It acknowledges the current model is no longer feasible, but rather than offering up mere pessimism, Schuiten’s work, like solarpunk, shows us a way forward. Schuiten’s designs, which share much with Art Nouveau, imagine a brighter future marked by sustainability, peace, and prosperity rather than the overwrought consumerism, greed, and plundering of natural resources that are the hallmarks of industrialization.

In addition, it uses the theoretical and technical concepts we already have and combines them with the attitudes toward development which are best suited to the realities and necessities of our life on Earth … Free from all the constraints imposed by capitalism, this far-sighted vision of our environment considers our various ways of life against a background of sustainable development.”
When he writes of what inspired him to create Vegetal City, he could have been penning a solarpunk primer: “To break with everything you know and to conceive a dream of somewhere else, of a different way of living-it’s one of the most fascinating intellectual ideas you can examine. Schuiten coined the term archiborescence, a kind of architecture that uses living substances like trees and plants as building materials. So too is the work of Luc Schuiten, a Belgian architect whose visionary designs like Vegetal City anticipated the movement. One of the most iconic pieces of Art Nouveau architecture is the Paris Métropolitain station-and public transit is super solarpunk.” Art Nouveau makes things beautiful just for beauty’s sake, in a way that’s accessible to everyone, not just the rich. “One of the things that makes our current society so sad and drab is that everything these days is built either for efficiency or pure excess. “I think there’s something about the ornamentalism of it all that’s really appealing to solarpunks,” Albrecht says. It’s not merely an appeal to the natural world, though. It’s an aesthetic that strays away from sharp corners and straight edges, which is a clear marker of human artificiality.” Even its abstract forms tend to have soft, curving lines. It’s a colorful aesthetic ripe with flowers, vines, branches, reeds, and so on. “In my understanding, Art Nouveau became a part of solarpunk simply because the aesthetic of Art Nouveau is all about incorporating organic designs,” she says. Instead, solarpunk design often recalls the finest tenets of Art Nouveau, according to author and musician Rosie Albrecht, who edits the solarpunk zine Optopia. It’s got a DIY vibe and is concerned with social justice and climate change, and its aesthetic bears no resemblance to the polluted industrial wasteland that so much of science fiction inhabits. Owing an indisputable debt to cyberpunk, biopunk, and steampunk, its ethos nonetheless is rooted in environmentalism and the hope that clean energy like solar power represents. A relatively new literary and artistic movement born out of speculative fiction, solarpunk is sci-fi on ecstasy, more utopian rather than dystopian, a place of lush, fertile beauty bursting with life that seamlessly unites the technology-driven modern world with the natural one. Because if Merida does not make a stand here, she is going to be a doormat for the rest of her life.It’s an answer, a rallying cry even, to a planet in peril. Careless, maybe(like nobody ever learned anything from "Macbeth" concerning witches in Scotland) but not selfish.

Even worse is how the movie harps on Merida's so-called selfishness.

But at the same time, Pixar's DNA commingling with Disney's is taking shape, and it's not entirely pretty, as there are also anachronistic silliness and minor vulgarities here. With the entertaining "Brave," Pixar's winning streak of high quality animation continues. All of whom she promptly embarrasses with her superior bow skills, before getting in an argument with her mother and then running away into the forest where she comes across a witch minding her business. But as a princess, she has certain responsibilities that her younger brothers do not, like presiding over a competition of three suitors for her hand in marriage. In "Brave," Merida would like nothing more than to run around with her bow and arrow all day.
