Moviegoers has grown to expect more from Pixar and many of them found the film to be conventional. 'Brave' does come across a one of Pixar's strongest works, but is also hampered by some flaws. She still got credited as the secondary director, although one can't help to wonder if there was a bigger conflict about this story or if this conflict was enhanced by the media.Įither way, although I've always been not so fond of Pixar, they can deliver a masterpiece now and then ('Toy Story', 'Finding Nemo', 'Up'). Although Chapman herself has stated that her original visions of the tale was fulfilled, the replacements are barely mentioned in the special features. It was Brenda Chapman's lovechild, but she got replaced because of creative differences. 'Brave' got also some buzz of the directorial change. It was their first film with a female lead after more than a decade of films with male leads. The feminist aspects were also surrounding 'Brave'.

However, although 'Brave' wasn't seen as the definite Pixar comeback, it still was better critically and commercially received as 'Cars 2'. However, some Pixar fans screamed foul and thought 'Brave' was a result of the Disneyfication of Pixar.

After the critical and financial failure of 'Cars 2' (which is a film that I personally enjoyed and didn't deserve the massive hate), 'Brave' was seen as Pixar's chance of redemption. With 'Brave', Pixar finally made their entrance into a period and fairy tale setting.
