in motion, kinetic, even her teenageness, that is vad venture and action, he's in transition. >> she has her flaws, we wanted to represent that. you don't want a movie about a bratty teenager nor about a domineering mother. they have to each give and that was really hard to fine tune. >> reporter: a teenager who in a moment of rebellion turns her mother into a bear. and spends the rest of the film trying to save her. why did you come up with this idea that the mother would be a bear? does that show her stronger? >> you know, first of all, there is the protection element. no one, no one more powerful than a mother bear protecting her young. there is that protectiveness. >> reporter: as they have so many times before, pixar has pushed creative boundaries as far as they can and this is where the fantasy begins with a

bunch of grownup kids. for "nightline," bob road ruff -- woodruff in emeriville, california. >> see how "brave" fares here on abc february 24, the big show airs. coming up next from the hurricane-ravaged shores of new orleans to battle scarred hills afghanistan, this team of air force warriors has a job as terrifying as it is heroic. hey, it's me, progressive insurance. you know, from our 4,000 television commercials. yep, there i am with flo. hoo-hoo! watch it!
