Late reviews, part deux!

This time I'm writing almost a week in advance! So it's like I'm talking to your future self! O.o What are things like next week? I'm getting a headache now...let's not think about this ever again.

I bet y'all are taking bets on whether I can recover and write a decent review...Thanks guys.

Anyways...Hello! Happy Saturday!

Like Spider-Man, I saw Brave about two months ago but things came up and I never sat down and wrote a review.

I think that Brave is one of Pixar's best films ever, which is really saying something. Rather than obsessing with sequels and remakes like the rest of the industry, Pixar consistently tells original and heartfelt stories that resonate with audience members of all ages. Brave is no exception to the rule that Pixar rocks.

Box office wise, Brave has been a little below average for a Pixar film. It has grossed $232 million domestically and $470 million worldwide. Those numbers are nothing for Pixar to be ashamed of, especially since Brave had to follow Cars 2, which was a disappointment both critically and at the box office (the only Pixar film it outgrossed was A Bug's Life), and made some people question whether Pixar was beginning to run low on originality.

Luckily they were wrong.
