Thanks for being so respectful!

If they were trying to present a typical teenager, I don't find they succeeded. In Merida, they exaggerated a few teenager characteristics and she is not shown favorably, so it's a good thing she's so cute. When her parents talk ebout her, and Fergus pretends to be Merida to have the argument with Elinor - it seems to me that the filmmakers imitate teenagers in the same grotesque way.

Ând about her awkwardness... well, it's hard to say, because ALL the people around her are so WEIRD, she looks so normal next to all of them!!! Seriously, those three tribes and their leaders, the servants in the castle and actually all five members of Merida's family - maybe its okay to be an oddball in a society of oddballs!

It's definitely easier to diagnose Mulan, because it's a much deeper movie. I like Brave and Frozen less than the classical DIsney movies, because there is just something disturbing about them, like a kind of shallowness and modernism... I don't know. Not to mention the fact that I can't bring myself to love a CGI princess.
