Brave

I got this for my grandson having seen some of the trailers and reviews and not being able to get to the cinema, We both enjoyed it, I thought the animation was superb and the story line had elements of the old fashion fairy tales we used to read, had lots of humour, some of it slightly naughty, but at the right level, some scary bits and some weepy bits, a really good mixture, also loved the fact that it was set in my native country and not to honey coated...there are quite a few Scottish words which some might not understand fully, but that is part of the fun. I gave it 5 stars as I honestly thought it was one of the best tales I've seen in a long time. I have no doubt it will be watched time and again... My grandson really enjoyed it but I think I enjoyed it even more...

Great condition Very good quality and and a very good price 👍 I would recommend this seller thanks 😊

I am not the target audience for this kind of film but I found it very pleasing. The voices were outstandingly good and the animation was extraordinary. It avoids all that cloying gooiness that often spoils animations. There is always a bit of sentimentality in films like this but nothing I couldn't handle. All the elements of the story set in some idealised medieval period came together in a way that suspended disbelief. The colours and textures are as vivid as anything I've ever seen in an animation and the animals have a sinuous living quality. The music was good and the story had some of the darkness of a real fairy tale. The central character Merida is a good strong heroine to counterbalance all that Barbie crap that little girls have to contend with. The little brothers didn't appeal so much because they were too cute. I bought it for my sister's 9 year old but I haven't heard how she liked it yet. The voice acting was superb and made this one of the best feature length animations I've seen.

A new movie from Pixar. Moving away from sequels and adverts for Cars merchandise for now, they return once more to a wholly original story. Which is always when they are at their strongest. Long ago in Scotland, there lives a young princess called Merida. Being strong willed and free spirited and a brilliant Archer aren't quite the qualities usually required to be a dutiful princess and a good wife. But when the time comes for her to do her duty to her family and marry the son of a rival monarch, the prospect doesn't appeal to her. An attempt to change her fate leads to problems for her family, and the fate of her kingdom hangs in the balance. Can she deal with a deadly monster who almost once killed her father, and set things right? Brave features truly beautiful animation - Merida's long curly red hair being a particular stand out. It has superb scenery, brought to the screen with eye catching visuals. A great voice cast, most of whom are either Scottish or English. The role of the King fits Billy Connolly down to a tee and he's superb in the part. And it does have a storyline with a few interesting twists and turns along the way. It does also feature Merida's three younger brothers, who are rascally tearaways. They may appeal to young children but older individuals might find them annoying. There are also themes of destiny and life lessons that do feel just a little familiar. So it's not quite up there with the greatest pixar releases. But it's a fun and entertaining piece of film making that is lovely to look at and offers many delights, so it's definitely worth getting. Do be sure to watch to the very end of the final credits for an extra scene. The disc has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English, French. Subtitles: English, French. The disc begins with lots of trailers and adverts. But you can skip these via the next button on the dvd remote. And most of these can be found in the sneak peeks section of the disc anyhow. The only extras are: A commentary from various members of the production staff. La Luna. The short - five minutes approx - cartoon that played before Brave on it's cinema release. This starts out a bit strangely and you can never be quite sure where it's going. But the ending is quite beautiful and makes the whole thing well worth watching. Plus the Legend of Mordu. Another five minute long feature, this one featuring a character from Brave telling you about the origin of the monster from it. Some of this may seem familiar from the film but the ending of this short is superb and also makes it worth a look. Don't watch it till after you've watched the movie though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I'd seen good reviews and go along with them. The voices and music enhanced it. It was scarier than I had expected - younger children should probably have an adult with them - on the other hand I grew up reading Grimm's fairy tales and not much is as scary as they are to a child! It covered serious issues if one chose to see it that way, but with a light humourous touch and ended with a thoroughly up beat message. I shall definitely watch it again - my grandsons like it too.

From the opening scenes with the very young Merida playing hide & seek with Queen 'Mum' on her birthday & Dad's inapproriate (in mum's eyes) birthday gift of a bow with arrows to Merida's disgust at the arrival of the 'Suitors' - & when you see them you'll sympathise- till the very last note of the credit music. We never took our eyes off the screen. Thoroughly entertaining, non-stop laughter, thrilling in the 'scary' parts (I don't quite follow the reviews where they say there was no drama). Touching with the emotional upset between the family members (not to give too much away) then hilarity again with the triplets! We enjoyed every frame & eagerly await the release of the DVD. Go & see it & have a great day/night out for the family.

Reading some reviews, I did wonder about paying the hefty pre order price on this. However, I did and I don't regret it at all. We watched the film as a family and every single one of us enjoyed it from start to finish, a great colourful adventure with a good story and some highly amusing parts. My 3 year old daughter loved it so much she's watched it now for about 8 nights running before she goes to bed, so bottom line, money well spent.

Great

Got it as advertised. Perfect.

Eine wunderbare Geschichte überzeugend in Animation umgesetzt. Herrlich.

Reminds me of my niece she used to have red curly hair great movie!

Primero me enviaron la película en otro idioma, pero reclamé y me abonaron hasta los gastos de devolución de la película errónea y me enviaron la correcta. Muy contenta y la película es muy divertida, a mi hijo le ha encantado.

I ordered the UK import version in hopes that I'd be able to watch the Russian language version. It worked wonderfully. The movie itself is so-so, but I bought it for Russian practice, so I'm very happy with it.
