The idea of parenting with movies is interesting, but the speaker is not – especially after he pointed out Brave. Seriously – BRAVE?

I mean – princess movie. Ok. Whatever. But – the story? What Brave teaches girls:
“be stubborn, rebel against any authority, ignore your parents and if you have serious problem, get out from the house. Don’t worry, everything will be fine, you do not even have to try or make any efforts, the world itself will take care of you, you do not have to try to empathize others, because in the end, they will understand and accept your point of view completely.”

That movie suck. Not because it is a princess movie, but because the story it is telling, because boring Disney-like character dynamics (or, I should say, the lack of it), because unjustified story twists and multiple deus-ex-machina interventions, which are the only thing which keeps the story moving.
Pixar success was not about awesome animations, but about the original stories and “realistic” characters. Brave has no original story and all characters there are boring.
