The Making of Pixar's Short Film 'Day & Night'

Day & Night is the short film that will be shown before Toy Story 3.These characters remind me of Herb Gardner's Nebbishes. If you can find it, Gardner was also a great writer and wrote a book called, 'A Piece of the Action,' which I read last summer. Anyhow, back to the short:

Day & Night was directed by storyboard artist & character designer Teddy Newton, who you'll see in this video (and who voices the Chatter Telephone in Toy Story 3).
The official Day & Night plot synopsis: "When Day, a sunny fellow, encounters Night, a stranger of distinctly darker moods, sparks fly! Day and Night are frightened and suspicious of each other at first, and quickly get off on the wrong foot. But as they discover each other's unique qualities — and come to realize that each of them offers a different window onto the same world — the friendship helps both to gain a new perspective." (via)
