| Partly Cloudy | comment |
Partly Cloudy is a 2009 animated short film from Pixar, one of the Pixar Shorts. It was written and directed by Peter Sohn.A flock of delivery storks are tasked with delivering baby animals and humans to new parents, which are created by sentient cloud people living in the skies. A storm cloud named Gus is in charge of creating the dangerous baby animals, which results in repeated Amusing Injuries for his partner, a stork named Peck. As Gus' creations get more and more dangerous, Peck has to find a way to handle them without getting himself maimed or worse.Played in theaters in advance of the Pixar feature Up. | |

Feel No Pain | |
| Partly Cloudy / int_19211122 | comment |
Feel No Pain: Being made of water vapor rather than flesh, Gus can handle alligator bites and porcupine spines without them hurting him. Too bad the same isn't true for Peck. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Partly Cloudy / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Gus is saddened when Peck seemingly leaves him and is seen taking a delivery for another cloud, after being asked to deliver a baby shark. It turns out that the stork was just getting a football helmet and vest so he could protect himself while delivering Gus's babies. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Early on a cloud is seen making a football and helmet for a newborn baby. This turns out to be useful when Peck asks for armor to protect himself from Gus’s creations. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Partly Cloudy / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: After being battered and bruised from Gus's previous deliveries, Peck calms down when he sees Gus's next creation is seemingly a fluffy sheep. As he reaches out to pet it, Gus brings it to life, revealing it's actually a spiky porcupine. With Gus making dangerous animals, Peck seemingly leaves him for another cloud that makes cute and harmless animals instead when the former makes a shark, making Gus very upset. Then it's revealed Peck didn't abandon him, he just went to ask for protective gear so the creations of Gus wouldn't hurt him anymore. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Subverted. When Gus reveals his next creation is a shark, Peck seemingly panics and flees to another cloud. Gus bursts into tears, thinking he's been abandoned, but a moment later Peck returns wearing football gear, revealing he hadn't ditched his partner and was just getting some armor first. | |

Delivery Stork: In this short, babies are made by cloud people and delivered by storks to new parents. Most of the storks have it easy, receiving adorable puppies, kittens, and human babies to deliver...and then there's Peck, the stork assigned to Gus, a storm cloud in charge of creating baby alligators, electric eels, sharks, porcupines, and more. Lord help him. | |
