First look at Pixar’s new Toy Story short, “Partysaurus Rex”

Coming bundled with Finding Nemo 3D in September is a brand new Toy Story short film called “Partysaurus Rex” in which Rex finds himself among a group of bath toys and manages to use his tiny, mostly useless arms to do what the rubber bath toys can’t— turn the water on and get the party started.

Here’s what voice actor Wallace Shawn had to say about the character,

He’s sick of being the angel of goodness and sensibleness and caution and fear. He wants to stand on the side of pleasure and happiness and joy. … I live this drama every day of my life!

Here’s a more detailed synopsis:

As the only available toy with limbs, Rex puts his tiny arms to good use by turning on the water and getting the party going for those dried-out toys on his own – which leads to a sort of bubble-filled rave, complete with glow-in-the-dark toys making disco lights under an overturned colander and dance music by Grammy-nominated electronica musician BT.

Director Mark Walsh added,

If you’re a bath toy you get really intense playtime. It’s like a party. Then when the water goes down you can’t move. You’re helpless. And that’s pathetic, these guys in bottom of the tub all the time.

What I was going for was, you move to a new town and make new friends, and suddenly you think you have this chance where you can reinvent yourself. I love that Rex, in his sweetness, thinks he can reinvent who he is in the image of a party animal.
