The thing that I liked about Brave, that I think separates it from the other things you mentioned (not that those aren't, y'know, also good) is that... Merida's heroism is not solely linked to her defiance. In fact, her defiance is what gets her in trouble. She has to learn -- as we all do, really -- how to balance responsibility with independence. It's not all "I'm amazing because I shoot arrows and rebel". Her mother is not treated as a totally unfair dictator that Merida is right to reject; her mother has really valid points. They both learn lessons. It's not a story about being more awesome and badass than boys. It's a story about a mother and a daughter and growing up.

I do love Mrs Brisby, though. We can value both kinds of heroines. All kinds. The strong and the soft and the somewhere in-between.

See, that sounds neat, and even as vague as the previews were, I did get sense of TONE from it that I found intriguing. Like I said, I do WANT to see it, and not to mock it -- I want to see it because I think it genuinely looks like an enjoyable film. Whatever it's about. :P

And yeah, we can and SHOULD value all kinds... I guess my point was more that I feel there's too much emphasis being given to the former end of the spectrum than to the latter or to the anywhere-in-between part.

And I definitely think that's true -- and the previews did make it seem more like that. There's good balance, though. Queen Elinor is a pretty amazing character in her own right, and we get to see that.

It's also just a stunningly beautiful movie, and this is coming from someone who will always choose hand-drawn over CGI animation. It's gorgeous, and the musical score is wonderfully evocative.
