Partly Cloudy – Shot from Pixar’s new short film

Ain’t It Cool News has the first official photo from the short.

Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the babies from? The answer lies up in the stratosphere, where cloud people sculpt babies from clouds and bring them to life. Partly Cloudy is about Gus, a lonely and insecure grey cloud, who is a master at creating “dangerous” babies like crocodiles, porcupines, and rams.

As Gus’s creations become more and more rambunctious, his loyal delivery stork partner, Peck, must work harder and harder. How will Peck manage to handle both his hazardous cargo and his friend’s fiery temperament?

Partly Cloudy will shown in front of Up in theaters on May 29th
