Your Friend The Rat stills

Pixar 2D Animation short

The first hand-drawn animated 2-D short in Pixar's history.

Jim Capobianco, who directed the short, titled "Your Friend the Rat" told reporters that he got the idea from seeing how much research the filmmakers did into rat behavior and history—much of which never made it into the final film.

"We had to be kind of smart and think of ways to put this together," Capobianco told a group of reporters at Pixar's headquarters in Emeryville, Calif., on Oct. 29. That meant finding people who could do the traditional animation, drawn with pencils on paper, as well as finding space at Pixar's vast campus to produce the 11-minute movie, which is also, oxymoronically, the longest short Pixar has ever produced.

Pencils on paper ? How about that ! What'll they think of next ?
