Sneak Peek: The Blue Umbrella

The WSJ has a sneak peek of Pixar's latest short, The Blue Umbrella...



Pixar's really on a love kick, aren't they? Fine with it!

The animated eyes on the umbrellas are cute, and the animated rain feels super realistic (especially in comparison to the intentionally unrealistic eyes). I hope the story is strong enough to back it all up!

Also, I'm a big fan of the director's name: Saschka Unseld - very Eastern European/Russian... just wondering if it's a guy Saschka (whatever) or a girl Saschka (awesome!).
