SPECIAL: Be Brave

Brave, the upcoming animation from Disney and Pixer will be the first animation with heroine lead role. Is it a sign to promote more gender equality? In any case, there is/are true heroine in our personal life, I am not sure about you, for me, my mum is the heroine in my life, without her, I would not be who I am today. In many occasions, she has done her heroine act in protecting us from all the external threats, big and small.

Now, let's get back to the movie, following are some additional details of Brave for your reading pleasure:

The Synopsis:

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson).

Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Weekly Box Office Movies in US, Singapore and Malaysia (#14-20120624)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies for the week ending 24th June 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE (US): This week, there are 2 new releases: Brave (Pixer's latest animation) and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (a horror and fantasy genre). Brave tops the chart with better than expected result whereas the Axe wielding Vampire Hunter failed to make a big bang in the US box office (I've watched the premiere and find it very entertaining with one of the best slo-mo fighting sequences I've ever seen).

Brave - Animation (Jun 2012)

At the moment, I believed the just released "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" has taken the US box office by storm (basing on the estimates, it will top the US Box office chart for the weekend ending 10th Jun 2012). For the animation movie lover, the next animation movie to be look out for is "Brave".  The very distinct advantage of "Brave" that set it apart from the many recent animation releases is its original storyline i.e. it is not a prequel nor sequel. Finally, some freshness of idea and creativity comes into play.

With great storyline (assumption basing on the trailer and synopsis) and stunning visual, I am pretty sure that it will surpass Pixar's previous animation movie released, Cars 2. Also, it looks set to bravely take the box office by storm (pun intended)!   

Do take note that Brave will be released in US on 22nd June 2012 but will only be released in Singapore on 8th August 2012 (more than 1 month after its US release).

Enjoy...
