Josh Cooley, story artist at Pixar, has done a nifty little 2D short film featuring two minor characters from Up, and to promote the DVD & Blue-ray of the flick Pixar has posted it to their Facebook page.


For those who might claim that Pixar's success is due to the budgets they spend on their features and shorts, witness the evidence to the contrary. With very limited animation (somewhere in the range of an animatic, only a couple of steps up from storyboards), Cooley manages to pack a lot of humor and genuine laughs into the four-minute short.
