The first Pixar movie to revolve around a female main character, Brave does have a strong message about family relationships and open communication between parents and kids (particularly mothers and daughters). There's also a lot of brawling among the Scotsmen, who use both weapons (arrows, swords, etc.) and their bodies (fists, teeth) on each other. A moment when the mom-turned-bear temporarily forgets she's human and growls at her daughter could upset younger kids. Several intense sequences involve a large angry bear that attacks the main characters - which are even more so when seen in 3-D - and (possible spoiler alert) a possibly disturbing but mostly comical transformation of a mother into a bear. Parents need to know that Brave is pretty scary for a "princess movie," especially for kids under 7 and/or those who are very sensitive to peril.
