Brave

** SPOILER TIME!!**

Is this a feminist parable? Is it symbolic of anything greater than itself? Is it based on some great Scottish fable? It’s really hard to tell. One third of the way into the movie, the main character accidentally turns her mother into a bear. A Bear! So then the rest of the movie is spent trying to figure out how to turn her back into a woman. Is that symbolic of anything? I know in many fairy tales there are candlesticks, toads, wooden puppets, and “beasts”, but bears? It feels like a Non sequitur. A beautifully animated Non sequitur.
