In honor of the upcoming Oscar season, Disney has released two Behind the Scenes Featurettes on the making of Brave. Disney Pixar’s Brave was a really beautiful movie even if you judged it solely on Merida’s hair. Speaking of Merida’s hair, how about a whole featurette devoted to her hair, dress movement and facial expressions. It’s just magical what these artists can create.
