It may look like a Pixar film and sound like a Pixar film, but animated short “Borrowed Time” is far different than any family-friendly fare the computer-animated film division of Disney might produce. The reason for all the similarities comes in the short film’s creators, Lou Hamou-Lhadj and Andrew Coats, both of whom work as animators at Pixar. The pair produced the short, an exploration of guilt and grief, as a side project. That material is dark and touches on topics that traditional animation has little room for, including survivor’s guilt, depression and bald-faced grief.
