Brave is a Disney Pixar film based in medieval Scotland.

The movie opens with Queen Elinor, (the queen of Clan DunBroch) looking for someone. That person happens to be Merida, the daughter of Elinor. Ten years later, Merida talks with the audience off-screen about what is life there now and about her new triplet brothers, Harris, Hubert and Hamish and describes them as ‘wee devils that could get away with murder’. She also describes the stress she has to face as a princess, but every once in a while, there was a day she didn’t have to be a princess.

One day, out of the clear blue sky, Elinor announced Merida’s  betrothal (engagement) to a prince. Merida angrily stated that this was getting too much and she was too young to get engaged. But still, her mother forced her to get engaged. On the day of betrothal, the clans (MacGruffin, MacIntosh and Dingwall) arrive. After arriving, the lords of each clan tell tall tales of their children who will participate in the games.

After the games, Merida wanders off into the woods to look for a way that will change her mom’s mind. There, she meets a bumbling witch who is also an expert woodworker. The witch agrees to help Merida and gives the red-haired girl a cake which was supposed to change her mom. It did change her mom, but into a BEAR! Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I like the way the overconfidence of Merida was portrayed so realistically. The animation style was also amazing. The way the mother-daughter bond was portrayed was perfect. The triplets’ bear avatars were very cute. I also liked the story of Mor’du, the bear antagonist.  The movie also has many introductions, such as Pixar’s new animation style to create a whole new world, and the Dolby Atmos sound format, which I liked. I also got to know Merida had two voice actors for the same film.  Trivia is always amazing and surprising, right? But, I do not think that Pixar had to give their animation style a whole revamp just for Brave. I also found out that Merida is also the 11th Disney princess and the first one to originate from Disney Pixar.  The only flaws are:

·       It is way too short.

·       It has lesser dialogues than expected.

 I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

  1.   It has good character portrayal.
  2.   It has good animation.
  3.  It has perfect emotional presentation. Even better than Inside Out.
  4.  It has an interesting plot.
  5.  Over all, THE MOVIE IS REAL SUPER!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
