It's H!!

Merida, from Pixar's newest movie Brave

That hair?  Yeah, that's definitely her.

Now, don't think that just because our daughter looks exactly like Merida that we're going to take her to see Brave. We're NOT. 

Why???

1)  PIXAR DOESN'T MAKE THESE MOVIES FOR KIDS.

  They say so themselves!  I don't know why people think that just because a movie's animated means that it's created for and appropriate for children--and especially young children.

2)  My H is so sensitive to anything "dark" that she bursts into tears at the sight or sound of it.  Seriously.  I got a phone call from Ms. L, her teacher's assistant, today saying she'd turned on Babe: Pig in the City as part of their "Friday Fun Day", and H started to cry.  Admittedly, that movie is freakish if you ask me.  Ms. L thought so too and turned it off after about 15 min.

DISNEY does NOT make movies for kids.  

They make movies that they want to see, just as many creative people do.  If it just happens to be child-appropriate, lucky them.

However, just because we're not going to take H to see Brave, doesn't mean that S and I won't go see it. ;) In fact, we're looking forward to it, especially since we have a daughter who looks so much like the main character!

Apparently there's another H look-a-like out there.  

See what she posted on her blog:
