I was gonna review it back when I'd returned from the States, but I forgot.

Isn't it out yet? I confess I declined to wait for the delayed showing and went to America to see it instead.
Though I actually ended up seeing it in Canada. Which is mostly important because it meant I got a hilarious pre-movie ad about Canada celebrating the 200th anniversary of them kicking America's ass (that's how they remember it in Canada, anyway).
I liked it. It is good to have a kick-ass Disney princess for once. Granted, it got a little soppy in the end, but two female main characters whose narratives focus on their growth as people (rather than, say, as women in relation to some prince), can I just say it's about bloody time.
I kind of have to agree with the prevailing opinion - it's a good movie by Disney standards (although I don't know that I'd necessarily rank it above the surprisingly good Tangled), but not up to Pixar's very demanding standards.
And they had done a beautiful job on Scotland: that is exactly what it is like.
Definitely one of the most gorgeous animated movies ever, yes. But everything else wasn't entirely up to that level.

Most of us were fine with Mulan. We didn't need to see what it would look like in Scotland *NM*

Most critics saw it as a let down for Pixar

Yep, this. Wife's opinion: "Good for a movie, bad for a Pixar movie." *NM*
