Your Friend the Rat (2007)

Your Friend the Rat provided Pixar Studio with opportunities for experimentation. Pixar studio experimented with playing around with new medium. Well, it was actually old medium again, but they're doing it in 2D and stop motion, etc. At 11 minutes, it is also the longest Pixar short to date. Along with hand drawn animation, the short also includes stop-motion animation, computer generated imagery and live action.
The short features Remy & Emile as they guide viewers through the history of the rat and attempt to correct some common misperceptions in an effort to persuade human viewers not to kill the ubiquitous rodents.
Your Friend the Rat was nominated in the Best Animated Short Subject category at the 35th annual Annie Awards. The short was directed by Jim Capobianco, who says he was particularly inspired by Ward Kimball, and was written by Jeff Pidgeon and Alexander Woo.
It is available on the Ratatouille dvd and Blu-ray.
