Excellent article. I haven't yet seen Brave, but the more articles I read like this, and the one by Lili Loofborouw the more I want to.

I am not surprised by the Grauniad "reviewer" being a talentless hack, it seems to be an affliction in the British media and it isn't a new phenomena, but I am a bit surprised that Ebert didn't get the message of the film as presented here and by Loofborouw - he was usually a bit smarter than that.
