Brave



My husband and I watched Brave over the Thanksgiving break. I thought it was cute. I especially enjoyed the 3 little brothers. However, I was a little surprised with some of the content. Particularly the busty housemaid who stuffs the key down her dress. And the unnecessary image of the naked butts on the men. I know they are just animations, but I don't know if I would want my kids to watch this film someday. Far too often I feel that animated films these days are slipping in these little things that adults understand, but they think kids won't. It makes me think twice about what movies I will let my kids watch someday. I have a feeling there will be a lot of Classic Disney films in our house :)  

Has anyone else seen Brave? How did you feel about these scenes?

  1. I loved the majority of the film. But i had friends that walked out of the movie and compared some of it to child pornography. I felt like those scenes were not particularly necessary for the plot.

  2. I was really surprised by this movie and the stuff that was slipped in there too. Plus, it was pretty scary. My sister asked if I thought my niece would like it and I told her it was too scary for her. Still a cute movie but definitely some unnecessary stuff.

  5. I watched this movie a long time ago, and I honestly don't even remember those scenes! I think it is pretty scary that I don't remember them and I think it is because of being desensitized to things like this in movies. I do remember that I really liked it, but I also agree that many animated movies are slipping in cleanliness.
