Pixar, the animation studio responsible for popular films for children such as "Up"," Toy Story", and "Inside Out" has a new short movie to offer called, "Borrowed Time." Though Pixar is known for incorporating their movies with themes that can be much too serious for the kids, their latest offering is apparently more tragic and dark that parents should better shield the youngsters from it.
"Borrowed Time" is the result of a wonderful collaboration between Andrew Coats and Lou Hamou-Lhadj who wrote and directed the film. This short animated film shows a sheriff's emotional return to a painful past. With effective soundtrack, realistic animation, and excellent storytelling, the creators successfully let the audience feel the character's immense grief.

As displayed in "Borrowed Time's" official page, the six-minute film has been receiving awards. A few of them include a Best Show award from SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival and a Grand Jury Prize in Nashville Fish Festival. The movie though is not recommended for children as the themes covered in the story may still be difficult for youngsters to comprehend.
In an interview that appeared in Cartoon Brew, the creators shared the challenges they faced while working on the film which actually took five years to finish. "Borrowed Time," is an independent film made through Pixar's Co-op program which encourages employees to undertake own projects and bring it to fruition using the animation studio's tools and facilities.
As the short film continues to receive praises from the viewers, many begin to wonder if Pixar may soon develop it into a full-length movie. Watch "Borrowed Time" teaser here:
