First Look: New Pixar Toy Story Short “Partysaurus Rex” | EW

The latest Toy Story short will play before the 3D re-release of Finding Nemo (opening Sept. 14) and features the toys’ new owner, Bonnie.

“If you’re a bath toy you get really intense playtime. It’s like a party,” says director Mark Walsh, who previously worked as an animator on Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. “Then when the water goes down you can’t move. You’re helpless. And that’s pathetic, these guys in bottom of the tub all the time.”

As the only available toy with limbs, Rex puts his tiny arms to good use by turning on the water and getting the party going for those dried-out toys on his own – which leads to a sort of bubble-filled rave, complete with glow-in-the-dark toys making disco lights under an overturned colander and dance music by Grammy-nominated electronica musician BT.
