Pixar has made a bit of history by featuring Filipino CGI animated characters for the first time in a new film."Float" is a film about acceptance. In it, a father discovered his adorable son is unlike other kids. The film followed their trials and tribulations.Pixar writer/producer Bobby Rubio talked to us about his project."It's based on my own personal story of my son," he explained. "In the story, the father is dealing with a son that floats, which makes him different from other children.""Float" was seen as a chance to celebrate children with unique gifts.Rubio said he took a feature-based approach to make the characters Filipino American. The father has darker skin and a flatter nose."I know we don't all look alike, but at the same time, I wanted traits that I had so that it at least felt authentic," he said.The characters are animated versions of himself and his son. Rubio has long looked for ways to introduce his culture to a broader audience, and Pixar offered that opportunity."As a Filipino-American and it being Filipino History Month, I am super proud that this is coming out, and we are making history," he said.We can't tell you how the seven-minute short ends, but it is a heart-warming story.When "Float" was introduced at a special screening, the first-time director was able to gauge the crowd's response."To see the people react to certain times that you wanted them to react was amazing, and I totally loved it," Rubio recalled."Float" is one of four Pixar SparkShorts, which will be featured on the new Disney+ streaming service when it is launched on Nov. 12.
