Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

That was incredibly disturbing short to have before the Incredibles 2. My kids sat slack jawed in horror.

I find this sentimental overall in a good way. Although it is a simple story, they have a unique way to show a severe state of missing someone's presence. Of all forms of delusions, it is shown through food. Yes, food as a substitute for the humanity of somebody who is not there. As one way to put it, when we are hungry, we tend to imagine things. The mood is rather melancholy overall, but I can't help getting amused with the creativity and oddity of the story-telling. As I see it, the idea is very Pixar; but I believe something special is missing, when comparing this to the best of Pixar shorts. It lacks that sophisticated wit and kick-ass cleverness that usually arise from simple situations depicted in a Pixar animation. Nonetheless, this is solid enough for a story that showcases family values.
