Disney seemingly effortlessly blurs the line between hand-drawn and CG animation.  Some have been noodling with this for years (think “Futurama,” for instance, with some moments rendered in CG that mimics hand drawing) but Disney’s taken it quite a bit further along and reminds us, with a short that echoes some of the best kind of moments Disney movies have so aptly created over the last century, why the studio was once so successful.  I hope this is a starting point for bigger and better things from the studio.
