United States	David Edelstein New York Magazine	"In addition to being fast, funny, and unpretentious, 'Brave' is a happy antidote to all the recent films in which women triumph by besting men at their own macho games"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"The standout characters, exciting set pieces and memorable songs that we've come to expect are absent. The truest advertising tagline would be, 'From the studio that brought you Cars 2 (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"OK, Brave isn't 'The Incredibles' or 'Toy Story'. So? It's still a rousing, gorgeously animated good time (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The good news is that the kids will probably love it, and the bad news is that parents will be disappointed if they're hoping for another Pixar groundbreaker (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"In terms of story and emotional power, 'Brave' comes up short"	NEU
