As I’m sure you’re counting down the days until Disney Pixar’s newest full length feature  film Finding Dory, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably also eagerly awaiting the release of an equally exciting, yet less covered film as well. Generally clocking in around five minutes or so, Disney Pixar has been known to feed our anticipated expected hunger with short films that are often woven with the perfect blend of emotion and quirkiness strung together. And it looks like with the release of Piper, their newest short debuting alongside Finding Dory on June 18th, will satisfy this craving with an extra dose of cuteness.

Learning to overcome its fear of water over the six minute duration of adorableness (and most likely swoons and chuckles from the audience), Piper will be about a young sandpiper living on the beach. Said to be inspired from the director Alan Barillo watching the birds run around scurrying for food while racing away from each wave that breaches the short, the film seems bound to be another Disney Pixar classic.

 

 

The Good Dinosaur teaser trailer

Posted on by Miss Main Street

Well folks, it’s finally here! As of today you can finally watch the very first (teaser) trailer for Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur. And when I say finally it’s because as of two years ago, the film was actually supposed to have been released last year. Yep, you read the right, last year. As in May of 2014.

So how do I know that little detail? Well, for one, I’m a huge Disney/Pixar fan (big surprise huh?) but also, well, there’s Google. Just do a quick Google search and you’ll easily find plenty of articles outlining what exactly led to the scrapping of much of the original story forcing its debut delay. But for those who just want to know now! I’ll tell you the TL:DR version. Basically the original director of the movie was replaced, the composer changed and much of the plot of the movie reworked . Due to this, Pixar never released a film in 2014 but is slated to release two this year instead to make up for it.

That’s right, The Good Dinosaur is just mere months away from being released after this month’s Inside Out. Which means, one can probably only expect more trailers to be on their way shortly. While it’s too early to tell the finer details of what The Good Dinosaur will encompass, just seeing the two second shot of a boy on a dinosaur brings back fond details of Beany and Cecil, and for me, that’s nostalgia enough to watch it.
