Brave vs Quest for Camelot: A Celtic Challenge

posted by deedragongirl

Hello Merida.

Since I had watched both movies, here are my thoughts on both movies since they're both Celtic and centres around motherly love.

Quest for Camelot

I started watching this film back in 2007, and I was quite amazed that the song 'The Prayer' because I did not know that this song was originally from this movie! The story-line was just like our typical Disney Princess movie but overall, I feel bad for Garrett and I'm glad that the movie shows more sympathy for him.
The songs reminded of the Lion King where we have an antagonist having their own theme song and a song for the main character as sung by the supporting character and all so on. But, one of the songs that I absolutely dislike is the Prayer because it's overplay and I'm glad that Frozen's Let it Go managed to topple it!
Overall, I think that this movie is one of the underrated movies that I had ever seen.

Brave

Okay, I watched this 3 years ago and my first impressions was that it reminded me of Quest for Camelot due to the fact that they have similar Celtic culture (Quest for Camelot being set in Ireland, while Brave is set in Scotland).
Despite that it only has one song in it, I really love the music as it is a great introduction to Scottish music and I love their accent too along with their Irish counterparts!
I love the interaction with Merida and the other characters, especially with her mother. In other words, motherly love.

Change Your Fate

So, do you agree with my thoughts on these 2 Celtic movies?

Arthur, where are you?

andy10B Im not keen on brave its just not disney princess enough so quest for camelot is better even though I have only seen it once

wavesurf I find both movies watchable, with Quest for Camelot a bit more funny and entertaining. I will have to disagree with you on 'The Prayer,' because I never heard that song sung outside of Quest for Camelot. I do not remember it getting a lot of constant radio play. Let It Go holds the record for being the most over-sung song in the entire history of cinema.

connor3 Very interesting idea. Quest for Camelot is probably my favourite non-Disney animated movie. It's really hard to choose the better one. If I would go with story, QfC is probably a little better, but because of characters, I would choose Brave.
