Brave - The Movie from Pixar

Dear All

We just caught the movie "Brave" from Pixar.



The movie is about 1.5h long. It's a simple story about a teenage girl who loves her mom but can't take the stifling parenting of her mom. She wants to be herself. Sounds familiar right especially to those with teenagers :)

It is will this tug-of-war and conflict with her mom that Merida runs from home in a blind state and made a bargain that she soon regrets. The consequences of her rash action was dire as it affects her entire family.

Personally, I find it's not Pixar's best in terms of story line. However, the digital technology of Merida's hair, (she's the eldest and only daughter of the king & queen of ancient scotland) is truly amazing. I read in the papers that each strand of Merida's red circlet hair is unique and unfurled is very long (I can't remember the length, but it's long).

See her ringlets of hair! Reminds me of Anne of Green Gables! Both red-haired girls! :)

There are some cute scenes like Merida's little triplet brothers, all red-haired, like her. The key characters of the movie is Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor.

Merida's parents - King Fergus and Queen Elinor

We didn't stay till the end of the credits, as it was pretty late (we watched the last show of the day). If you do catch the movie, remember to stay on till the very end of all the credits for the post-credit scene, which we had missed.

It's a lovely way to spend time with the children during the Sep hols. I believe the movie is ending soon, so catch it before the hols are over, otherwise, you could always rent the DVD when it's out, and catch the post-credit scene, which I believe, most people had missed! :)
