A Pixar feature wouldn’t be the same without a short attached to it. These shorts are innovative and beautiful stories from Pixar artists but are not a part of the animation studio’s brain trust. Often times these shorts are proving ground for new technologies that pave the way for upcoming features. These theatrical shorts are fun to watch nonetheless as they have the same charm and allure as any full-length Pixar flick, but just in fun size.

But it is a little bit different for Dante’s Lunch, a short used as an animation test for Coco which comes to us from Coco and Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich. More on this story and watch the short below.

Disney”¢Pixar has released a teaser trailer for Coco, the animation studio’s long-awaited Dia de los Muertos movie.

The movie is directed by Lee Unkrich, who won an Oscar for his work directing Toy Story 3 and who also co-directed Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo. Adrian Molina co-directs. Starring is newcomer Anthony Gonzalez, Benjamin Bratt (Doctor Strange, Despicable Me 2), Gael García Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle, Amores Perros), and Renée Victor (Weeds, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones).

Some new details have been revealed about Coco, the Dia de los Muertos movie being made by animation giant Pixar. The movie is one of two being released by Pixar in 2017, along with the sequel Cars 3, and the only original title of theirs planned until 2020. The Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 are currently scheduled for released in 2018 and 2019.

The Walt Disney Company chairman Bob Iger has officially announced that Pixar is making Toy Story 4, and that original Toy Story director John Lasseter will be returning to helm the fourth installment himself.

Disney has also locked in the June 16, 2017 calendar spot for a release date. The story will see Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toys beginning a new chapter. The idea for the story was developed by some of the Pixar Brain Trust, including two-time Oscar-winner Lasseter (Toy Story, Tin Toy), two-time Oscar winner Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E), Oscar winner Pete Docter (Up), and Toy Story 2 co-director and Oscar-winning Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich.

Earlier this week, reports of Pixar pulling Bob Peterson off directing The Good Dinosaur surfaced. He was notably absent at both the animation presentation and The Good Dinosaur panel at D23, leaving some wondering if there was trouble between the two parties.

Well, it isn’t so much trouble, but more of just a shift in direction. The LA Times confirms the news of Peterson’s departure from the project. However, the director, who was the voice of Roz in Monsters, Inc, will remains a part of the Pixar family. The film’s directorial duties will go to the Pixar Brain Trust, which consists of: John Lasseter, Lee Unkrich, Mark Andrews, and Pete Sohn, the latter of whom had originally been co-director with Peterson.
