            Brave was mixed really well like most Pixar movies.  The movie was set in Scotland and the sounds for the movie sounded like it was really from Scotland.  Not just the vocals were Scottish, but the music and sounds like the bagpipes really brought the movie together.  The scenes I covered, each had appropriate music for the time and the sound came together quite nicely.  Wreck It Ralph and Brave were both mixed in the same studio, Walt Disney Pictures and they both sound like a Disney movie should sound.  Kids and adults both like the movie and I believe without the sound the movies have, the movie would not have been a success.
