Variety

In an unusually adult-leaning year, the traditionally kid-friendly category is well worth watching in its entirety...

New York Times

Anxiety-inducing films about heartbreak, resentment, torture and despair.

Rated: B

Austin Chronicle

No American short made the list at all. Does that mean anything? Arguably not, beyond an opportunity for audiences to be exposed to stories with international resonances...

Cinema Sight

[on Bestia] It’s a pointed rebuke of the extreme fascistic tactics employed at the time and forces audiences to realize that such situations were not isolated to dictators with whom they are familiar.

Rated: 3.5/4

Arturo

Although it is not necessary for animated films to appeal to children, or children of all ages, four of five were not enjoyable for children or the four adults in my group. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox...." was OK for children and pretty but the dialogue was a string of saccharine platitudes and cliches. The others were bizarre bits of supposed creative genius.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Disappointed

These were too sexual. I knew going in that they were not for kids but there is graphic sexual acts, bestiality and full frontal nudity.

Of the five shorts, three were good, one was OK, and one ("Bestia") was confusing and disturbing. We were told it was based on recent Chilean history.

The animation was great in all of the shorts! My favorite one was "The Windshield Wiper."

It was totally inappropriate for children. It has raw language, nudity, violence, sex, and bestiality. Families with children should be denied entrance. That actually was the policy in more than one theater. Unfortunately, that was not the case in the theater in my grandkids' town. At the very least, there should have been a warning before the show started, rather than over half way through it. If three adults come with one child, and the four are suddenly told it is inappropriate for the child after that point, they are forced to make a decision about what they should do. This should NEVER have happened, and must NEVER happen again.
