Uh, don’t get your hopes up.
Will you happen to be at Disney’s “Bolt” this weekend with your kid, your little sister or as part of your court-ordered Big Brother community service? If so, while you’re rocking out to Motorhead during the film, get their early for “Glago’s Guest” an animated Disney short directed by Chris Williams (co-director of “Bolt,” he wrote the story of “Mulan” too) there was another reason to be there. This animated-in-3D short will precede “Bolt” and tells the story of a strange meeting between a Russia soldier guarding a Siberian outpost and an extraterrestrial.
Why? Well, for us, one reason. “Glago’s Guest” was scored by composer/producer / multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion who’s been busy this year haven written movie scores to Charlie Kaufman’s “Synecdoche, New York,” and Will Ferrell’s “Step Brothers” (and having already famously composed the music to “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,” “Magnolia” and Punch Drunk Love” – a hipster trifecta!) .
We have no clue what Brion’s music in ‘Guest’ sounds like and this clip from the short (same one embedded below) doesn’t help, but if you’re being dragged to “Bolt” you might as well get something out of it. Oh, wait, as we were finishing this post, we found out ‘Glago’ got pulled from “Bolt” just a few weeks ago with no explanation. Well, ummm, we’ve written this post, hmm, yeah. Nothing to see here, please disperse…
