"Day and Night": Pixar's Mesmerizing Blend of 2D and 3D Animation Shaina Tranquilino December 29, 2023 Pixar's "Day and Night" is a unique and captivating short film that effortlessly blends traditional 2D animation with innovative 3D animation techniques. Released in 2010, this six-minute masterpiece takes the audience on a mesmerizing journey through contrasting perspectives of day and night. Directed by Teddy Newton, known for his work as a storyboard artist on several Pixar films, "Day and Night" tells the story of two characters named Day and Night who meet unexpectedly while going about their daily routines. However, what sets this film apart from others is that these characters are not animated in the usual way. Instead, they are portrayed as transparent figures filled with vibrant landscapes representing either day or night. The central theme of the film revolves around the juxtaposition between opposites: light and dark, warmth and coldness, noise and silence. The contrast is visually striking as viewers witness daylight scenes projected onto the character Day's figure while nighttime scenes are cast upon Night's silhouette. This clever design creates an immersive experience, allowing us to observe the world through each character's perspective simultaneously. As Day and Night encounter various situations throughout the film, they begin to realize that their differences can coexist harmoniously. They learn to appreciate one another's unique qualities rather than fearing or resenting them. Through this message of acceptance and understanding, Pixar manages to convey a profound lesson about embracing diversity. What truly makes "Day and Night" exceptional is its ability to tell a story without using any dialogue. The narrative unfolds solely through visual storytelling accompanied by an enchanting musical score composed by Michael Giacchino. From breathtaking sunrise sequences to dazzling fireworks displays at night, every frame is meticulously crafted to evoke emotions within the audience. Moreover, "Day and Night" showcases Pixar's technical brilliance by seamlessly blending hand-drawn animations with computer-generated imagery (CGI). This combination breathes life into the characters while maintaining a distinct artistic style reminiscent of classic hand-drawn animation. The result is a visually stunning film that pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved in animated storytelling. With its innovative approach, "Day and Night" earned critical acclaim and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. It stands as a testament to Pixar's commitment to pushing creative boundaries while delivering heartfelt stories that resonate with audiences of all ages. Pixar's "Day and Night" is a remarkable short film that captivates viewers through its blend of traditional and 3D animation techniques. Through stunning visuals, absence of dialogue, and a powerful message of acceptance, it takes us on a journey where opposites collide and coexist harmoniously. This six-minute masterpiece demonstrates Pixar's ability to push artistic boundaries while delivering emotionally resonant narratives.

Yeah, I guess I do. But like, what even is a star beam, you know? Now, a lead pipe to the shins? That's just reliable, baby.

I based this on a comic I saw on tumblr and obviously on the characters and setting of the "Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl" pilot animatic by Kiana Khansmith.

(For some reason YouTube links don’t get traction on tumblr, so let’s see if this works!)

An illustration I painted and turned into an animated gif. This was very tedious but I like how it turned out.

A funny thing about magical girl media is that folks who are broadly aware of the genre but don't take it in tend to assume Pretty Cure is the most G-rated of the lot, based on the fact that it's got brighter colours, frillier costumes, and generally younger-looking protagonists than average – then you actually watch the fight scenes and those squeaky middle schoolers are doing Bruce Lee shit to the monsters.

Crazy how the person you've been following for Team Rocket memes suddenly reached for the stars. But to celebrate another artist's success, I present to you another AU! Because we need more of those in this new fandom and I like the cliché trope of a traitor love interest. XD Though I admit this small doodle idea got way out of hand. Still, do you see the vision???
