonder how they chose it.
But that's just one weak element nestled in the center of greatness.

I prob agree about Merida's hair, fyi, but I might be biased.

Wall•E

Also, Brave was awesome, but I'll concede that the plot wasn't the deepest. Looking at other Pixar movies, though, they're not all a bunch of plot gems, either. "Toy gets jealous when he's replaced, gets lost, and has to find his way home." "Single father fish loses his son and goes on wacky misadventures to rescue him." "A family of superheroes fights crime when people don't like superheroes anymore."

Brave was great because of all the things Cheston said. After watching it, my girlfriend also pointed out that she really dug how they did a mother-daughter plot and that Pixar's never really handled something like that before. I hadn't really thought about it, but the only strong female characters in Pixar films are Jessie, Dori, Eve, Elastigirl, and now Merida and Elinor. With 13 films and only 6 strong female characters, it's nice to see them try a different perspective.

And, again, everything Cheston said.

My problem with Brave, and maybe this was partially due to just the trailers showing everything, but I found the first act just very staid and uninteresting. I realize it was setting up the whole story, but i felt it could have been done some more things that were more attention grabbing. I felt the last act had a great conclusion, but the buildup to it was weak, and not just in a plot sense.

I guess I was too busy being mesmerized by the CG in the first act, but I didn't really pick up much of the story from the trailers. I knew there were bears and the girl was doing something with her fate, but I really dug that the trailers only showed the first in much detail.

funnie how erryone is like "wow this is a feminist landmark!!!!!! a movie with a mother-daughter relationship!!!!"
but
I've only seen one person complain about the part where the
kid dives into his maid's boobs to get a key
(a maid who only runs around screaming like an idiot)
fucking
pixar fans

and it used to be "pixar is only *now* making a movie with a female protagonist?! shame on pixar." back when only ppl who actually cared about things were talking about brave
now that it's out erryone's like "wow!!! pixar's first female protagonist!!! they're really dragging cinema into the 21st century!!!"

plus pixar fired brave's female director and got a male one
and this was around the time when people were excited about kung fu panda 2's director being a woman AND not being white

people were complaining about this back in the day
but now people are saying shit like
"brave's first director was a mother, so she really understood the mother-daughter relationship!"
and not giving a shit that she was
fired

dreamworks has had 2 female directors so far (one of them was the one who was fired by pixar!!!)
the first animated feature ever (that's survived) was directed by a woman
and yet
pixar is supposed to be
progressive somehow

also pixar is
horrible re: labour
and its movies have more conservative messages than even lots of disney ones (but wait!!!! wall*e was a movie about how the environment is good and garbage is bad! truly a first for animation!)
it's
amazing that
people are willing to like pixar w/o shame

Uh, so me liking the movie was neither increased nor decreased by any of that.
I don't give a crap about behind-the-scenes politics, unless it's something truly awful like a sweatshop where they kill manatees.

Also I don't get what's so wrong/boring about the first act. That was the best stuff! It was when they were establishing the characters and settings and all.

I agree that it's cool that the trailers ignored the primary plot, but maybe they did that because it's not a ticket-seller.

I would much rather have had a story where she runs away, lives on her own, and fights bears/spirits.
Not enough exile imo.

I just mean, the trailers did a good job not spoiling the twist (bear), but either they overcovered the first act to the point that I didn't feel much wonderment/excitement, or just there wasn't much there to do that in the first place. The competition was supposed to be the big climax, but that was already shown in it's entirety.

I just feel that with Pixar's fame they probably could have been a little more vague with what they were showing and still done similarly. if they wanted to keep it actiony they could have showed her being attacked by the bear without spoiling anything.

Finding Nemo.

The protagonist of Ratatouile was a jerk. He was the only person who could save his family from poisoning, and he just abandonded them be a chef. Following your dream is nice and all but not if it's gonna kill your whole family.

It was also boring. I think I abandoned watching it, or at least skipped parts.

more like rataphooey

Monsters, Inc., probably.

The Incredibles is probably a "better" movie with a more developed plot and characters and themes and all that crap, but it has stuff that bugs me and the characters aren't as likable. The only thing that bugs me about Monsters, Inc. is that it ends.
