With its bold art direction, stylish depiction of the frozen Russian landscape, and inspired computer-animation, "Glago's Guest" is an exciting, and original short film that uses the medium to full advantage.
I won't spoil the end of the movie, but one good animation-specialied web site described "Glago's Guest" as " a poker-faced sci-fi thriller that’s completely uninterested in being cute and telegraphing gags and more interested in simply being awesome."
Now, i know you would like to see more of this new Disney short, so, here is a 42 seconds preview of "Glago's Guest"
"Glago's Guest", premiered in June at Annecy International Film Festival in France and will be released in theaters attached to Bolt this Thanksgiving.
