Benutzerrezensionen

Feast was shown in theaters before Disney's Big Hero 6, and serves as a nice vehicle for the fun-loving mayhem that takes place in that particular film. This short is a heartwarmer from start to finish, concerning an owner and his dog who bound over the foods they eat and the company they share while eating. This kind of connection to anyone who owns a pet is a familiar one, and it's a beautiful representation of a man/dog relationship. As expected, Disney hits the appropriate notes here, playing to ones emotions, childlike sense of whimsy, and cuteness factor in having a fun-loving dog chow down on whatever is placed in front of him. Despite all these clear and evident tactics, the short amazingly works and serves as the Best Animated Short winner for good, albeit simplistic, reasons.

Directed by: Patrick Osborne and Kristina Reed.

A man's best friend to the very end.

The story is about a man's love life is seen through the eyes of his best friend and dog, Winston, and revealed bite by bite through the meals they share.

Feast is a 6 minute short film that by now judging on the date of this review, this short film has been nominated for Best Short Film at the Oscars and who knows... it might win. Okay so this a short film and that means this review might not be has long as my other reviews, so basically it's a short little review on this cheerful short film, well it might be a long review.

I got to say that the first ever scene in this short film with the little dog barking and being a happy puppy was the cutest and the most adorable thing I've seen since the beginning of the 2008 film Bolt. Have you ever got that feeling inside of you that it's so cute that you can't take to much cuteness, yeah that's this.

What Feast got so beautifully well is showing a cute little dog who loves junk food and in the background there's another story happening with two lovers and they relationship, but has the short goes along it quickly turns surprisingly depressing. Feast is only 6 minutes long and it brilliantly give you all the cuteness, cheerfulness, depression and back to happy again and Feast gives you all that in a matter of 6 minutes, it's a bit like Up with the opening scene where you already know everything about them and it's only last for a couple of minutes, I mean that right there is masterpiece of directing and writing.

The animation is so colorful and so beautifully bright that the animation is the icing on the cake for this touching and a well made short film.

This short film tells the journey of a man's romantic relationship through the eyes of a dog.

Despite it being only six minutes long, "Feast" is remarkably informative. It tells how a man finds love, loses love and finds love again, all in the space of six minutes, with little dialog to convey the messages. The story unfolds by the type of food the dog eats, which is interesting angle and yet it is very convincing. The animated story is very sweet. It manages to touch your heart and fills you with love and warmth, which is pretty amazing for a film that is so short. I really enjoyed it.

'FEAST': Four Stars (Out of Five)

A 6 minute Disney animated short film; which played in theaters (including 3D ones) before the feature length Disney animated hit 'BIG HERO 6' (it's also been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, at the upcoming 87th Academy Awards). It's both hand-drawn and computer animated and tells the story a dog, that loves to eat, who's spoiled by his owner, with all kinds of human junk food. The dog's owner falls for a waitress, that works at a restaurant nearby, and we witness their relationship through the eyes of the dog. The dog's diet also changes, for the bad in his mind, because the waitress is a vegan. It was directed and co- written (with Nicole Mitchell and Raymond S. Persi) by animator, turned first time filmmaker, Patrick Osborne. The visuals are beautiful to watch (of course) and it's nice to see a love story, about humans, told through the eyes of a dog. I'm an animal lover and too often we see films told through the eyes of humans, and can only guess what any animals (in the film) might be feeling or thinking. This short is brilliantly told from the opposite perspective. Given the cool subject matter it could have been a tad more touching and emotional though.

This is about an animal eating frenzy. The master is a man who simply indulges the pup until he has created a bit of a monster. It does shows the ages of mankind, things like courtship, marriage, and childbirth. Through the whole thing the dog seems only interested in food, food, food. It is well done, but has a kind of vacuous theme.

Your dog will always want to eat what you're eating - well, most usually, anyway, especially if it's not *good* for the dog particularly. Thank goodness, of course, this short from Disney (which won, deservedly I might hope, the Oscar for best animated short), doesn't show the aftermath of eating such things for a dog. But it's not really about that per-say, though of course if you have a dog you'll recognize it immediately as being accurate. What it's about is how a dog relates to its master, and what the filmmakers get so brilliantly in six minutes is how a dog can learn if it's put into the position to observe and react and feel its master's behavior.

So at the start of this, for the first minute or so, we're just seeing how the dog loves to eat - the junkier, the better, and god help him (or her?) when it comes time to the super-bowl - but then after this, we know just from the food that things have changed. The man is eating healthier because of the girl, so the dog gets less portions and more things like, uh, soy crisps or whatever. But then the girlfriend leaves this man, and he goes into over-eating depression mode. The dog is just happy to eat... until it sinks in the master is definitely *not* happy. This must be rectified. So off to find the ex-girlfriend...

