Not quite the breathtaking animation I expected and the story I think could've worked better over more movies or as a series, but it was a well rounded movie and it reminded me a little of The Legend of Zelda which is always a good thing.

My goodness, this film was spectacular. Besides the animation and story being top notch, the characters themselves where engaging and extensive. What a truly incredible movie.

Like naria or something similar where kids travel to another world. It was fun to watch but had some stuff that seemed a bit too adult for children.

Brave Story is a cute story but not a mind-blowing one. The animation looks great in HD and some of the visuals are pretty fantastic but plot-wise, I wasn't as engaged as I had hoped to be.

the animation is really great, the plot not so much. too confusing and therefore frustrating at times.

Another great anime in my anime double-feature (with 2009's Summar Wars). The story tells of a young boy that ventures into a magic world to collect gemstones so that he can be granted his wish to save his mother.
Along the way he experiences some beautiful animation, interacts with some interesting characters and learns some life lessons... how wonderful.
It's a great little story, and while it can be a tad slow and convoluted at times; the sheer beauty of the film draws you in from beginning to end. A good watch, and a great companion piece to Summer Wars for me...
