FYI, the ³Brave² video was actually directed by actress Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones (and Peggy Lipton, who is white), so it¹s got at least some African-American influences. And as the official video for a song from a movie soundtrack, I expect the ³Happy² video had a much bigger budget than the ³Brave² video, making all those clothing changes and extra cast members possible.
