![]() In the movie, it's revealed that Merida's parents, particularly her mother, have always striven to raise her to be the perfect embodiment of royalty. ![]() And because of that, I'm convinced that Brave is one of the best Mother's Day movies out there. In addition to giving high screen time to its complex women characters, Brave captures something that I think many young women go through in their lives: that rebellion against one's mother as a teen can grow and transform into incredible appreciation for her. Sure, some people complain that the character is, like in many Disney movies, a princess, but Merida's independence, drive, courage, and lack of a love interest make the film a feminist dream. Like many Pixar fans, I love the 2012 film Brave for giving audiences the studio's first female protagonist in Merida, the Scottish princess whose rebellious nature gets her into a wee bit of trouble.
