Pixar`s shorts are always a treat in and of themselves – remember the sweet, touching La Luna that opened for Brave? – and this one looks like no exception. It reminds us a little bit of a manga, with the umbrellas sporting easily-sketched and yet so expressive features.
SYNOPSIS: It`s 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 20 June 2013, in front of Monsters University.
