BRAVE (Theatrical Release USA 2012)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Brave suffers from a lack of adequate closure. The film seems to have run out of storyline after the main character successfully rescues her mother from a bad spell. An audience waits for more and there is no more. The animated effects are quite good.
