The Morning Watch: Behind The VFX Magic Of Hawkeye, Encanto Honest Trailer & More

(The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fan-made productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.)

In this edition, get a closer look at the VFX work that Industrial Light & Magic did on Marvel's "Hawkeye" TV series. Plus, Disney's "Encanto" gets the Honest Trailer treatment, and they'll probably talk about Bruno a little bit. And finally, "Peacemaker" star John Cena got into his full superhero wardrobe to break down the many characters he's played over the years, from his professional wrestling persona to Vin Diesel's brother in the "Fast and Furious" franchise and beyond.

First up, Industrial Light & Magic shows off the work they put into Marvel's "Hawkeye" TV series on Disney+. Much of this breakdown focuses on the creation of Rockefeller Plaza where the famous Christmas tree stands during the holidays.
