Brave : An Animated Movie : Brave Movie Review

My research assignment # 1 I picked the movie “ Monsters , inc “ by Pixar teamed up with disney, the director was pete Docter in 2001 the movie was first released ,the movie will be 16 years old today. when first came out the movie was a big hit. This movie is showed through the eyes of the two monsters , as the movie goes on ,the two main characters learns that they should not be scared of something you do not understand, at the end of the movie they both learn overcome they fear. I think the director was trying to show that important of laughter in life , It is truly more stronger than fear.

    The movie follows a kindly grandfather sitting down with his sick grandson and reading him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the foul Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war. It is up to Westley (her once believed dead love, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, powerful giant, both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest.

In “Brave” Merida and her mother both demonstrate the transcendental characteristic that real self is found in nature. Merida especially demonstrates this characteristic. Although many of her days are spent training to be princess, on the few days Merida has off, she goes out into the woods to pursue her true passion of archery. Merida appears happier in the woods, and only in the woods is she really allowed to pursue archery. This behavior demonstrates that Merida can only be herself in nature. Merida also demonstrates real self found in nature after fighting with her mother about being a princess. Merida and her mother have a fight about Merida finding a suitor, and to process the fight, Merida leaves and heads to the forest to contemplate. Only in the woods is she able to truly able to be happy, and the forest is her only source of clear thinking. Again, Merida demonstrates that her real self is found in nature. While Merida most strongly represents this trait, Merida’s mother does represent it as well. During the time that Merida’s mother is a bear, she spends time in the woods with her daughter, and begins fully

She was a woman grown, seven-and-ten, and wreathed in a cloth-of-silver gown she appeared truly the Lady of the Mists. In her presence Hunt felt ashamed of his status; he was but five-and-ten, though as he was so fond of reminding her, he would be a true man in less than a month. He had made squire two years past, nigh unheard of, chosen by the castle’s castellan, the old veteran Seer Lars Reddan. He had the makings of a chevalier, the great magi of the Lyceum told him, and already he could feel the mana tingling hungrily in his fingertips. Even so, he was a poor boy, the third-born son of a lowly castle knight; his love was a princess, daughter of Torriq the Hammer and promised to another. No, I must not dwell on such things. She is the emperor’s heir; surely she can choose her own

The dwarves are amazed by the girl’s beauty and allow her to stay with them forever as long as she handles all the household chores. Snow White happily obliges and begins to take care of the dwarves. Unfortunately, the evil step-mother gets word of Snow White’s death being a fraud and makes three attempts to trick and fool the princess. On the third attempt, the old hag is successful and upon biting in to a deliciously plump red apple sends Snow White tumbling to the ground. The seven dwarves decide Snow White is to captivating to be buried underground so they decided to encase her in glass and take turns guarding her remains. One day a handsome prince happens to come across the beautiful dead princess and begs the dwarves to let him purchase her. Reluctantly, the dwarves give the prince Snow White and a bump on the transport home causes the poisonous apple to fall out of her mouth and the princess magically comes back to life. The prince marries Snow White, and the evil step mother is forced to dance in hot-iron boots until she dies.

After getting lost in the forest for a couple of nights, she finally gets to the castle but everything is strange. The gates don't open to invite her in, the lights in the garden are dim and the stable would not open. She runs in to the castle and desperately tries to find her Beast. Upon finding him, she realizes that she loves him and the enchantment is broken. Her beast becomes the handsome man, whose portrait she had seen in the gallery. They agree to marry and her whole family is sent for, including the sister's fiancée and a lady neighbor. The new couple descends down the stairs to the awaiting and excited crowd.

