PREVIEW: Brave (PG)

This week our family film is the exciting Brave, the new animated film from Pixar and its first film with a female lead!

This film tells the story of Merida who is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. 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, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch 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.

Featuring voices from Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson and Julie Walters, this is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humour enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

This is certainly the most magical film we have seen from Pixar for a number of years.  The story and journey will delight everyone, especially when you see the wonderful animated landscapes of Scotland. The setting and themes of the film are ever present especially with the heart-warming Scottish score by Patrick Doyle.
