Although general audiences will have to wait until June to see Pixar’s latest short, a handful of lucky folks have had the opportunity to screen La Luna at a couple of international film festivals.
To whet your appetite and pique your curiosity, Disney/Pixar has released another high-resolution still (click to view larger) from the Enrico Casarosa directed vignette. If you’re not familiar with the plot yet, feel free to read the studio’s official synopsis:
"La Luna is the timeless fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family’s most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?"
La Luna opens with Brave on June 22, 2012.

As other studios cartoons get more and more detailed and complex visuals, why do Pixar cartoons get more and more simplistic looking?
Because simplicity is better than needless minutiae.
Also substance > style.
Not sure if you saw the clip…here’s a link.
