After 17 years of feature filmmaking and 12 box-office hits, Pixar has - ta-da! - entered the big business of little girls. More to the point and to the movie’s marketing, she is Pixar’s first female protagonist, which means that there’s a lot more riding on her head than that ginger mop. Merida is active instead of passive, a doer rather than a gal who hangs around the castle waiting for Prince Charming to rescue her. Then again, Rapunzel has a supernice head of hair too.įrom her wild and woolly locks to her Clydesdale, the gorgeous high-stepper Angus on whom she races across the softly rendered Scottish hills and glens, Merida has been created as somewhat of an anti-Rapunzel (at least before Rapunzel received a girl-power makeover for Disney’s 2010 movie “ Tangled”). There’s so much beauty, so much untamed animation in this hair that it makes Merida look like a hothead, a rebel, the little princess who wouldn’t and didn’t.

A rich orange-red the color of ripe persimmon, Merida’s hair doesn’t so much frame her pale, creamy face as incessantly threaten to engulf it, the thick tendrils and fuzzy whorls radiating outward like a sunburst. While I cannot gurantee you will love this film as much Up or Toy Story 3 you will at least like it and who knows maybe you will love it more than I did because this is a good film.The riotous mass of bouncy curls that crowns Merida, the free-to-be-me heroine of the new Pixar movie, “Brave,” is a marvel of computer imagineering. If you want to see a film with a female protagonist set in Irealnd with decent story and characters check Brave out. While the film is not the best thing I saw this year it was still good.

Hopefully, Pixar gets their groove back for their next film. While I feel like the film could have been a lot better I think it is good enough.

The story and characters are good enough and a lot better than you see in a lot of kids films these days. While I do not think it is one of Pixar’s best it is still a good film.
