You can absolutely tell how much heart is poured into Brave. The mother-daughter relationship is so real, I cry everytime I see it unfold. And it's so great to see, because usually you see father-son relationships , since, you know, film is kind of stingy when it comes to women. I love Brave so much!

[@BeaFaubryOlivera]

hooked by the beautiful workspace, ended up tearing up because i identify - my personal relationship with my mom was definitely changed by Brave. Thank you for your very important work

[@TimothyHalleran]

These are so comforting and inspiring. Thank you so much guys.

It´s a shame KZbin only has like or unlike choices; I love Merida, Brave, the whole movie, and I love Brenda Chapman, and I knew very little about her, only fragments of information. In this video here, I would like a new option: love.

That a nice house!!!! I want someday to live in a place like that, all peaceful and a beautiful view

2:12-2:17 Those are actually Chris Sanders’s storyboards and dialogue strips.

cool.

[@yyg4632]

I wish she was kept as director. Her mother-daughter story was beautiful but it seemed to be siderailed by the bear story. I'm assuming it's because a male director took over. Pixar does have a very bad history with sexism.

[@angelabby2379]

Um actually i love the results. Its beautiful so the male director did amazing job.

@@angelabby2379 damn you must have not watched the video

[@KOT-br3tk]

@@yyg4632 I don't think this video tells why she was fired but ok with your dum logic

[@juanchoresultay2704]

True, I think Chapman was way ahead of time about a mother/daughter dynamic. Domee Shi , Turning Red director and also the first pixar female director with sole credit, gave justice to that dynamic that Brenda wanted

[@juanchoresultay2704]

Yeah I felt bad that she was sidelined in directorial choices for brave but hey she got an oscar

[@leif1075]

Who wrote the music in this?

[@helenasoldevilla8208]

Is that a Real Oscar???

[@Ineddiblehulk]

Didn't she get moved off Brave?

[@hannahlong3333]

she left because of creative difference as the production came to an end I believe so she still by other recognition for it
