Fans of Pixar short films have had some pleasant surprises recently as details regarding the newest short "La Luna" have emerged. Earlier this month, Pixar released a synopsis and a still photo from the short, and this week saw even more bits of information about the film surface.

The movie was not yet completed but we were able to watch the first 30 minutes. From the very start of the film, I was gripped and when the lights came on I was so disappointed!
