Jacob B Only took somebody a couple of years to update Pixar's Wikipedia navbox to include a few adjacent short films (due to them allowing staff members to utilise company resources to tell their own short stories) for me to learn about this underrated Oscar nominee's existence. Good thing it can still be found on Facebook because I do recommend this short to anybody who grew up with divorced parents. The storytelling is compelling despite the lack of dialogue, the short does a good job depicting what certain events must be like from a child's perspective, it deals with some topics that, while implied, I doubt Pixar would release under their name such as the implication that the mother's new boyfriend is a jerk, to put it mildly and the animation is charming. Do I feel bad this short lost the Oscar to the actual Pixar short? Not really, I still think Bao was incredibly poignant. But I do think this is a hopeful, thought-provoking short that's still really good in its own right.

There is poetry to the art style and use of sound. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
