It is Disney's habit to release a new short to accompany each animated feature, and Feast accompanies Big Hero 6. It is told from the point of view of a small dog, initially a stray, who gets himself adopted on the grounds of food. For a while we are led to believe that the story is about the dog discovering the delights of many different types of food until we understand that the film is actually telling the tale of what is happening in the home.
To be frank, the final third of this short is somewhat glib and, by having a dog which is so insightful and initiative-driven yet still a plain old pet dog, Disney has gone rather further along the have-your-cake-and-eat-it path than usual.
Having said that, the film is warm and full of heart, the design is simple but effective, the lighting is exquisite, and the 3D – already good - is rendered more effective by an atmosphere dense with motes and differential focus. This is a treat to watch in 3D.
