I didn't dislike Up, The Incredibles, or Wall-E, but I related to a mother-daughter story on a different level than I could those three. That emotional connection was part of the reason I like Brave more (although it wasn't the only reason). When it comes out on dvd and I watch it every day for month, I might change my opinion.

I liked The Incredibles better, because I'm a comic book geek - but I liked it better than Wall-E and Up. Wall-E and Up were manipulative - possibly better movies, but I didn't LIKE them as well. I've watched each of those movies once and really have no desire to ever revisit them.

For that comment, you must change your username. Rarity has class and style and would never approve of Brave.

Rarity would LOVE her dresses and want to do her hair.

No, I think she simply believed
SPOILER:
the Queen would need to cover herself and the tapestry made a dandy blanket.
