In a surprising move Pixar debuted a new short film, not in front of a feature film but on the Disney Channel on November 20th, 2009. Check out the embedded video inside.
Pixar co-founder and director John Lasseter, of Toy Story 1 & 2, A Bug’s Life and Cars, directed this latest short and it’s the fifth in a series of Cars short films. This one’s titled Unidentified Flying Mater.
What’s it about?: Mater tells the gang a tall tale about the time him and a UFO named “Mator” had a fun night out. Then the military spoils the fun and it’s up to Mator, Lightning McQueen and Mator’s mom to save the day!
