"Pixar&amp;#039;s latest movie Brave debuts on Blu-ray and DVD on November 26, with a special short film as part of the home release package. The Legend of Mor&amp;#039;du delves into the backstory of Brave&amp;#039;s ferocious bear, who in his previous life was a prince who sought to gain control of his family&amp;#039;s kingdom. Watch an exclusive preview of The Legend of Mor&amp;#039;du below:  Mor&amp;#039;du director Brian Larsen, a storyboard artist on Pixar&amp;#039;s Ratatouille, told Digital Spy of the film: &amp;quot;You get the entire backstory of the demon bear Mor&amp;#039;du. You get little bits and pieces throughout the film, and then in the short we go deeper to discover what steps happened, and how he actually becomes a bear, and you get to see really what he has done. &amp;quot;So it&amp;#039;s a cautionary tale, and it mirrors Merida&amp;#039;s story - there&amp;#039;s a kingdom and there&amp;#039;s four brothers and the kingdom is falling, in kind of the exact same way that Merida&amp;#039;s story is playing out.&amp;quot;  Larsen added of Mor&amp;#039;du&amp;#039;s distinct visual style: &amp;quot;We called it like a moving graphic, and what really intrigued me about it is, since it was a story being told, we really wanted to give it its own little look, as if it was somebody&amp;#039;s imagination. &amp;quot;I love the painterly style, I always love the art... the development artwork that goes into movies, but you never really see them unless you buy the book. So I wanted to say, let&amp;#039;s make a short where those paintings are the main focus of the piece. &amp;quot;It just gave us this ancient look, and made us feel like we were just a little bit further away from Brave, in the sense that it doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily feel too real.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Brave&amp;#039; filmmakers choose a Scottish movie playlist &amp;gt; Win: Signed official &amp;#039;Brave&amp;#039; artwork, Blu-ray Brave is out on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on November 26, 2012.
