Pixar’s Rodrigo Blaas Will Creep You Out with Alma
Rodrigo Blaas is the definition of a family friendly animator, having worked on a host of Pixar projects from Wall-E to Up to Ratatouille to The Incredibles. But all that sweetness and light must get to you over time, and as such he decided to make a film of his own, going much, much darker than traditional Pixar fiction.
It’s called Alma, and it’s a five minute short that you can see above. A young boy discovers a mysterious store that serves as a bit of a Venus flytrap to unsuspecting children. It’s decidedly unnerving, and I’d love to see a whole film based around it.
Blaas is currently working on another new project, La Luna, but I don’t think it’s going to be quite as dark as this was.

Clearly Pixar wants your childrens’ souls and Blaas is warning us. Why else would he use that lame (and in this case inappropriate) Pixar music in a horror story?

As many times as I’ve seen this, I thought Alma was a girl.
