BRAVE

this afternoon, i was invited to screen disney PIXAR's new film BRAVE in their sweet & cozy screening room on park avenue.
naturally, i brought TONY nominee (and bestie--saying TONY nominee will NEVER get old, i'm so freaking proud) laura osnes because she'll be originating cinderella this fall on broadway (no big deal)....
i felt one princess should see another....

anyway, we loved it.
not only because princess merida has fierce curly hair (i'm dying for her length), but because it was a grown up film for teenage girls. while i usually live for the love story, i was happy that this was the coming of age journey of a girl and her mother (voiced by emma thompson whom i love) and their complicated relationship. since when have we seen a disney princess and her LIVING (non-wicked step) mother?

this is a much more dramatic, action-packed film and not a light and fluffy musical in the tangled vein (i think there were maybe 3 or 4 songs at most)... it may be to scary for the tiny ones, but it's a great film for the tween set (both girls and boys).

maybe laura and i sobbed thru the ending.....

and the animation.... just stunning scottish vistas!
we were absolutely blown away.
if only my curls looked that good....
