My Kind of Princess

As a longtime fan of digital animation and Pixar Studios, I was thrilled to see they are releasing a film with a strong female lead. Brave is the story of Princess Merida breaking cultural stereotypes for her class and gender. The title of the movie attaches a typically masculine attribute to Merida, with "Brave".

I certainly hope there is more of the same in store for viewers after watching the latest trailer where she breaks conventions by speaking out against her arranged marriage by winning her own hand with her archery skills. She splits her own perfectly targeted arrow while disobeying her mother; showing that sometimes the path to standing tall begins with the tiny act of letting go. Check out the trailers here.
