Your Friend the Rat
2006, Walt Disney/Pixar
Featuring Remy of Ratatouille, this Pixar short is actually an 11-minute educational cartoon. Done mostly in a 2D animation style reminiscent of "Fractured Fairy Tales" from Rocky and Bullwinkle, it also features a number of other animation techniques, as well as a bit of live-action, but precious little CGI. While cleverly-written and competently directed, it's nevertheless too heavy-handed with its message, and long overstays its welcome.
