High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Your Friend the Rat is Pixar`s first short film to feature traditional animation. At 11 minutes, it is also the longest Pixar short to date. Along with 2D animation, the short also includes stop-motion animation, computer generated imagery (CGI) and live action, much like the children`s television show, A Little Curious. Like the feature length film on which it is based, Your Friend the Rat also features a musical sequence.
