"Brave, Pixar’s 13th feature film, is indeed rather brave. Yes,
it strays from the romance focus; yes, it gives us a strong female lead;
yes, it questions hetero-monogamous-marriage as the happy
ending. But the real derring-do comes from the fact that it is
woman-centered and focused on a mother-daughter relationship. Less
overtly, it also supplies a witty visual onslaught of gender as
performance, particularly via the body-swap portion of the narrative in
which Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) acts out her uber-feminine ways in big bear drag."
