''Partly Cloudy'' is a 2009 animated short film from {{Creator/Pixar}}, one of the WesternAnimation/PixarShorts. 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 AmusingInjuries 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 ''{{WesternAnimation/Up}}.''

!!''Partly Cloudy'' is associated with:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Visually implied. Gus, the only cloud that makes dangerous baby animals instead of cute ones, is shown floating far beneath the other clouds, all by himself, and his OnlyFriend is Peck, his delivery stork.
* AllThereInTheManual: The storm cloud is named Gus, and his stork friend is named Peck.
* AmusingInjuries: Poor Peck suffers various injuries from the dangerous baby animals it must deliver, getting headbutted by a goat, bitten by an alligator, shocked by an electric eel, and spiked by a porcupine.
* ButtMonkey: Peck, the stork tasked with delivering [[KillerRabbit the babies created by Gus]].
* CuteKitten: A few of them show up near the beginning, being delivered by the storks to new parents.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Gus, a dark storm cloud, despite only making dangerous baby creatures such as alligators, wild sheep, porcupines, knifefish, etc. is merely trying to do his best and is eager for companionship.
* DeliveryStork: 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. [[HilarityEnsues Lord help him.]]
* LightningCanDoAnything: The clouds creating life (and inanimate objects as well) by shaping fluffy bits of cloud and zapping them with lightning.
* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Like almost every other Pixar short.
* MoodWhiplash: While watching the short, you go from laughing at the stork's amusing injuries to sniffling when Gus thought his friend had abandoned him.
* PoorCommunicationKills: 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.
* PsychoElectricEel: One of the animals Peck has to deliver is a baby knifefish, which immediately gives him a bad shock.
* PunnyName: Subtly, but the grey cloud's name is "Gus" (as in a gust of wind).
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: All of the baby animals, even the [[KillerRabbit dangerous ones.]]
