Brave, an animation movie, released on June 22, 2012 in United States. It is based on the story was created by Brenda champman. This movie which is produced by Katherine Sarafian is also directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman. For making the character and the picture, Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios take a place. Using the budget $185milion, they succeed to make a very good movie that be box office in the world. This movie starring by Kelly Macdonald as Merida,  Emma Thompson as Queen Elinor, Billy Connolly as King Fergus  and Julie Walters as The Witch. Brave also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film,  the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film and also be nominated in several awards in the world.

This movie told about Merida, a princess in Dunborch kingdom who loves archery. She lived in a castile with Her mother, Queen Elinor; who used to force her to be a real princess and love to sew a tapestry, her father, king Fergus; who hunting a bear after he lost his left leg because of a bear (Mor’du) attacked, her triplet’s brother and also a lot of guards and maids. Merida could not stand with her mom. Once, Queen Elinor forced her to choose one of the three clans to be her husband. The girl was innocent succeed to embarrass the three clans.

   The conflict happened. With emotional condition, Merida broke her mom’s tapestry. Her mom was really upset and then she burn Merida’s bow. Merida cried and ran to the forest, she suddenly met will-o-the-wisps that direct her to witch house. As Merida’s requesting, the witch gave her a cake that will change her fate. A strange happened after Merida gave it to her mother; she changed into a big black bear. According to the witch, the magic can be permanent in second summer if Merida cannot break up the mystery.

Brave movie also has critical responses, included positive and negative critics. Starting form Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said that the film did have an uplifting message about improving communication between mothers and daughters, although transforming your mother into a bear is a rather extreme first step. In contrast, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave negative review, stating that the film "diminishes into a rather wee thing as it chugs along, with climactic drama that is both too conveniently wrapped up and hinges on magical elements that are somewhat confusing to boot."

Overall, I like this movie, the characteristic could give a strong image that made the audience enjoyed to watch. The audience also could feel the several emotions that were sad, funny, tight, and the climax part was very touching. Actually, the story is relevant in our environment. Many parents always force their child to be someone who they want. Brave teaches us to brave change our fate. No one can reach our fate.  This film also considered us that listening to others are very important.  

Conclusions, I suggest all of the people for watching this movie because it gives up many lessons. Everybody can catch the moral value and applying it in daily life. This movie also relevant in our environment, this movie can give many lessons for parents, who force their children, to listen what the children wants.  Even though this movie is good, I warn for the children should not watch alone. The adults should control them because many pictures in that movie are not suitable for children. Then, change your mother become a bear is a terrible attitude.
