Needed a break from the 105 smoky heat and thought a nice, cool theater sounded splendid. I wasn't in the mood for a movie, but Mr. Craster and the kid and I bucked up and went to see Brave.
I have to say, I really loved this movie. It wasn't perfect, but as a mom this really hit home. Most mom characters in these types of films are the "bad guy." The step mom is always out to get the princess, or, the mom is pretty much a non-character.
The way they handled the main character's mother was utterly splendid. Finally, a mom character with something fun to do (and important)! I cried. I hugged my girl. I laughed.
There are some familiar tropes and some very unique stuff too. But, it's Disney. Will definitely be buying this one. And the princess? Finally, one a gal can be proud of.
