With thanks to Animated News via the Liudger blog, we have news of Pixar‘s new short film entitled One Man Band, which premiered at the 29th Annecy Animation Festival, which just came to a close in France.
The short is directed by Mark Andrews and produced by Osnat Shurer, head of Pixar’s SHorts group. It is a “the humorously captivating tale of a peasant girl who, with one coin to make a wish at the piazza fountain, encounters two competing street performers who’d prefer the coin find its way their tip jars. As the two one-man bands’ rivalry crescendos, the two overly eager musicians vie to win the little girl’s attention” says Shurer and Andrews.
Willem-Jan L. Van Rootselaar, the owner of the blog said “The short was not yet printed on final film rol. The time code was still in lower corner”.
One Man Band is expected to debut to wider audiences as the lead in to Pixar’s next feature film, Cars, released 9 June next year.
As long as it’s not like the previous short they had prior to the incredibles, it’s all good with me.
Thankyou for your comments. We appreciate them here at UpcomingPixar.
Pixar will probably win another Acadamy award or Oscar with this. Looks like a great film.
