I saw it yesterday with my daughter (6), stepmother, And brother (17), and all of us loved it. I really liked that the story was focused on being true to oneself and not getting a man. I ink Tangled did a good job with that, too, with e getting a man being a side note rather than the focus, but I thought the message was much stronger with Brave. There were some weak plot points that could have been improved, but overall I thought it was great.
I liked it because it did not teach my 6 year old grand daughter that she needs to find a prince by the time she was 16=18.
When it was over and we were walking out- she says-- I almost cried there--LOL
I liked it.
