Disney+ Hotstar has announced the upcoming lineup of Pixar Animation Studios’ SparkShorts program will be streaming in September for Malaysians to enjoy. It will be featuring two new shorts, “Twenty Something” from director Aphton Corbin, and “Nona” from director Louis Gonzales along with “A SparkStory”—a co-production of Pixar and Supper Club that takes an intimate look at Pixar’s SparkShorts filmmaking process.
SparkShorts filmmakers are given six months to assemble a team and create a short animated film. No major rules apply—filmmakers are driven by their need to tell a story and the nimble approach to do so. Each, teamed with a producer, navigates the emotional rollercoaster of stepping into a leadership role and inspiring their crew. “I’m proud to see how the short was made better by the team working on it,” says Gonzales. “I’ve never directed before but I feel like my 20+ years in the business really paid off.”
Pixar Animation Studios new SparkShort “Twenty Something” explores Gia’s heartfelt belief: Adulting can be hard. Some days you’re nailing it, while other days, you’re just a stack of kids hiding in a trench coat hoping no one notices. Gia finds herself in this exact scenario the night of her 21st birthday. Director Aphton Corbin, who considers herself a collection of children trying to pass as an adult, says Gia is a reflection of her own anxieties. Produced by Erik Langley and created using hand-drawn animation, Pixar Animation Studios’ “Twenty Something” launches on Disney+ on Sept. 10, 2021. © 2021 Disney/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
