As if venturing into the world of video games wasn't enough reason to get excited for Wreck-It-Ralph, we recently learned that Disney would be preceding the film with their groundbreaking short, Paperman. A blend of traditional hand drawn and CGI animation, it's an offbeat love story about a lonely man in mid-century New York, who briefly meets the woman of his dreams on the train. Thinking he'll never see her again, he catches a glimpse of her in the building across the street from his work. Using paper airplanes and a healthy dose of imagination, he attempts to get her attention, only to discover that fate has something greater in store.

Kahrs: “What you’re seeing is a very stylized CG layer [underneath], but the feel of the image is very flat and lives in between the two."

We could be looking at the next step for Disney, Pixar, and every other studio if Paperman turns out to be the success many expect it will be. We'll get our chance to judge for ourselves when Wreck-It-Ralph opens on November 2nd.
