With "Toy Story" (1995) and the relentless parade of computer-animated burgers ever since, Pixar has led the way in replacing hand-drawn, traditional animation. It's rather strange then that this short from them, "Burrow," celebrates that past style. It kind of has the feel of going to McDonalds to order a salad. Hopefully, Pixar hasn't simply ran out of innovations in computer and digital drawing and so reverts to re-inventing the old. Regardless, this short that was to be paired with the CGI-animated feature "Soul" (2020) in theatres--and I assume has been in those parts of the world that now seem to exist in the past when movie-going involved me leaving my home--is a pleasant little movie.
Speaking of the construction of animation, I like how the picture is architectural, of a rabbit trying to build a home underground. On top of that, the rabbit drew a blueprint for it. The other underground critters likewise have drawings for their dwellings. And, in the wider cut-out shots, we get views of the entire community's burrowing. A clever spark of a short.

When the simple satisfies us, but the opinion of others affects us, simple, short, full of symbolism and delicacy, perfect outcome, or almost, they could have made the hole, exactly as he wanted, without the adjustments made by the friends, after all, our dreams, even the simplest ones, just need to become real in order to reach happiness, without the addition of third parties...
At the time of this review, there are no details for this beyond the name, that it's a short, and that it was released in 2020.
If this is in fact the Disney Pixar short that is available on Disney Plus, about a rabbit trying to build a home underground, then know that it is great and totally worth your 6 minutes!

This is quite an engaging short animation about a rabbit who dreams of living in the perfect home. He draws himself a plan and then armed with a pointy shovel, sets off to dig himself in. He doesn't quite anticipate, though, that it might be hard work; that he is going to have some mishaps along the way and perhaps, just perhaps, he might be better seeking the assistance of his fellow critters who just want a nice home too - the same as him! It has a gentle message of inter-reliance and community spirit. No rabbit is a island and all that; and some of the facial expressions as our young friend gets perilously close to being drowned out are entertaining. There's a nice, jolly, score to accompany it and is worth five minutes to remind us that endeavours are usually best entered into as a team.
