Feast (I) (2014)
9/10
Beautiful- deserved its Academy Award win
21 March 2015
Not only that, but I actually preferred it to the film it accompanied Big Hero 6, though that was still a very good film and one of Disney's better films since the Renaissance. As a big fan of Disney, other than ending ever so slightly predictably Feast was an absolute treat, dealing with its mature subject simply and maturely.

It's beautifully animated for a start, style-wise it's clever with its mix of hand-drawn and computer animation, it's beautifully drawn and modelled and the colours are vibrant and vivid. The music has energy and sweet charm, which is fitting with the tone of the story. It's simply but charmingly written with plenty of amusement and heart, likable in characterisation with sweet characters, without being mawkish, and voiced with enthusiasm but the star here is the story. The story is short and simple, but told in a cute, touching and heart-warming way with some nice humour thrown into the mix, was impressed with how much it packed in in a short running time and as said already how it dealt its subject matter with such mature simplicity and not at all shallowly or overdone in sentimentality.

All in all, I found Feast to be a beautiful short and it deserved its Academy Award/Oscar win. 9/10 Bethany Cox
