[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]It has a higher rating than Prometheus, bro. Only Brave is actually has a worthwhile story and likable characters. Prometheus has no redeemable qualities besides its visuals.I knew it would suck when I first saw the trailers for it. It seems so lame and unexciting. It doesn't seem to have that wonderful, fuzzy feeling that some of Pixar's previous films, such as UP and Toy Story had.

I think Brave is on par with some of Pixar's earlier efforts pre-The Incredibles. That being said, it is a heartfelt film like any Pixar film is, but it also has a heavy dose of humor that is something that I found more relatable to the slapstick in a film like Monsters, Inc.
With that said, I thought Brave was a wonderful film. It may not be the most unpredicable film, but the message it is trying to get across is what I found to be most lovely. I feel like people are stuck-up over the idea that, if it's not unpredictable, then it's not passable. Bull. What's most striking is HOW Merida's relationship with her Mother evolves. We already know what's going to happen, but it was until I found out HOW things between the two of them are changing that made me all giddy. That's where all the magic happens.
I would go far with saying Brave is definitely a different kind of film from Pixar, but different is a good thing. At the same time, it does not stray too far away from the Pixar finesse that it will leave people in the dust.
I'm definitely going to see it again in theaters, but right now I say it's definitely a worthy Pixar film no matter what a tomato messuring device says.

I honestly felt more like
[spoiler] The mother only realized after she sent her daughter running off crying that she may have overreacted with throwing her bow in the fire and that she was not in the right for burning something Merida cherishes. [/spoiler]
But that's an interesting thought you got there.
I do like the minimalism. I think the Witch had just the right amount of screentime. She's a mysterious hag, no one really knows much about her other than the fact that she's a witch and that she can mess your life up if you mess with her. All of that was said and done. No complaints from me.
