Brave!
I saw Brave! In the theater at the Union, which was not quite packed but very busy! I had forgotten how much I enjoy seeing movies in theaters, when everybody laughs and claps and gasps together. It's a pleasure to feel in tandem.
And! It was so much fun! Tiny!Merida! Grown up Merida, riding! People turning into bears! (The little brothers turning into bear cubs! SO CUTE.) (Also, I thought they struck an excellent middle between making Merida self-centered but still sympathetic.) And Merida's hair!
Seriously, I think she and Rapunzel from Tangled should join together as the Awesome Hair Duo, fighting for justice with bow and frying pan. Yes? Yes? The fact that Rapunzel's hair is no longer magic at the end of the movie is a minor problem, but...maybe it regenerates eventually. Yes! I like this idea!
And I really liked the ending, the last shot, with Merida and her mother going riding.
