Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Brave

Genre : Animation Action Adventure, contains funny & emotional adventure for all the family

Cert: PG cert

Story: Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late

Likes : Normally animated films don't make me cry but this film was a really emotional film to watch as a mother & daughters bond is in the balance has her mother has tun into a bear they only have until sun rise before she remains a bear for the rest of her life.This bold between her mother gives the audience a emotional journey of laughter & crying.It was brilliant to watch this film because it wasn't just a kids film it was a family movie were the whole family will enjoy watching.Billy Connolly is the voice of king Fergus, Emma Thompson voice of Queen Elinor who has been turned in to a bear,Kevin McKidd voice of Lord MacGuffin, Robbie Coltrane voice of cantankerous Lord Dingwall, Craig Ferguson voice of Macintosh, Julie Walters voice of the eccentric old Witch.Kelly MacDonald voice of the young daughter Merida a bit of a wild child at heart but to her own foolishness her mother is turned to a bear.I love the storyline to this film it tell that destiny & fate are in all of us & the choice you make effect the your future.you will laugh & cry to this film it has it all along with the danger of a past bother of a kingdom who secret is revealed.Not a lot of animated film impress me but this one really hits the heart, it such a brilliant tale of a mother & daughter bond as they both realize they must change there own future to make a better life.if you ever get the chance watch this film because you wont regret it, it such a beautifully made film by Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, Steve Purcell & Irene Mecchi. Along with its celtic music it really set the mood for this film quite well.
