Pixar Movies

I remembered liking this movie when I watched it in theaters, but a lot of people rag on it. What’s the problem with it?

They showed male butts instead of female butts like they did later on Inside Out and that movie did well, see?

I just found it to be really bland

There’s an audience for that though, just look at the Stonetoss thread

A lot of people didn't see it at all and just think it looks ugly and uninteresting.

Meh, if there's one constant in Life, that is you can't please everyone. Btw, I loved this movie, it's still a top favourite.

>female butts like they did later on Inside Out
kids butts are better looking than old Scots butts. :^)

Based.

Merida being an insufferable bitch

This, she was an entitled brat that would rather poison her mother than to do the one thing people expected of her.

It was a mediocre movie, and it SOMEHOW won the oscar over Wreck-it Ralph and Paranorman.

Other than cute princess doing boyish things the story is a letdown. I did expect a spooky adventure with magic and it is literally just a bear.

Other thing is Merida is simply but ugly in her own movie.

My problem isn't necessarily that she didn't want to get married to a rando, cause that shit sucks. The thing is that when her mom turns into a bear, that should be the moment where she's like "Oh fuck I made a terrible mistake I'm so sorry, we'll fix this".
But no, what happens is "HOLY SHIT WHAT HAPPENED GOD DAMN IT MOM IT'S ALL THAT WITCHES FAULT LET'S GO THERE TO COMPLAIN". Absolutely zero remorse for her actions until all the way at the ass end of the movie, and by that point it was already too late.

Paranormal was crap tho even with the funny faggot part

the first half was good. all the scottish clans doing scottish things and merida being a stronk woman. then the second half is shit you've already familiar with in past movies.

>What’s the problem with it?
Not everyone wanted the mother/daughter relationship drama when the trailers advertised an adventure. And Yea Forums is still salty about it winning an Oscar, because those are only important when a movie they don't like wins. If you enjoyed it, you have great taste. Just be prepared for Yea Forums to talk shit.
>Absolutely zero remorse for her actions until all the way at the ass end of the movie, and by that point it was already too late.
Merida began feeling remorse around the time she actually began to bond with her mother. She admits it's her fault twice and the second time she's on her knees crying because the weight of what she did is coming down on her. Hell, even when she wouldn't admit any of that she tried to get her mom fixed.

But that's wrong.

It was a thematically weak and an overall shallow experience, which isn't uncommon with magical fantasy stories, but it just felt more acute in this instance because of a wonderful set-up. What could have been an emotionally complex story of duty and sacrifice ended in contrivances and platitudes about family that doesn't really tie into anything that happened on-screen except on a surface level.

On the plus side I really liked the setting and character designs, and I'm not sure why so many people seem averse to Merida's looks. But visuals cannot make up for the movie's shortcomings. This was the movie where Pixar started to pull its punches, and it's regretful that we will never see what the director originally intended for the film.

all the problems that others have mentioned are big but there is one other that most people miss. There are only two actual characters in the movie Merida and her mother, every one else was comic relief, the movie badly needed a proper male lead.

Even the father son movie that was finding Nemo had a strong female lead in Dory.

But it has a Disney Princess.

Fucking this. The first teaser trailer was GOAT, the backstory of the world was interesting, the visuals beautiful, the character designs top tier, and the themes had potential. I'll never forgive Pixar for fucking up the writing when this movie had all the elements to be one of their best.

What if they made a sequel based on the plans for the original?

>What if they made a sequel based on the plans for the original?
They didn't really have any plans beyond girl lead, scotland and Mordu. That's one of the reasons why they changed directors.

Basically the movie seems to be built around the idea that arranged marriages are bad rather than a simple fact of life of medieval politics.

as mentioned an actual male lead would have helped. Merida and her mother are not enough to hold up the movie.

This was the movie that made me give up on the Oscars. Taught me all you really need to win is a hot topic subject poorly examined and people will still vote for you regardless. Well, and also you have to be a big name like pixar

I liked it, too. I guess the problem was the story being kind of janky, which it was. The mother/daughter premise kind of flew out the window because the mother turned into a wordless bear for 3 quarters of the film.

The triplets served zero purpose to the story outside of comedic cuts.

>Basically the movie seems to be built around the idea that arranged marriages are bad rather than a simple fact of life of medieval politics.
It was a fact of life, but should that mean someone ought to be okay with it?
