Nintendo has published a new animated short film on its Nintendo Today and YouTube Channel application, so far completely devoid of context.
Called close to you, Pixar’s film shows a baby who follows his toys in the room, apparently moved by invisible creatures, all accompanied by a playful play of playful piano.
The film was published only with the name and no description, it is therefore not initially clear which project (if applicable), it could relate, to be a game or a film.
Although the company does not indicate which production studio created the film, some speculated that it was the work of Nintendo Pictures – its animation studio based in Tokyo which was launched in 2022, formerly known as Dynamo Pictures.
In addition, music refers to the main melody of the Pikmin theme at the beginning, while the emphasis placed on transported articles certainly alludes to small plant creatures. And if you check under the bed at 1’41, a small red creature can be seen rushing.
Could this refer to a Switch 2 version of Pikmin 4? This game includes thematic levels in a child’s room. But why go to the trouble of a new animated short film?
At the very least, it is a beautifully animated and extremely cute film.
What do you think Nintendo alludes?
