Short Film Review: Pixar's The Blue Umbrella
 |
| Screen Slam |
Not one of Pixar's better shorts, although we will be forever grateful to Pixar for the tradition. Like the previous shorts, there are no words – just a musical score and the occassional sound effects. But the best part is still the animation, which Pixar does better than anybody else in the industry.

Character design isn't really exceptional, as the inanimate objects still look inanimate despite the eyes and mouths. The beauty, however, lies in the rendering. The wet sheen under night lights looks so realistic, you'd think they just animated the umbrellas over live-action footage. Which, of course, they didn't.
