Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

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.

This short animated film tells the story of two spirits, day and night, discovering each other and them try to outdo each other. They soon realise that they both have their strengths and weaknesses. They learn to respect each other's differences and value each other's strengths.It is a really sweet story. It shows people how to value and respect one another. The final scene shows how everyone is the same deep inside. I can't quite believe that the animation packs so many universal and fundamental truths in just five minutes. It is a beautiful film.

This short was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead: This is a very simple but effective short, based on the premise that two different entities showcase whatever point they occupy during the day or at night and whatever is happening on the spot at a particular point in time is visible within their frame.One of the more interesting and entertaining aspects of this short for me is that what the viewer sees within the characters frequently corresponds with what that character or those characters are doing. It's done quite effectively.The two, "Day" and "Night" begin by being surprised, disturbed, distrustful and angry at the differences, escalating towards conflict between them until they accidentally find a way to mutually benefit through cooperation, thus opening up whole new vistas and opportunities only available to them if they work together.In case the visuals you see don't make that point, there's some radio chatter toward the end of the short which makes the point directly and explicitly. It's a lecture, but it's an entertaining lecture.This short is available on DVD as an extra on Toy Story 3 and on the Pixar Shorts Collection 2 and is well worth watching. Most recommended.

I think that it is a pleasant film.In this film, there are two characters. One is "the day". The other is "the night". It is an interesting idea.The character's motion is very funny.I liked the cute characters.The speed of the story is fast. I liked this point, too.I was absorbed in the development of the film. I could watch this film being excited very much.At the last scene, two characters become friends.I could have a happy feeling after watching the last scene.

There are two men, one's body is day and another 's body is night. First, Day finds Night. He is night, so he sleeps very well. Day prevents Night from sleeping. Night gets angry for Day, so they fight with. However, Night found that each other's body shows different scene. Therefore, they enjoy watching various scenes, for example building's illumination, watching movie, which is road show, flying show, fire works and woman bathing swimsuit. At last, the next day comes.I think that two men were very cute. First, they fought with, but they found good point of each other and enjoyed watching scenes as if they are children. They embraced each other halfway, because they wanted to watch rising sun. This scene made me happy and I smiled. I think that director's idea, which movie's scene is black to show pictures by using two men is rare. This movie has much humor and child's mind.
