4. The Big Bad Bear Is the Big Bad Brother - Brave
I enjoyed Brave, despite it being one of Pixar's weaker films. And I'm fully aware that it's a kids movie, so I by no means was expecting a Keyser Soze turn-around before the credits started rolling. But the "twist" of the bad "guy" in the film actually being the legendary brother that took off Merida's father's leg at the beginning of the movie could even be seen miles away by kids sitting next to me. And I understand that there's a lesson to be learned in the moral that greed is...er...bad. But I think that Brave was a pretty fantastically wholesome film without that little side-track.
