Feast (2014)

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Masterpiece!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Disney knows how to entertain its public and this can be seen in this short movie. We are told the story of a man and his puppy who live together in peace and harmony. Until an unforeseen event occurs, the puppy becomes a little bit upset, but discovers soon how to handle the situation and restore the atmosphere that was once in the house. Oh, I love happy endings.

Compared to some of the other more dramatically searching and artistically adventurous animated shorts this year, it was a surprise that this well made but conventional short from Disney was the Oscar winner. Especially since its premise seems to owe a lot to the much more interesting "Adam and Dog" which was nominated in 2011. The story of Adam and Eve as perceived around the edges of Adam's relationship with his dog seemed deeper and more involving than this much more superficial picture of a guy and his girlfriend as perceived by the man's cute dog, eagerly awaiting every meal. Still, Feast is very well made and charming.

Disney has again mastered another short!First with Paperman and now Feast. I cant wait to see what is next. The short is simple but filled with heart. I am not going to discuss the plot because other reviewers already did, but if you have the chance to see thisSEE IT!Over all I give it a 10 and its a must see. It also gets you ready for the main future (Big Hero 6) which was great and innovating as wellwell deserved Oscar win!5/5 starts

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.
