Think Pixar, But Japanese

This is the closest I’ve seen to a Japanese-made Pixar-style animated short. So, I’m guessing it’ll be the closest you’ve seen, too.

This is Tokyo Cosmo. It’s an independent animation made by a small Japanese team. It was entered in Digicon 6 Asia, a short movie contest.

I quite like it. Maybe you will also.
