IS BRAVE A SCARY COMING-OF-AGE TALE ABOUT A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER?
This excellent Disney/Pixar coming-of-age tale is mildly scary at times, entertaining and original. Due to the themes, Brave is honestly best for Mother’s Day.
Storyline
Princess Merida is tired of having her life planned out by her traditional mother, who she shares a difficult relationship with. After meeting an elderly witch who plants a curse in a cake that will change her fate, she journeys to reverse the curse that turned her mother into a beast.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Brave is an exceptional example of Disney and Pixar’s wonderful coming-of-age tale, mother-daughter disputes theme and beautiful originality. Before going any further, it’s worth making clear that this animated adventure-fantasy for families is arguably the best suited movie for Mother’s Day simply because of the highlighted concerns and morals.
With unforgettable animation work providing outstanding visuals and a cast syncing their desirable voices of Scottish accents with the characters, Brave is already a film that animation lovers truly want to see. On the other hand is an amazingly original story consisting of a princess wanting to change the tradition by simply changing the perspective of her mother. This movie has some utterly creative ideas and touches that make it memorable.
It’s hard to compare this film with some of the other motion pictures produced by Pixar and released by Disney, because the outstanding concept does have a few very minor pacing issues that kids and almost everyone will likely not notice or immediately forget. The main morals are the relationship and arguments between a mother and daughter, and it’s difficult to improve it.
