Beautifully Dark Animated Western Short BORROWED TIME Created by Pixar Animators

View fullsize

In their spare time, Pixar animators Andrew Coats and Lou Hamou-Lhadj created this incredible, must watch animated short called "Borrowed Time." It's a western that tells a beautiful and dark story of forgiveness. It follows a weathered Sheriff who "returns to the remains of an accident he has spent a lifetime trying to forget. With each step forward, the memories come flooding back. Faced with his mistake once again, he must find the strength to carry on." This is an emotional and powerful short that really punches you in the gut, and it's a film that you have to see! Below the short, I included a featurette for that explains why the two animators made the film. This is easily one of the best shorts I've seen in 2016.
