Your Friend the Rat is Pixar's first short film to feature traditional animation. At 11 minutes, it is also the longest Pixar short to date. Along with 2D animation, the short also includes stop-motion animation, computer generated imagery (CGI) and live action, much like the children's television show,A Little Curious. Like the feature length film on which it is based, Your Friend the Rat also features a musical sequence.
The short takes on the form of an educational film and stars Remy and Emile, two brown rats who argue for the reconciliation of humans and rats. They use historical facts presented to various styles of animation, as well as biased nonsense.
Your Friend the Rat won the Best Animated Short Subject category at the 35th annual Annie Awards and was released on DVD and Blu-ray with Disney·Pixar's Ratatouille (November 6, 2007).
I have yet to watch Ratatouille. I shall be sure to check out Your Friend The Rat. As Bob said, it looks cute ^_^

RépondreSupprimerI wish there was more traditional animation nowadays, I'm sick of 3D movies
RépondreSupprimerWell, It's pretty interesting to say the least..
RépondreSupprimeri've seen these, I like them
RépondreSupprimerIt almost seems like 2D animation is going to be a lost art before too long. +follow
RépondreSupprimerOh yeah, this one is really good :)
RépondreSupprimerUhm, I didn't though Ratatouille was worth watching, maybe I'll give it a shot now.
RépondreSupprimerGreat movie man!
RépondreSupprimerHaha that was a great movie.
RépondreSupprimerI didn't like Ratatouille as I did some other cartoon flix. Just a little boring for my taste.
RépondreSupprimerVery interesting stuff. I still prefer 3d (rendered) movies though.
RépondreSupprimerThanks for the share, always loved ratatouille
RépondreSupprimerThat was awesome. Pixar is on a whole other level of animation movie making. It's all in the stories which most of these studios don't understand. Love Pixar.
