First Image from New Pixar Short ‘The Blue Umbrella’

One of the best things about a new Pixar film being released is that they are always accompanied by a new Pixar short! As a lover of short films and a lover of animation, there is nothing better.

Here is the first still from The Blue Umbrella the new Pixar short:

The Blue Umbrella featuring Blue and Red

From the film’s publicist:

It is just another evening commute until the rain starts to fall, and the city comes alive to the sound of dripping rain pipes, whistling awnings and gurgling gutters. And in the midst, two umbrellas—one blue, one not—fall eternally in love.

From Pixar Animation Studios, director Saschka Unseld and producer Marc Greenberg, The Blue Umbrella opens in theatres on June 21, 2013, in front of Monsters University.
