Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment brings Brave to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray as a three-disc combo pack with a flyer for a Disney Digital Copy. Brave is one of Pixar's better films, splendidly imaginative, both in the visuals and in the story, and all-around fun.įor a more in-depth take on the film, check out David Krauss's review of the 2012 Blu-ray HERE. However, it all eventually comes together to a well-earned, tear-jerking and genuinely heartfelt conclusion. The end of the second act and into the third is a bit murky with the whole Mor'du subplot feeling somewhat forced and over-staying its welcome. However, Chapman's plot complicates matters when The Witch (Julie Walters) shows up with a magical cake and essentially suggests Merida's strength can be just as much a virtue and asset as it can be a fault and shortcoming, feeding into an impulsively stubborn pride.
She even goes so far as to compete in games for her own hand in marriage, demonstrating her skills as a warrior and her intelligence. A wholly original tale by Brenda Chapman ( The Prince of Egypt, The Lion King), who also served as co-director, this CG-animated fantasy film, on the other hand, embraced well-known fairy tale conceits, improved upon them and even turned them on their heads.īefore Princess Jasmine challenged cultural norms in the live-action version of Aladdin, Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) defied outdated customs of medieval Scotland, traditions fiercely enforced by her mother (Emma Thompson) with bear-like assertiveness. And when Brave hit cinemas, Disney Animation was at the height of their "Revival" under the leadership of John Lassetter, a return to the company's conventional storytelling roots but with a twist. Walt Disney Studios is arguably most famous for adapting classic folk tales that often featured princesses, witches, magic and various other tropes. One of the best aspects of Pixar's Brave is the studio beating Disney at their own game.
