Check out this Pixar short featuring George and AJ from Pixar’s Up. And because you’ll probably wonder — yes, this is how it’s supposed to look. My guess is that this was a test short and if approved by Pixar bosses would have been fully animated. Instead, we’re left with this animated storyboard-like short, which I actually enjoy a lot.
Check out this new CARS short, which debuted on the Disney Channel on November 20, 2009:
When the Cat’s Away is a 1929 Mickey Mouse short film produced by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.
In the film Mickey and Minnie are portrayed the size of regular mice, whereas Tom Kat is the size of a person.
The Barnyard Battle is a Mickey Mouse short film first released on April 25, 1929. As the title implies it featured a battle between an invading army of cats and an army of mice trying to defend their homes and farms.
The Barn Dance, first released on March 14, 1929, was the first of twelve Mickey Mouse shorts released during that year. It was directed by Walt Disney with Ub Iwerks as the head animator.
The Gallopin’ Gaucho was the second film featuring Mickey Mouse to be produced, following Plane Crazy and preceding Steamboat Willie.
The Walt Disney Company completed the silent version on August 7, 1928. The sound version released on December 30, 1928.
Plane Crazy was first released on May 15, 1928. It was initially released as a silent film, with a soundtrack added later by Carl W. Stalling and released on December 29, 1928.
The short was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Iwerks was also the main animator for this short and reportedly spent six weeks working on it.

Check out this amazing Japanese trailer for Disney’s A Christmas Carol. It’s a complete 180 degree turn compared to the over-the-top American trailer and instead of slapstick, focuses on the ghost aspects of the story. If the previous trailers didn’t get you excited, perhaps this Japanese trailer will. The film will be released in US and UK theaters on November 6, 2009. For other countries, check out the film’s IMDB page.
