If you don't mind me asking, what gave you that feeling?
It just seems whenever a director has been removed from a film, they tend to leave the studio afterward. Like Brad Lewis with Cars 2, Chris Sanders with American Dog(or Bolt), and there's a few others that I can't remember at the moment. I originally thought she would have left right after they removed her as the main director, but she didn't, she stayed. Maybe it was to see how well Brave did, or to get her name out there, who knows. I just keep thinking there's no way she's going to stay at Pixar for much longer after that. I mean, it seems like Lucasfilm is giving her better projects than Pixar did. And I wondered if she stays, is Pixar going to let her direct again? Probably not.

I've loved reading everyone's comments on the film though

Just like Leirin, I absolutely hate transformation plots. With all my might. I did know that the film would rely heavily on this, for months now, and my enthusiasm for it died right away.
Also like Leirin, I liked the first act better than the rest of the film, and I think the score is awesome, though I wasn't much of a fan of the inclusion of songs, but even those weren't horrible, luckily.
But for me, the stand out were the visuals. The environments were absolutely spectacular (that river!), and though I never lover the character design (except for Angus), the textures and motions are so beautiful, that I can forget all my prejudices.
For instance, I never shied away from being critic of Merida's look since Pixar revealed her, but watching her in action on the film totally sold her to me. And her chibi form is absolutely cute

I short, it's not a bad film AT ALL, but it's not a Pixar masterpiece in the storytelling departments, just the technical ones.
Anyway, I must admit that my main criticism of the picture is because of a personal pet peeve of mine, so other people should be fine with it.

Most likely because it wasn't as well received as TS3 and Up.

Well, our posters say "from the creators of WALL-E and Cars-2"

As for the movie itself, it was good in my opinion. It's a pleasure to watch, and don't get me started on the animation quality. However, the movie in whole lacked something. Maybe originality, unpredictability, tension or something else. I just didn't watch it like TS3, Up and others, when I couldn't tear my eyes away from screen. Also, I personally didn't like the amount of slapstick. I mean, Pixar usually can manage with little of it or without it at all. Overall, I enjoyed the movie, but I was expecting more. Brave just didn't have a certain spark for me.

I'll write a proper review when I consolidate my thoughts, but for now, let's just say that there were some parts I liked, and some that I didn't.
Is it the best movie of the year? Hmmm... I'll get back to you on that.
