...But the only thing Finding Nemo and Brave have in common is that... They're both about a parent and child.

Finding Nemo was about a paranoid father whose worst fear was almost realized because he was wrong and his son was right, and in his paranoia, he was suffocating his son. But that's just it--Nemo WAS right. He COULD do things. Marlin just didn't want to lose him and so was afraid of ever letting go.

Elinor, meanwhile, isn't. she just doesn't value Merida's skills because they're not what she would need as Queen. And she says it herself--she does know Merida can care for herself. She's just not sure Merida is willing to pay the price for the freedom she wants. And when you watch it, Merida ISN'T at first. Because she pins it all on her mom--all the problems, all the pressure. When, no, it isn't that simple. Merida is young and, most of all, she is WRONG. Her mother is trying to keep a very delicate peace with no way she can see out of it. It takes Merida, instructed by her mother, making a speech and reminding the clans of their bonds and how they fought together for the freedom they currently have to open the way to her own freedom--something the sons supported, and thus got their dads to support.

But really, what it comes down to is: both parents and children are flawed and neither of them were entirely right or wrong. Unlike Finding Nemo, which was more focused on Marlin's journey.
