TALK BACK: Brave

It’s been a while since Disney/Pixar released a animated movie that wasn’t A) a sequel and B) hasn’t been hyped as the greatest thing since chocolate ice-cream.  This weekend saw the opening of Brave across the country.

Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.

We want to know what you think.  Did the story twist surprise you?  Did you fall in love with the characters? Or is this something that should be shoved to the back of the closet, never to be talked about again?  Use the comment section below to share your thoughts and reviews about the movie.

TELEVISION: Disney announces end of Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes

Though I have had my problems with the way Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes has been handled as far as dangling storylines go, I have generally enjoyed the series.  Which is why it is sad to hear that Disney is cancelling the series on its Disney XD channel.

But wait! There’s a silver lining in the news!

Strong willed, intelligent, feisty, relentless, outspoken. You’d be speaking of Lois Lane or Pauley Perrette?
