The director of Pixar's latest short film "Out" holds up his phone to his laptop camera to show a "review" that was texted to him by a friend's child, written in elementary school English.
"It's good that you love other person, but it's not good that people bullies you because the person you love. You can love anyone you want," Steve Hunter reads off the phone during our Zoom interview, while wearing a thread-bare blue "My Little Pony" shirt. "That's a great review from a seven-year-old," he says.
"Then you throw in some flying cats and dogs and rainbows coming in out of nowhere," adds producer Max Sachar. "Come on, everyone's gonna love it."
Released May 22 on Disney+, "Out" features the Emeryville-based animation company's first openly gay protagonist, which follows in the hoof-steps of a lesbian centaur cop in "Onward." The 10-minute film opens with Greg's boyfriend Manuel helping him move out of his house. They're reminiscing over a framed photo when Greg's parents unexpectedly arrive at his door. Manuel sneaks out the back, and Greg spends the rest of the film struggling to tell his parents about the relationship.
And because this is Pixar after all, Greg and his dog do a "Freaky Friday"-style body swap (and "Toy Story 2" penguin Wheezy cameos as a squeaky toy).
