MisterWhiplash Your dog will always want to eat what you're eating - well, most usually, anyway, especially if it's not *good* for the dog particularly. Thank goodness, of course, this short from Disney (which won, deservedly I might hope, the Oscar for best animated short), doesn't show the aftermath of eating such things for a dog. But it's not really about that per-say, though of course if you have a dog you'll recognize it immediately as being accurate. What it's about is how a dog relates to its master, and what the filmmakers get so brilliantly in six minutes is how a dog can learn if it's put into the position to observe and react and feel its master's behavior.So at the start of this, for the first minute or so, we're just seeing how the dog loves to eat - the junkier, the better, and god help him (or her?) when it comes time to the super-bowl - but then after this, we know just from the food that things have changed. The man is eating healthier because of the girl, so the dog gets less portions and more things like, uh, soy crisps or whatever. But then the girlfriend leaves this man, and he goes into over-eating depression mode. The dog is just happy to eat... until it sinks in the master is definitely *not* happy. This must be rectified. So off to find the ex-girlfriend...Of course things are simplified into a quickness, but it's the sort of wonderful, compact, to-the-point and yet with a lot of depth and heart quickness that one has seen in other things produced by John Lassiter (though not to the same depth, I was reminded of the break-neck pace of life as the opening of Up had, how quickly life can move). And of course the dog itself is probably TOO cute, and I don't mean to say that as if to pinch the dog's cheeks, it's like they make the dog programmed to be that way... as if from a computer! At any rate, Feast is all about the love of food, but the love for humans that trumps it. It actually takes time to make the background as important as the foreground. Emotional effects/affects are really what's at stake here, not so much what the dog gets into its belly, which is what makes it so great for kids and adults - maybe adults more-so - as it plays to just making that right connection as an adult or as a kid.
ysndganesh Feast is about a cute little puppy Winston and his love to his owner and the food they share. Cute and adorable, this is one of Disney's finest shorts. This short looks so cool and so much better than most of the recent animated features. I mean, I have seen Big Hero 6 and didn't really like it, it was too clichéd and the writing was terrible. But Feast with it's cool idea developed into a finely written plot looks way superior and awesome. People who love their pets enjoy this even more and could relate so much. Needless to say, Winston looks adorable, he is even more faithful. Winston loves his food and his owner and gets him out of sadness which reminds how much a dog would love a man! This short could make all those people who don't have pets feel that they should have one, at least it made me feel that way. The animation used in this short is so pleasant and gives an amazing viewing experience. It's not that 3D animation stuff we see in other animated movies. I want to see feature films with this kind of animation. An adorable short on the whole, deserves it's Oscar.
Matthew Luke Brady A man's best friend to the very end.The story is about a man's love life is seen through the eyes of his best friend and dog, Winston, and revealed bite by bite through the meals they share.Feast is a 6 minute short film that by now judging on the date of this review, this short film has been nominated for Best Short Film at the Oscars and who knows... it might win. Okay so this a short film and that means this review might not be has long as my other reviews, so basically it's a short little review on this cheerful short film, well it might be a long review.I got to say that the first ever scene in this short film with the little dog barking and being a happy puppy was the cutest and the most adorable thing I've seen since the beginning of the 2008 film Bolt. Have you ever got that feeling inside of you that it's so cute that you can't take to much cuteness, yeah that's this.What Feast got so beautifully well is showing a cute little dog who loves junk food and in the background there's another story happening with two lovers and they relationship, but has the short goes along it quickly turns surprisingly depressing. Feast is only 6 minutes long and it brilliantly give you all the cuteness, cheerfulness, depression and back to happy again and Feast gives you all that in a matter of 6 minutes, it's a bit like Up with the opening scene where you already know everything about them and it's only last for a couple of minutes, I mean that right there is masterpiece of directing and writing.The animation is so colorful and so beautifully bright that the animation is the icing on the cake for this touching and a well made short film.
Sophie Phillips That cut really deep, really fast. I didn't expect the sympathy that poured out of me for Winston when he yearned for junk food. And then, I found myself quite sad when he did finally get what he wanted, but at the expense of his owner's displeasure. But when when he sprinted through the kitchen with the bit of garnish to find the server, and resisted eating the steak, that was adorable. Overall, that short film was quite touching and it reminded me of my cat and I, before he passed away. It's wonderful having a companion with you; knowing you'll always have a little friend who will love you unconditionally through thick and thin.
