CHANGE YOUR FATE.
The Scottish princess Merida refuses to be married off; after an argument with her mother, she runs away and comes across a witch in the forest who offers her what looks like a simple solution to her problemā¦ In spite of a few issues (such as the original director, Brenda Chapman, leaving after a disagreement), this 3D Pixar fairy tale is robust entertainment, good-looking, and an original to boot. Spirited cast, but the story isn’t terribly novel and the big twist (lively and amusingly familiar as a fairy-tale ingredient though it may be), is always close to turning the movie into a farce.
