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.

This short won the Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead:This is a short produced by Walt Disney Animation Studio. It was released theatrically as an accompaniment to Big Hero 6, playing before the feature. As with pretty much everything Disney has done for a very long time, the animation is great. Here, the story is equal to the animation.Though a dog named Winston is technically the focus of the short, it's really about relationships, relationships specifically tied to food. Winston is found as a stray by a guy named James, who lures him over with a french fry. Throughout the short, in very sharply done transitions, you see Winston at various points in time and the moments are intertwined with food. First dog food, then human food mixed with dog food and eventually just human food. James feeds him whatever he's eating.Then James gets involved with a girl, a waitress at his favorite place to eat and the food starts getting healthy (read, vegetables) which Winston dislikes intensely. The couple breaks up and the junk diet comes back. But Winston's a very perceptive dog and realizes that James is incredibly sad because he's no longer involved with the girl. He fixes things between them and the role of food in his and their lives changes slightly, but still acts as the focus of Winston in the short, which creatively moves the story along. Watch the short through to the end of the credits, as the director and animators of the short use still drawings to continue the story as the credits roll.This short has been included as an extra on the Big Hero 6 Blu Ray/DVD releases and is well worth seeing. Most highly recommended.

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.

I saw this short film for the first time taking my little sister to see big hero six. I thoroughly enjoyed this short. I enjoy most animated shorts and this one did not fall "short" (sorry for the pun.) It takes you through a very mature subject through the eyes of a small puppy i don't want to spoil anything. the animation was not my favorite but to get an entire story through in less then ten minutes. this seem's very difficult to do. It also was a nice change from the boring commercials they usually playing in the movie theater. It is also an adorable dog. just in case, this next part may or may not contains spoilers. the story line was funny. that is more then I can say about a lot of full time movies. It was also clever. Im a writer and telling a story through a dogs eyes never crossed my mind. -dr nerdy
