Featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with the films many artists and filmmakers, The Art of Brave showcases the concept art that went into the making of this movie, including color scripts, storyboards, character studies, environment art, sculpts, and more. A Foreword by Brenda Chapman and Mark Andrews, the films directors, and a preface by Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter shed light on the creation of this film.
