But the transfer handles it beautifully, with no motion artifacts or any sign of compression noise. Of course, again, none of this is surprising since this is coming directly from the digital source, so all of this should have been accounted for already. And all of this comes through crisply and clearly in this Blu-ray transfer, allowing you to make out every hair on Merida’s head, every knick in the castle wall, and every little detail of vegetation in the striking backgrounds.Ĭolours also look incredible, leaping off of the screen, and black levels are perfect. ![]() Even the movement of the various bears, right down to the folds in the fat (also covered in the features) is striking. ![]() I remember being struck by the fur found on one of the characters in Monster’s, Inc., amazed at how they could get the movement, but they’ve come even further with the tight, tangled curls of the hero, which flow naturally throughout. Brave certainly doesn’t suffer from that, as there are intricate little details in everything, from the rocks on the side of a cliff, to the textures of the stone walls in the various castles, the moss that is growing everywhere (generated using computer algorithms according to the special features,) and finally to the red mess of curly hair on the film’s protagonist.
