First Look: Gary Rydstrom Directs Hawaiian Vacation! [UPDATE]

News Short Film Toy Story Toy Story 3

Entertainment Weekly brings us our first ever look at Pixar’s new short, Hawaiian Vacation!

Directed by Gary Rydstrom, the first installment in the ‘Toy Story Toons’ series returns fans to Bonnie’s room as she gets ready for a trip to the Aloha State. It appears as though the toys have island plans of their own, too.

Although the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly is in stores now, the exclusive Hawaiian Vacation images are not yet officially online. However, IndieWire has provided scans and from what we’ve seen some far, the short’s production design looks top notch.

Hawaiian Vacation will premiere in front of Cars 2 when it begins its US run on June 24. Other ‘Toy Story Toons’ are set to play subsequently; notably, a second short will be attached to Disney’s The Muppets in late 2011.

Update: Disney/Pixar has released both preview images in full high resolution! Click to view larger.
