Pixar's new short 'Out' is a coming-out story for everyone

Pixar's new animated short "Out," released Friday, follows the journey of Greg and his curious pup, Jim, and Greg's boyfriend, Manuel, on moving day. Where one might expect the contemporary tale of "Boy meets boy," we're met with the often-ignored dilemma and subplot of "Boy tells parents about boy."

It's the studio's first project featuring a gay main character and storyline.

In the short, we first find Greg and Manuel preparing to head to the big city together to start fresh, to dream big, to escape the reach of parents and live a life together openly.

But when Greg's mom and dad show up unexpectedly to help with the move, it becomes clear that Greg's secret has created a huge void in his life: a real connection with his parents. It's time to come out to his parents, boyfriend and all. But he just can't bring himself to do it.

"What's wrong with me?" Greg asks himself. And when it comes to the question, "What's wrong with me?" the freeing yet inevitable answer is, Truly nothing at all.
