I don't plan on watching monsters university, doesn't look that great
I should definitely see Brave though, my entire family wanted to watch it and we never got around to it
I don't think Brave is their greatest or funniest film ever, but it's pretty good.
There was a lot of complaining that having the main character be a girl that the film would be too girly.
And while it was no Disney Princess film, it did have atleast a little bit of a girly/soppy side to it.
But Pixar films will usually have that sort of soppy sadness to them. I suppose it just seemed girlier since it was more related to the story of a Girl and her Mother.
But being a Pixar film, it's not something you'll walk away from and find yourself wishing you hadn't bothered watching it.
