A Pixar Idea

Someone was trying to describe stores like Marshall's and Filene's Basement the other day. And someone eventually came up with this little nugget:

"It's where clothes go to die."

Immediately, the idea for an animated movie popped into my head. You know how those Disney films like to anthropamorphize everything? Like bugs, toys, cars, fish, etc.

Well, what if you made the clothes the characters? And they're all hanging out in a discount store (or even thrift store if you want to open more possibilities) wondering when their days of not selling will come to a tragic end. That's good stuff!

Can't you totally see some glove or mitten searching for his little sister, the other glove? And there's the old sweater who is tucked so far beyond the other clothes that nobody realizes he's been there for twenty years. You can even make it a holiday flick - "Clothed for Christmas."

C'mon, it's a good idea! Pixar, are you listening?
