>The film’s real protagonist is Joy (voiced by an effervescent Amy Poehler), one of five emotions who steer Riley through life via a control center in her mind that’s akin to the bridge from the Starship Enterprise. Joy and her cohorts — including Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), Anger (Lewis Black), and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) — all work together to keep Riley emotionally balanced, and for the first 11 years of her life, the primary influencer is Joy, as evidenced by Riley’s sunny demeanor.

Okay so here's the thing about Brave: Dunno if you're into games, but to me Brave is the Skyward Sword of Pixar movies. Skyward Sword does what it sets out to do, and on its own merit, it's alright. But in comparison to other Zelda games, it's crappy, and every other Zelda game is better than it, excluding the CD-i games, I guess. Same feeling with Brave. If Brave were by some small studio or Dreamworks or whatever, I'd probably think higher of it. But as a Pixar movie, Brave could have been much better. After such a solid track-record by Pixar, I couldn't praise Brave at all. The CGI for Meridia's hair is a technological wet-dream tho.
Ugh, the comments below this article are cancerous, though all the negative comments about "WHAT'S WRONG WITH PRINCESSES?!?!" are hilarious. I assume these are the same parents who are pissed they can't find the latest Frozen princess crap, are waiting in long lines at Disney World so their daughters can get "Princess Makeovers" and have their picture taken with some college girl in a costume instead of going on Space Mountain. And all these people dramatically scouring any info on the article which supports their hypothesis that everything is anti-feminist, ugh, can't stand it
