as a story artist since 2012, contributing to “Inside Out,” “Incredibles 2” and “Brave.” But “Float” broke new ground as the first Pixar work to feature a Filipino American animated character.
“Float” was inspired by Rubio’s own son, who was diagnosed with autism. When Rubio learned about his son’s diagnosis, he didn’t handle the news well. Fast forward to two years ago: Rubio’s son Alex was getting older and the urgency to tell the story grew. “I was looking at my son, and I thought, ‘I have to tell this story.’ I couldn’t let it go, so I started storyboarding it.”Rubio went on to pitch the story to Lindsay Collins, executive producer of the SparkShorts program, who thought the story was ideal.
Producer Krissy Cababa says that when she came on, the idea had been storyboarded, but the power of the story was most important to her. “It was a powerful story about being a parent and the struggles you go through as a parent with your kids. I felt it was an important story about acceptance and being able to love and celebrate the people in our lives.” She added, “It was about celebrating people for who they are and not who you want them to be.
