Long story short ... it's all about hair. The long fuzzy red Irish hair, because everything else falls short. There's no doubt that Pixar works miracles by detailing the heroine's hair, to the point that when it's covered in the archery competition sequence, its deficiency proves it already has a character of its own. But there's not much going on in terms of story or character development or take-home message for kids beyond that. And we have the obligatory second arrow slicing the first one in half on the bulls-eye - this time in slow-motion.

Oh dear. This really was feeble. What a waste of the animators time. It fell at every hurdle but I agree the red Scottish locks on the main character were stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt was very unlike Pixar to make an entire movie solely pivoting on a character's hair. They should be smarter than that.
