Waste of time

Perfect cast and a good story

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This short was released with The Incredibles, it has nice animation and a even better message.A sheep loves jumping up and down, he is happy as Larry the Lamb. until one day he is shorn the sheep.Now naked his confidence is at an all time low, he is judged by his looks and embarrassed.A passing jackalope tells the sheep that life has its ups and down so not to let his colour keep him down. The wool grows back and the sheep keeps on bouncing.

SPOILERS I find it psychotic that I am commenting on this before I comment on the Incredibles. Why I am doing this? I do not think that I am not going to comment on the Incredibles in a long time, so why am I commenting on the short that was before the Incredibles? There is times when you are amazingly desperate, like I am right now. Well, enough about me and let us talk about Boundin'. This was a very solid and cute little children's animated short.Here is the plot of this animated short called Boundin'. It is about a lamb who constantly romps around the outside showing of himself and his wool. It is a little cute world with fish with big eyes. Then, one day, that little lamb is taken and sheared. He has no wool anymore! He becomes bitter and depressed and stops romping. Then, a Jackalope comes to talk to him. Yes, a Jackalope! Did I know what they are? No. Anyway, the Jackalope days that he does not need to look good to have spirit and prance. That brightens up the lamb. He then continues to romp despite the fact that he is ugly.Overall, this is a cute Pixar animated short that is bound to warm your hearts and put a big creepy smile on your face. Dare I say that that this is one of the very best Pixar animated shorts. The Jackalope may be kind of odd at first being that he looks like a rabbit with long moose antlers but he will eventually put hope into the lamb's heart, and you will slowly start to like him, or like him all at once. Anyway, this is a great short that if you have the Incredibles, you should check out.9/10 Recommended Films: The Incredibles, Monsters Inc.

Boundin' tells a four minute tale of a young, puffy white lamb who wanders freely, is happy and dances through life until one day, he is shorn and shattered. Left out in the rain with nothing but his pink skin he mopes around until a Jackalope (whatever that is) bounces by to convince him that everything is OK.As narrated by the director Bud Luckey in a sort of 6/8 time country and western poem, this short is light, lilting, funny as can be and packs a wonderful message. It is not so much about tolerance as it is about being proud and comfortable about who you are. It is also likely the only animated short ever to use the word Heliotrope.If you have the Incredibles DVD then you have this short. We watch it every time we run through The Incredibles. ***1/2 out of ****.

Weirdly watchable.It doesn't mean to be anything but cute. It succeeds completely. Water's lovely.And I keep listening to that peculiar little song. I think the line that gets me is "I must say they found his dancin' enhancin'." Dunno. Just like it.As for folks who are comparing it to Disney or Eisner or whoever -- there's little dribbles of Warner Brothers in here, and a splash of Anime and just a SMIDGEN of Hannah Barbara.Oh, let's just call it Animation Chow Mein and be happy with it.
