Currently, Pixar builds digital 3D models harnessed with virtual skeletons. On December 12, 2008, Disney-Pixar premiered its first Disney Digital 3-D(TM) short film “Tokyo Mater” about the adventures of Mater the tow truck in Tokyo–directed by John Lasseter and Rob Gibbs.

Since your characters are not humans, the car parts (windshields, headlights, tir
