Your Friend the Rat is Pixar's first short film to feature traditional animation. At 11 minutes, it is also the longest Pixar short to date. Along with hand drawn animation, the short also includes stop-motion animation, computer generated imagery and live action; much like A Little Curious.[1][2] Unlike the feature length film on which it is based, "Your Friend the Rat" also features a musical sequence.
The film was released on DVD and Blu-Ray with Pixar's Ratatouille (November 6, 2007).[3][4]
Your Friend the Rat was nominated in the Best Animated Short Subject category at the 35th annual Annie Awards.[5]
Plot
The short takes on the form of an educational film, and stars Remy and Emile, who argue for the reconciliation of humans and rats. It uses historical mentions presented to various styles of animation, as well as nonsense comedy. At the film's end, a long and drawn-out (and mostly satirical) warning is shown asking children to stay away from rats, while Remy and Emile stand in front of it and try to remove it, urging the audience to ignore the warning and complaining about freedom of speech and lack of food respectively.