Of course things are simplified into a quickness, but it's the sort of wonderful, compact, to-the-point and yet with a lot of depth and heart quickness that one has seen in other things produced by John Lassiter (though not to the same depth, I was reminded of the break-neck pace of life as the opening of Up had, how quickly life can move). And of course the dog itself is probably TOO cute, and I don't mean to say that as if to pinch the dog's cheeks, it's like they make the dog programmed to be that way... as if from a computer! At any rate, Feast is all about the love of food, but the love for humans that trumps it. It actually takes time to make the background as important as the foreground. Emotional effects/affects are really what's at stake here, not so much what the dog gets into its belly, which is what makes it so great for kids and adults - maybe adults more-so - as it plays to just making that right connection as an adult or as a kid.

Compared to some of the other more dramatically searching and artistically adventurous animated shorts this year, it was a surprise that this well made but conventional short from Disney was the Oscar winner. Especially since its premise seems to owe a lot to the much more interesting "Adam and Dog" which was nominated in 2011. The story of Adam and Eve as perceived around the edges of Adam's relationship with his dog seemed deeper and more involving than this much more superficial picture of a guy and his girlfriend as perceived by the man's cute dog, eagerly awaiting every meal. Still, Feast is very well made and charming.

First off - I love this short film. It's adorable and fun and entertaining!

One thing though, I feel like the Three Trial structure was a little rushed. There have been three-minute short films that execute them better than this one did.

Nonetheless, it's still one of the best short films I've ever seen.

A beautiful animated short with a touching story about a dog and his owner, a single young man who eats a lot of junk food. The owner shares his eating habits with his dog, much to the pooch's delight as he loves the human food more than the dog food he's given. Eventually the man meets a woman and his eating habits change, which means the dog no longer gets the tasty food he was getting. I won't spoil what happens next but the story takes a heartwarming turn that is sure to put a big goofy smile on your face. It's a great short with lovely, colorful animation and charming music. It's a very simple story but well told with humor and heart. It definitely deserved its Oscar win.

When I was waiting for Big Hero 6, this short movie was first shown before Big Hero 6 starts.

Feast made me cry, and made me love my Dogs even more! Feast was short BUT it has a so Deep Message!

Because I have 2 Dogs (Family) and it saddens me leaving them because I have to go to another country and will be staying there forever.

I was thinking if I'll plan to return to visit back our house, it would probably take 10-20 years before I visit, I was thinking, will I ever still see my dogs again? Will I be able to still hug, kiss, and feel their presence ever again? There's a chance I would return for visit, but it would take longer, but I'm so worried because of the span of time and their span of life.

I had my dogs almost for 2 years, and for me, it wasn't enough to show HOW I Love Them! now that I'm leaving.

I'm a little bit comfortable of their safety, since my Dad will be left to take good care of them.

But I really wish, once I return, I could still see them, feel their love, feel their presence, kiss & hug them, and see more of them ^_^

Thats why when I saw this short movie, it made me cry a little (I'm a man)

Also its a Great short Movie!

I Love you Tobi & Bb!(my 2 dogs/family)

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

Watched this animated short before Big Hero 6 with my movie theatre-working friend. This was quite a treat seeing-mostly from the dog's point of view-his eating various foods that aren't considered nutritious or the regular dog food. Enjoying those while his master goes through some joys and woes of getting in and out of relationships as well as possibly being unemployed for a while as evidenced by some times the pet is not tended to. The sequences seem mostly in dolly mode with few cuts when segueing from one food stuff to another. The drawing style seems unique to this short though maybe that has to do with the paint style, I don't know. Anyway, Feast was quite a treat-so to speak-of an animated short from Walt Disney Studios.

When Feast (2014) wins Oscar in the 'Best Animated Short Film' category,i was pretty much excited to watch this.And this film is really worth it.Story is based on winston,cute little bulldog who was adopted by a man from street.This film showed us a dog's love towards his master and also how much it loves its food but love for its master comes in the first place.And we also see a man's love life through the whole film and how much it changes his lifestyle.The sacrifice winston made to fix his master's love life reminds us again that dog is man's best friend.Disney's short films are always amazing and Feast was additionally heart touching.

This is a great example of a story not told with words. There are words there, you can here characters speak in the background, but it is not important to the story. The words are for the feeling, a part of the environment that the story takes place in.

It is about a period of a dog's life, and is mostly shown through meals, hence the title. It's an interesting concept, and leads to a fun, light hearted short that tells a cute story about life.

I also liked how this short showed the passing of time. Piecing together what I assume to be high and low points in this period of the dogs life, you get a general sense of how things are going for both the dog and the owner. (But I do hope that in between some of these moments, the dog was fed properly!) The "cel-shaded" look made it seem a bit dated at first, but because of the pretty palette and all of the stuff that is happening, one quickly gets used to it, and follow it like "any other" beautiful animation.

Disney knows how to entertain its public and this can be seen in this short movie. We are told the story of a man and his puppy who live together in peace and harmony. Until an unforeseen event occurs, the puppy becomes a little bit upset, but discovers soon how to handle the situation and restore the atmosphere that was once in the house. Oh, I love happy endings.