The Beauty and the Beast starts with a lively music in the castle which immediately set us into action. A castle full of expensive housewares and beautiful ladies wearing white gowns dancing to the music represent perfection. The ball is interrupted by a knock from an unexpected beggar who offered the insensitive prince a rose for shelter. The loud thunderclap and the way the chandelier lights were blown off by the wind intensified the scene. When he refuses, the beggar transformed into an enchantress and changed him into a hideous beast and his servants into housewares. The camera angle which showed the shadow figure of the prince turning to a beast was amazingly done. She casts a spell on the rose and it would only be broken if he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell. On the other hand, Belle starts the film in a small lively village which implies peacefulness and security. Belle is a simple, creative girl wanting to leave her monotonous village life to explore new things and go to an adventure. This came true when her horse Philippe went home anxiously without Maurice, her father. The way the horse neighed repeatedly implied that something is wrong. Belle, without hesitation, stormed off to the castle where her father was imprisoned and took his place as

The evil characters are portrayed as less “feminine” than the heroines, with curvier and heftier figures and longer noses as opposed to the slender figures and delicate faces of the princesses (Walker). In 2012. Disney released Brave, whose main character Merida was a spunky tomboy with fiery red hair, which was a step towards more realistic body types. However, after the movie’s release, Disney released a “redesigned” Merida, in which she is “sexier” with a slimmer waist and tamer hair (Perez). Merida’s creator, Brenda Chapman, supported a petition against this new design that

This tale shows the consequences of a childish dependence clung to for a long time. The princess trusts her mother who then sends her off to get married. Because she was protected as a child she did not develop autonomy. She was very dependent on her parents. Her dependence is then shifted to her maid who robs her of her title. The princess fears the maid and goes along with

Disney’s new movie “Frozen” has caught the eyes of viewers and has surprised us all, reaching No. 1 in the box Office and have pass over $300 million of tickets sold, this movie has no sign of slowing down any time soon. “Frozen’ is one of the few recent Disney films to capture the classic Disney script, like “Cinderella” or “Snow White”, it’s a heart warming and loving story, guaranteed to thaw a frozen heart. Unlike the usual Disney princess story line where the girl has a poor life or things just don’t turn out like there suppose to, they wish upon a star, fall in love, then bibbidi-bobbdi-boo they have a happily ever after. Frozen strayed off from tradition and decided to go for more of a different approach. True love has always been a

Thus, many adults had a problem with this movie. The movie is addressed to not only children but adults as well. My adults are stubborn and don’t like things that are not how they see it. These parents have metathesiophobia. Also, those adults believe that the kids should not be watching these types of movies that shows them how to be rebellious. These parents focus on the parts of the movie that were irrelevant like how Elsa ran away. Other adults who see the positive difference between the old Disney movies and the new Disney movies encourage their kids to watch it and recommend other parents to watch it with their kids. It is parents like those who have helped changed the perspective of the medias role in our socialization. Media has always been negative towards women and the role they have in the world. But movies like “Brave” and “Frozen” are helping change those perspective in a positive way.

Staying true to the traditional tale, the evil queen is in search of eternal youth and beauty and becomes enraged when the magic mirror informs her that Snow White can replace her as “fairest of them all”. The evil queen orders the Huntsman to find Snow White who has escaped her imprisonment from the confines of the castle and dark kingdom. Enthralled by Snow Whites charm and beauty, the Huntsman instead takes on the role of her protector and warrior mentor. Much of the movie is the Huntsman and Snow White’s journey to escape the evil queen and find an army to battle the evil queen to reinstate Snow White to her rightful place on the throne. Don’t worry the beloved dwarfs are a part of this version, though a little rough around the edges, much to the dismay of you Disney fans. Deviating from the original tale, the love interest has been changed. Although, the movie does include a Prince Charming, it is the ruggedly handsome Huntsman who is meant to wake Snow White with his kiss.

Many of the troubles that modern teenagers go through are shown throughout the movie. There are troubles with relationships, trying to get each others attention and understand what they both like and want. There are troubles with parents, high school, having low self-esteem, never feeling good enough and all the horrible things in the world. In the Grim version the spell is broken by true love in general but in order to break the spell in Beastly it is broken by true loves kiss. In Beauty and the Beast she just has to tell the beast how she feels and the spell is broken.
