For their latest, Pixar delivers a story about a young boy who has to be abducted by aliens to learn about friendship and family.

And for added backup, Bucky enlisted the help of the less-hairy Wolverine and his old war buddy Namor. For a guy who says he hates teams, Bucky sure knows how to assemble deadly ones.
