Video: The Making of Disney/Pixar’s ‘Day & Night’ with New Footage

Day & NightAs a follow up to our new Toy Story 3 clip comes this additional Comcast exclusive, the making of Day & Night, the Teddy Newton short that plays before the feature film.

In the clip, the shorts’ creators attempt to explain just what it’s all about, but as a study aide, here’s the official 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.
