Very mediocre movie with a cute protagonist and a pretty generic, uninspired plot. The legend that's referred to in this movie, which I felt was one of the most interesting parts about it, is unfortunately only used as a plot device instead of explored much on its own.

Absolutely brilliant - from the animation to the plot, this is a wondrously stunning and entertaining film!! I loved the characters and the voicing, and I loved the action and adventure element of the film. Some scenes were honestly laugh out loud funny! This is one of my favorite animated films. Awesome.

The graphics is great on yet another Disney princess film. The film starts out with some deep themes. Mom attempts to mold Merida into her expectations of her being a princess. Merida is daddy's girl and a tomboy. When it comes times for suitors, the 15 year old rebels against her mother to win her freedom to choose her own life. This was all great as the classic female roles are being broken, a reflection of today's world. I was really enjoying the film.After this great start the film digresses into magic and witchcraft. Now I have nothing against either one, it is just at this point the film loses track of the theme and becomes needlessly silly and moves off into a new direction and creates a kids version of "The Monkey's Paw" i.e. be careful what you wish for. The preteen kids will enjoy it, I can't imagine adults getting too excited.

This is one of the movies that I actually still own on DVD because it is a movie I would always go back to. The movie is full of a funny scenes and it goes in depth of Scottish tradition and mystery, which I do think studying a culture is something Disney should do more often. As I said it's just a fun movie showing a different side to the basic Disney Princess stories and in my opinion it's what started off the franchise of strong Disney females.
