All the lost toys and clothes are assembled into a playground guardian, who is otherwise invisible beneath. Lou is one day challenged by a bully who swipes the belongings of the other children. What begins as a funny battle between Lou and J.J. (the bully), evolves into a tender, moving story about compassion. Bullies hurt others because they&#8217;ve been hurt themselves. But rather than simply excuse J.J.&#8217;s behavior, Lou\u00a0offers him the opportunity to give and receive compassion.<br \/>\nA wordless short, <em>Lou<\/em> is one of the studio&#8217;s most innovative creations. As Dave Mullins revealed at the press junket last week, the character was animated entirely by hand, with &#8220;no computer shortcuts or simulations.&#8221; The animation here is truly impressive, as Lou morphs into a variety of clever shapes and disguises.<br \/>\nYou can catch a glimpse of Lou&#8217;s immense charm in the exclusive clip below.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0iYsBnj2BUk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nSee Lou with <em>Cars 3<\/em> this Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>A lost and found box on the school playground looks very ordinary on the outside, but it&#8217;s teeming with life and magic within.
