Spare a thought for your umbrella when you're battling with the breeze and rain showers today. It may be feeling a little blue.

At least that's what the good folks at Pixar would lead us to believe. They've just released a sneak peek at their latest animated short via The Wall Street Journal. The Blue Umbrella, which will debut ahead of Monsters University later this year, tells the tale of a blue umbrella and a red umbrella whose eyes meet across a crowded footpath. We're gonna hazard a guess that there's a little bit of falling in love involved.

As if we hadn't had enough with that heartbreaking Up montage over the Christmas holidays!
