A recent article at VFX World looks at the steadily reviving animated shorts program at Disney, the never-dormant shorts program at Pixar, the new short First Flight from DreamWorks Animation, as well as animated shorts from other companies. The article mentions a short feature directed by John Lasseter to be included on the DVD for Cars (in the same vein as Mike’s Car on the Monster’s Inc. DVD), plans to show a short with Meet the Robinsons and more.
The long and the short of it: animated shorts revival
