If you could change your fate, would you?
Anyone who's seen the trailer for Disney-Pixar's Brave should be familiar with that question. It would seem from the two and a half minute preview that the movie is all about a young lass who rises up against her parents while seeking (and succeeding) to prove how strong and independent women can be and how oppressive and backward her parents are. But don't let the trailer deceive you.
Let me just say, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Brave this past weekend. I do not want to give any of the plot away, but it ended up far from what was projected by the trailer. As my sister pointed out, it seems as if the footage for the preview was taken solely from introduction of the movie.
That said, the plot is more similar to one of Grimms' Fairy Tales than your typical saccharine Disney, so it might not be suitable for young children. (That's not to say that it's not heartwarming and funny, but that the overall feel is much darker than, say, Tangled.)
In fact, my first reaction when leaving the theatre was more like "What an odd movie!" than "What a good film!" As time has passed though (and many discussions later), I find myself liking it more and more. So, next time you're wanting to watch something other than the typically sappy Disney, check out Brave and you may be pleasantly surprised!

Oh, I forgot to mention: even if you don't like the movie itself, you'll be sure to enjoy the soundtrack which has some light music with a Scottish twist!
