The next short on Disney Plus was "The Blue Umbrella" a technical marvel that Pixar provided alongside "Monsters University" back in 2013.
A blue umbrella falls for a red umbrella in a rainy city. Their owners though are headed in opposite directions, the city though recognises the situation and tries it's hardest to bring the two together.
"The Blue Umbrella" is undeniably impressive to look at. The use of lighting and water effects is excellently done and the buildings and objects that facilitate this story are near photo realistic. That said, it's a little more of a tech demo than a real narrative and though it wrings as much emotion as it possible could from those objects, and their near tragic but ultimately heart-warming plot. Those visuals though are matched by really good sound design, linking the visual action to the score.
Technically marvellous, but a bit too short of story for my taste.
