Not a full series but I was SO disappointed in Brave. It was Pixar's first female lead, an independent female lead where the story is mostly about her relationship with her mother SOUNDS like a story I would like but the movie itself fell apart. I didn't even find Merida likable.

I liked the soundtrack and visuals, but Merida herself annoyed me and I found her mom to be a more likeable character.

I heard that Pixar really struggled to make her likable and they had a lot of issues putting the story together and it honestly shows in the final product. Yeah it's a pretty movie but that's the best you can say for it.

I agree with this.

The film's biggest failure is that Merida isn't a likable character. I'm willing to cut her some slack because she is only fifteen or so, so a lot of that teenage angst is to be expected, but accepting that as somewhat realistic doesn't make up for the entire character. I guess my personal issue with her is how long it takes her to admit that she was wrong in the first place.

Luckily for her, Frozen came along, and with it, Elsa. Without that, Merida would be my least favorite Disney princess.

DA. The issue with Merida is that her rebellion against her place in her family could have been understandable... up until the moment she tried to poison her Mother (yeah she didn't know what was going to happen really, but even the more reason not to have your mother ingest something mysterious you really know nothing about.)

Like I tried to give her a ton of slack for being annoying (like you said, being a teen and all that) but they just had the character make some terrible choices on top of that and it was hard to redeem it all by the end.

Me too, and not just because their first female lead was so forgettable, but because this film is one of extremely few large-scale western animation films that lets the hero fuck up and have to clean up their own mess. I find those stories so much more interesting than the ones where Good Heroes are victims of Evil Villains.
