Earlier this year, Pixar released a video introduction to their new collection of artists’ projects, SparkShorts, that will begin streaming on Disney+ November 12.
Today, they’ve shared a short video that shows a quick look at each short in the collection so far; take a look.
“The SparkShorts program is designed to discover new storytellers, explore new storytelling techniques, and experiment with new production workflows. These films are unlike anything we’ve ever done at Pixar, providing an opportunity to unlock the potential of individual artists and their inventive filmmaking approaches on a smaller scale than our normal fare.” – Jim Morris – President, Pixar Animation Studios
Below are the new posters that were released today along with a brief synopsis of what to expect for each of the SparkShorts.
