Let me start by saying I am not a parent of any young child, and I am also not a child myself. I'm in that middle group called the 20 somethings and so I was questioning whether I should go to this movie at all. I ended up going with my younger sister and my mom and I am glad I went, and especially glad I went with my mom.
This movie, I believe, is intended for older kids and their parents. There are a lot of moments that could be scary to little kids. And some of the main themes of the movie are hard for younger kids to grasp. I would recommend waiting for the DVD if you have young (under 6 yo or so) kids.
Now this movie is not, to me, as good as some other Pixar movies overall. But I did feel the themes and the emotions this movie conveys are absolutely above many other animated Pixar movies. The movie was incredibly touching. The relationship between Merida and her mother is the underlying story. And seeing this and thinking about your relationship with your own mother, whether you are 10, 20, or 50, really helps bring this movie to life.
Overall, not the best Pixar movie for most. But definitely still worthy of your money.
