I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This Pixar short is only three minutes long and won an Oscar for best short animation.It has a simple message. Do not judge a book by its cover and might had been inspired by a Dr Seuss story,Some small birds are sitting on a telephone line when a large bird wants to join them. Thye make fun of him because he does not look like them and try to force him off the line. In short treat him like an outcast.The large bird gets the last laugh as his size means their feathers are more than ruffled.

This is one of those shorts that will be remembered for a long time. It is not the special effects, it is not the outrageousness of the characters, it is not the super-duper adventure or whatever. Everything about this story is simple, from the animation to the narrative. There is humour all around us, everywhere, on a daily basis. It is a matter of paying attention to the little funny things that speak to anybody and everybody, and bring them to the screen. That is, precisely, what this short does. The humour is Universal, white and clean. This short has some of the style and feeling of Warner Bross + Hanna Barberah cartoons of the 1950s, which had a mix of innocence, naughtiness and fun. It doesn't matter that the story is simple or that not a word is uttered. Why do we need words? Birds don't speak English, you know. Yet, you will laugh.

I've seen this short several times and the first time I saw it at the cinema before 'Monsters Inc,' I found it absolutely hilarious. When my father purchased the 'Monsters Inc' DVD, I also found it funny the second time around but when I was shown this in assembly at school with my fellow pupils, nobody really laughed to my Head of Year's surprise. After having seen this for the first time in several years upon renting the first volume of Pixar shorts on a DVD, I laughed just as much as I did on my first two viewings.The small birds are adorable and the big bird is a hoot. The funniest parts were the little birds seeming to argue when they stood on the wire of the telegraph pole, the honking sounds they make whilst puffing out and the moment the wire flung them up in the air when they were trying to peck the big bird off it. It was also funny when the bids realised their feathers were missing, covered themselves as if they had privates and hid behind the big bird followed by the splat of bird poo on the ending card. The animation has impressive use of the squash and stretch principle, the birds are coloured in a lovely shade of blue and the musical score is reminiscent of those used in 'Luxo Jr' and 'Red's Dream.'Overall this is one of Pixar's funniest and most straightforward shorts. 9/10.

A number of mean spirited little birds sit on a telegraph line trying to prevent a big, clumsy, good natured bird from joining them.This is the Pixar short which accompanies Monsters Inc. Retooled, like the main feature, into 3D, this remains just as funny as it was on original release. It is difficult to believe that so much character and communication is achievable in this small blue spiteful balls of feathers, but then one remembers how human they managed to make a metal box with a pair of binoculars on top in WALL-E.The 3D, though not flashy, works well in this very funny, and highly recommended, short film.
