But what bothers me the most are the reviews which praise the movie for providing an alternative to the Disney Princesses in their sparkly dresses – and not just because the sparkly dresses are mostly a product of the line-up. That it was advertised as the movie with the “better and more modern” Princess bothered me even more. This in mind, the idea of Pixar making a Disney Princess movie bothered me. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, but both studios do what they do usually so good, they should stick to it. They are two different flavours for me, and putting them together is like eating sausages in vanilla sauce – with Pixar being the sausages, since this is the studio with goes for the meaty mix of crazy ideas, while the Animation Studios add a little sweetness to every story they tell. Mostly because I don’t like it when the Disney Animation Studios and Pixar mix. I disliked the idea of Merida in the Line-Up from the get-go, too. They can talk about Merida’s hair as much as they want, the movie who should have gotten the awards for this one was “Tangled”, because that was the movie for which the software which was developed further in “Brave” was invented. Hell, the thing got a freaking Oscar, and while I know which kind of politics were in play for that atrocity, it is frustrating to see this movie getting the critical acclaim over something as creative as “Wreck it Ralph”. I think I have rarely seen a movie as overrated as “Brave”.
