To be honest, I was expecting a lot better than the movie was. I found the music to be pretty jarring in places, and as has been mentioned before, saw the plot coming a mile off. The one thing that bugged the crap out of me was near the end where they're fighting Mordu in the standing stones, bear!Elinor beats Mordu against the stone cracking it, before she's swatted off and Mordu starts advancing on Merida, who, and this is the part that just bugs me, flails there. Then the stone falls on Mordu. Pretty damned anticlimactic. I'd have much preferred her seeing the crack, and in a flash of insight shooting past Mordu and hitting it, bringing down the stone. Would have been such a more fulfilling ending where the heroine actually does something to finish off the villain instead of letting Deus ex Machina/her mother do it
But that's just my rant. Still worth going to see.

The whole point of the movie is that her mother, who she wanted to change, was always there for her, protecting her, and helping her. Even after Merida did something so horrible as to get a spelled pastry to turn her mother into a bear, she was still there, trying to protect her. To me, it makes sense that it was her mother who saved her, cementing home to Merida that her mother has always had her back, which helps her reverse the curse.
Without the context of having seen the movie, since I rarely go to the theatres, and disney-pixar is not the area of the people I go with when I do, so I won't see this til it's on TV, that doesn't sound horrible, that sounds hysterical. Eat Pastry. Become Bear. Hilarity ensues.
