Even with its artistry and its family-friendly concepts, it's predominantly an experimentation in cuteness, not substance.

Piper is effective and worth seeing because of the cinematography, and on the whole it makes a decent case for the expressive potential of photorealistic animation.

Pixar has not released such a beguiling, immediately engaging little miniature in the sixteen years since For the Birds.
