I might try to describe the substance of this film, but frankly it defies description. You simply have to see the short to understand what it the story is.
This short was shown before Disney's recent release of "Toy Story 3". While my daughter loved this short, I only mildly enjoyed it. Now there were some things to admire about this film. First, it was unique and highly creative. I can say that despite my having seen a ton of shorts over the years, this one is nothing like any of them! In addition, the animation, not surprisingly, was top-notch--something we have all come to expect from Pixar. And, finally, the short did a great job of telling a story with absolutely no dialog..none. But, on the other hand, the film seldom made me laugh and it was pretty insignificant in many ways. I would consider this about average for a Pixar short but certainly not in the same league as their best shorts--such as "Jack-Jack Attack", "Lifted" or "Knick-Knack" (one of their earliest and still my favorite).
