brave

Brave is fantastic, guys. I loved it from beginning to end. I went with my mother, and that was such a great idea, because it's really a movie about mothers and daughters and family. And how unusual is that, for -- not even just for a Disney movie, but for any movie; even my mother commented on it. Anyway, I loved it, and I one hundred percent recommend it. Fantastic and adorable and funny and great characters. (Also, I cried, but I cry at anything.)

At the end, my mother said in tones of some surprise, "That wasn't a kids movie!" And I said "I'm glad you're not a bear, Mom."

ETA: Oh, and the most impressive part of the CGI to me was actually what happened to Merida's hair when it was wet, especially in the rain. I'm easily impressed, I guess.

Of course it wasn't (just) a kids' movie; Pixar was involved! :D

I read an article about how they did her hair, which I can't refind just now. Apparently one of the people in the group working on animating her hair had curly hair, and they "hosed her down" to see how her hair acted when wet.

SO SMART. I think I read that it took them three years to develop the software to animate Merida's hair? So that's incredibly impressive. (I actually have a friend from school whose hair is just like hers. I mean, shorter, but otherwise.)
