Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom?

Me? You have to be thinking about someone else.

I thought Merida was a not particularly likable character and the movie had little resolution. I mean if the plot of the movie was showing the Merida deserved to make her own decisions, it might have helped to have her do something beyond fix a problem that she herself created by being immature and brash.

Hahah LOL I messed you up with daddio And I even double checked it

Yes, agreed.

Personally even though it wasn't that great it needs a sequel to save the franchise and make more people fine with it, and feed its fans

Brave is terrible, its full of stereotypes, borders on racism, and peddles a vision of Scotland favoured and created by Victorian imagery . Shocking.

How is there racism?

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

How is there racism?

How? Because the story writers and animators created it that way.

*sigh* I mean where is there racism in the movie

Agreed. How it won Best Picture over the vastly superior Wreck It, Ralph still boggles my mind.

Worse Pixar movie ever IMHO, yes, worse than Cars 2.

I agree. Really enjoyed Wreck It Ralph to my surprise. And on the Cars 2 comment as well. I'd certainly not call Cars 2 a good movie by any stretch, but unlike Brave I was at least entertained with various parts of it throughout. It was sort of entertainingly bad but not boring. So even there it had SOME value (though again it's a bad movie and particularly terrible for Pixar's usual lofty standards). But Brave is just bad and doesn't even have the entertainingly bad pro to it, just downright boring on top of being a poor movie.

Because stereotyping reduces the individual to a group identity, we dont all have red hair, and wear tartan, have no bears since prehistoric times, and kings and clan chiefs were more likely to be speaking French.

I just watched it yesterday. It was good but there was no closure for what happened to the witch and what purpose Mordue served as being the villian

The witch went to some sort of month long craft festival or something. What resolution were you looking for? What about her needed 'resolving'?

Mordu tied the story together. He ate Merida's father's leg resulting in his obsession with the bear. More importantly, his transformation gave foreshadowing to what was happening to Elinor and clues as to reversing it. Elinor's killing of him wasn't just defeating the 'villain', but it freed Murdu from the curse/spell.

In my mind, the movie was about mother and daughter learning to communicate and respect the other's opinions. As such, it was resolved nicely.

Few of the characters in the actual movie had red hair. Fergus and his children did. It isn't really uncommon for hair color to pass down, of course.

They wore tartans in the movie. Big deal.

I read somewhere that bears went extinct in Scotland around the end of the first millenium. That's a far cry from 'prehistoric'.

I think that the movie's timeframe would predate French in Scotland, but who cares? This is a Disney movie. The characters are going to be speaking English.

I think that you are trying too hard to find racism, but I guess that if you really want to find racism, you'll find it anywhere you look, right?

I agree it wasn't Pixar's best movie but I still think it deserves some kind of presence in the parks. If Cars and Ratatouille got lands, Brave can certainly have a nice dark ride in Pixar Place. I'm not saying it has to be an E Ticket.

I could see a nice POTC style ride for brave with one little drop at the end.

Either that or add a Scotland pavilion at Epcot

And sometimes one doesn't have to look very hard....

I'm going to think better of posting a racist meme to support this argument

From memory, the witch appears at the end of the credits, for a sorta resolution...

All Scots have red hair and wear tartan. And if they don't, they are not true Scotsmen.

Somebody tell that guy about the UK pavilion.

Not the witch, but her crow, who delivers all the carvings to the castle.

Why would they make a movie about age-old Scots without including a type of clothing littered throughout their history and a hair color thats associated with them?

They had scottish accents too. HOW COULD THEY GENERALIZE YOU LIKE THAT!?!?!?!

 

[dadddio]

All Scots have red hair and wear tartan. And if they don't, they are not true Scotsmen.

Fun fact time.

About two percent of the population has red hair. In Scotland, however, that percentage is about 13%. There are about 100 or so people shown in the movie Brave with all the various clansmen. Of these, Fergus and his four children have red hair. Apparently, Brave didn't have near enough red haired characters.
