There should always be somebody around to point things out indelicately, just so that they're out there in the world. I am frequently happy to fill that role, and seeing as "Brave" is set to hit theaters in only a week now, I couldn't help but raise awareness for another cinematic treat that comes coupled with it. I speak of "La Luna", Enrico Casarosa's short film which is to be attached to the Pixar outing. The bits and pieces that have eked their way online have been both gorgeous and sweet, and mark a slight return to form for Pixar. Not too long ago, something happened that changed the Pixar landscape in a way nobody could have foreseen.The mind may spring to "Cars 2", but I am in fact speaking of "Toy Story 3". I'm not about to lodge a complaint against the animated endeavor, as it in fact is so tightly constructed a conclusion as to delight, dazzle, and bring to tears anybody who watches it. Still, it seems that Pixar is having a little too much trouble filing a divorce from that precious franchise, which has manifested in a series called "Toy Story Toons". First shown a year ago in front of "Cars 2", and then again in front of "The Muppets", the shorts offer us the chance to reunite with those characters we've come to know and love so dearly, offering us the chance to never truly lose them.
