The Blue Umbrella
Directed by Saschka Unseld
Produced by Pixar
A lyrical, visually enchanting short film that transforms an ordinary rainy commute into a tender romance between anthropomorphized umbrellas through selective color and whimsical sound design.
It is just another evening commute until the rain starts to fall, and the city comes alive to the sound of dripping rain pipes, whistling awnings and gurgling gutters.
