Never doubt the creativity at Pixar.
And yes, Ratzenberg does a voice in Brave.

I'm glad to hear positive about this film, many of the reviews have been lukewarm with saying its too childish and loses the Pixar mystique. I'm looking forward to it, a princess that saves herself is a great staple to have in the Disney family

Excuse me laddie. There's chip shop haggis,then there's the real McCoy haggis.If I blind folded you and gave you a taste of real haggis with a wee dram of Talisker,you'd be in 7th heaven.Article in our local paper said Disney had ordered Haggis, a traditional Scottish dish, from a Maine company which was to be served at private showings of Brave. Were you Brave enough to try some? Described as a dish made from sheeps lung, heart, liver.

So would it be appropriate for a child who like toy story, Cinderella, princess and the frog? I'm just concerned it might be too dark.

Don't know about being in 7th heaven but I think the blindfold would definitely be needed.
The article stated that Disney was ordering from this company, W.A. Bean, from Bangor ME, that was well known for making haggis since 2006. Because of the USDA regs, they will not allow haggis to be imported from Scotland. The Bean company also because of USDA regs cannot use the Scottish method of using the sheeps lungs or stomach casing. Everything else in the recipe is done traditionally. Just reread the article and it was supposed to be served at the Hollywood premier, at a function catered by Chef Wolfgang Puck

I'm cautious.
The film is currently sitting at 64% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's very early into Brave's review cycle, but only other Pixar movies to even register below 90% are the two Cars movies.

Don't let rotten tomatoes ruin the experience. I never read reviews before going to a show because you can subconsciously be swade into disliking something or likely something based on reviews you read and not the actual content.
Also the number one thing I hate with reviews is the critic calls a movie ment for children "childish". It just makes me want to screem well of course it is it is a children's movie!
I personally thought it was great and it was so refreshing to see a studio stepping away from their comfort zone. It is dark and at sometimes a little violent. If your children scare easily I wouldn't take them with out seeing it first. Remember this is rated PG so if you are concerned about your kids being scared go first yourself. No one can better judge how your child might act but you so it is best to rely on your own judgement and not that of others.

On the upside, if the movie is lame and gets the review it deserves, reading it can spare you the mistake of paying to see it in the first place.
If Pixar has stooped to being content making children's movies, it's a real shame indeed.

Most of the reviews that are out right now are from über film fans and movie bloggers. I never trust their opinion. I know my taste better than anyone and prefer to judge for myself after skipping too many movies based on bad reviews just to rent it later and find out I was in the minority who enjoyed it.
So very true. It seems like professional or wanna-be critics go to a movie with the purpose of picking it apart and examining it under a microscope. Nothing looks good that close up. I go to a movie to escape reality and have fun for a few hours. I really do not care if the plot has been done before or, to paraphrase one of the critics on rotten tomatoes, if bears feature to prominently.
Die Hard does not look good under a microscope or even a magnifying glass. It still does not stop me from enjoying it every time I see it. I think people have forgotten that while movies can be art, they do not need to be to be enjoyable.

Some of us aren't lowering our standards because we like a movie that all the critics may not. I am a fan of films and go to art houses often to go see very deep movies. However, at the same time I also go to some movie simply because it was ridiculous fun and nothing more. Not everything has to be Shakespeare and even the crappiest movie can be good to someone. So no standard lowering I just know that I enjoy a wide range of movies going from the most amazingly reviewed film to the lowest brow movies.
It is not about lowering your standards at all. It is about pulling the stick out of your hind end and enjoying a movie for what it is and not hating it for what it is not. Some people can do that, critics seem to have a good deal of trouble with it.

I actually read the Junior novelization of the film...and my only concern is the similarities of another Disney animated film that came out a few years ago...

It is nothing like that other movie people keep referring to. Go see the movie. Also to the person that said earlier critics keep you from wasting that money if it ends up being bad after all that just makes you a follower. I refuse to live my life following what other people say is enjoyable or is not worth my time. I am a very big theater fan and if I went to everything that a critic said was great I would be sitting through some really long boring stuff but if I skipped out on everything the critics hated I would have missed out on a musical that became a sensation with people my age. Also for anyone who may get the reference Phantom of the Opera was a massive flop according to the critics of the 80s. To them it was the worst musical ever written but now look 24 years later it is still the longest running production on broadway.
Below are my thoughts on the comparison to that other movie. It is riddled with spoilers so if you haven't figured out the plot twist yourself yet (Disney doesn't do a good job of hiding it with the merch that is already out) or if you don't really care read on.
Removed my thoughts on the comparison because I don't know how to put up a spoiler tag here. If someone will show me I will edit the thoughts back into this post.
