  1. I really enjoyed Brave. Haven’t seen the others.

  2. Well they deserved it! They make some of the best movies out there. I’m glad they are getting some rewards from it. Besides money.

    • That’s an excellent way to put it, Elle – rewards that aren’t money. I’m sure all the people who poured weeks. months, and years into each film appreciate that others loved their work that much!
