Le Festin

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)

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.

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.

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

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.
