so I just watched Brave

And I've gotta say I see why people like it so much. At least for the most part.

The start of the flick is...flawed. Very flawed. It kinda bugs me that Merida's oppression is implied to be solely upheld by her mother with no pressure from her father to fall into the role of her own princesshood. I can't help imagining that the reason they fired the woman who had been originally put in charge of this project was fired for not wanting to make the father more likable. Or that wasn't the reason at all. I don't really know.

Over all I did enjoy the flick a lot. It really picked up after the big confrontation between Merida and her mother.
