2007-Nov-01: Pixar in 2D!!! =)

The acclaimed 2D animated end credits for Ratatouille gave us a taste of what those guys at Pixar are capable of doing in this medium.

Now I've just read the news telling that the upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray Ratatouille discs will bring us the first 2D short from Pixar! =)

I have already bought my Ratatouille DVD (in pre-sale) and now I have one more reason to be counting the days until the release date. While we wait for the release, Animated News shows us how's it going to look.
