I'll be the first to admit that, sometimes, Disney does cool stuff. Unfortunately, as in the case of the yet released Glago's Guest, this 'cool stuff' is usually in the form of shorts not features. Okay, so I thought that Wall-E was visually striking and a fascinating (if slightly standard) scifi parable, but there's something even more interesting about this tale of an aging Russian soldier, alone in the Siberian wasteland, coming face to face with the inexplicable. Very Quiet Earth indeed.

Glago’s Guest follows the intriguing and thought-provoking story of a lonely Russian soldier stationed in a remote Siberian outpost. When the soldier’s solitude is interrupted one day by the arrival of a strange new “guest,” Glago is jolted out of his uneventful daily routine but soon comes to realize that things aren’t always what they appear to be.

Glago's Guest was directed by relative newcomer Chris Williams who just released his feature debut, Bolt (which I can't comment on). We've got a 40 second clip from Glago and an image after the break. I'm not a huge fan of the crisp animation style in fact I sort of wish it was done in a sketchy, retro style more like the poster.
