Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe star in The Nice Guys animated short

Ryan Gosling is charming in any form — including animation, as a just-released cartoon short reveals.

The ’70s-style animated short features Gosling and Russell Crowe as their characters from The Nice Guys, a comedy following the two leads as they investigate a suspicious crime. In the short, the narrator describes Crowe’s Jackson Healy as a one-man wrecking machine with a heart of gold and Gosling’s Holland March as a father to one and friend to none with blood as boozy as a railroad hobo. Between Healy’s constant fighting and March’s constant drinking, these descriptions seem apt.

Watch the clip above, and see The Nice Guys — written and directed by Shane Black — when it arrives in theaters Friday.
