Aw, I love Pixar
Jun. 14th, 2009 05:38 pmThey're making a Dug short!
I was talking about this trend--started by The Incredibles? Monsters, Inc.?--whereby Pixar makes little animated shorts that take place in the realm of their movies (as opposed to the shorts they show before the movie which are independent of the film). I love these little movies way more than I should. My entire family can quote "Jack-Jack Attack" (and does, especially when sitting around in a game of Hearts).
Anywho, I was so keen on them having more with Dug, the really dim and adorable puppy from Up and now they will! Hurrah!

"Presto" was an amazing bit of Looney Tunes-style fun, in the Bugs Bunny tradition. "Burn-E" is like the old Coyote and Road Runner cartoons. (Only better because it doesn't rely on physical violence, just Sisyphean laboring.)
