How sad is this?
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I just seen this now and I thought it was really cute.Its about a stray dog who is rescued by a man who later finds love with a waitress and of course they break up and they get back together again. Both the guy and the dog have one thing in common. They love to eat fast food stuff like meatballs,pizzas you name it.Overall it was a cute short from Disney and if you haven't seen it check it out for yourselves. A true Oscar winner since Paperman and Get A Horse. Just to let you know that the short is shown before Big Hero 6 so if you haven't seen it like I said be sure and don't miss it. Winner of an Oscar and 2 other awards Feast is truly a great animated short mixing hand drawn and CGI together.7/10
At the cinema this short animated film played before Disney Pixar film Big Hero 6. Basically a stray male Boston Terrier puppy is eating from discarded food wrappers, when a man named James drops a French fry on the ground, the dog easts it, James offers him a second, then takes him home. James names the dog Winston and begins feeding him as his pet, giving him portions of his own meals and junk food in addition to his traditional dog food, and Winston loves it. But things change when one day James starts a relationship with a waitress at a local restaurant, where he takes Winston with him, feeding him the leftovers, but she persuades James to have a healthier diet and lifestyle, meaning that Winston's leftovers and food consists of vegetables, which he hates. Winston resists eating most of his meals, but then James is sent into a deep depression when he and the girlfriend break up, meaning he reverts back to his old ways and eating habits, Winston is happy again, but he recognises his owner is in low spirits. So Winston snatches a piece of parsley, that James kept as a reminder of his girlfriend, and he races out of the apartment to find her, James follows Winston to the restaurant, and there he and the girlfriend reconcile, and they soon after get married. The couple move into a new house together, Winston chases some meatballs falling on the floor, and goes up to a high chair occupied by the couple's infant child, the baby happily throws more meatballs to him, the film ends with Winston ready to feat on cupcakes knocked off the table during the child's first birthday party. This is a good film, seeing from the perspective of a dog, meaning that human characters are mostly seen from his height, and only facially when he jumps up, the dog is of course the endearing character, and the simple story is both funny and sweet, and the combination of hand-drawn and computer animation works very well, it is a great short animated film. It won the Oscar for Best Short Animated Film. Very good!
Absolutely tasteless and totally wrong. Beware of this animation short, it could damage your kids behavior! "Feast"(2014) animated short in just 6 minutes had been promoting: 1.Fast Food unhealthy diet and human obesity connected with that: dog's owner character (out of the focus hero) is unshapely obese. 2.Compulsive Eating Disorder: "when in trouble eat a lot of ice- cream!" 3. Hatred for vegetables: Puppy puking in the kid's animated short?? Really! 4. Neglect of your pet's health via wrong diet: Wouldn't your kids think it is cool to feed your family dog with all the food trash left after watching this short? 5. Reproducing all these mentioned above wrong ways in the behavior of the newborn kid of the pet owners characters.And the Academy Award of the year goes for the 6 min of kid's total brainwashing.
Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 4.5/5 starsWarm animation and an easy to digest palate of colors welcome the viewer into this tale that is as deep as it is visually sumptuous. For all its visual splendor, the humor and heart at the core of the story is what make "Feast" a great short film. The simplistic plot centers on one man's love life as it's seen through the eyes of his best friend and dog, Winston, and revealed bite by bite through the meals they share.Winston is a lovable, rambunctious pup, and his journey is easy to relate to. He loves to eat, and shares meals with his bachelor caretaker, faithfully accompanying him on life's journey. The need for home, for family (however one chooses to define it) and companionship are all lovingly touched upon by a well written script. The script also utilizes food for comedy and as a self- referential item to look at its importance in our lives.This short from director Patrick Osborne, one of the animators on Disney's Oscar winner "Paperman" (2012), introduces audiences to the most lovable puppy that animation fans have ever seen. "Feast" heaps plate upon plate of mouth-watering goodness into the center of the frame as Winston's happy appetite – especially for the comforting junk food his owner plops before him as they bond over pizza, nachos, spaghetti and meatballs, and more – becomes a metaphor for the pleasure of sharing a meal with a loved one. The tone of the film changes even when the comfort food stays the same, showing that it's the company, not the food itself, that gives meals their flavor. "Feast" features an unexpected arc as it takes viewers through a lifetime of highs and lows for the pooch and his master told primarily through the grub they share.It also marks one of Disney's most significant shorts because of the wondrous animation with which Osborne tells the tale. The film features cutting-edge 3D animation, yet the characters bear quintessential 2D elements, for they have the depth and dimensions afforded to characters by contemporary technology. Winston is an endearing pooch that moves with the lifelike briskness, energy, and spunk of a real dog, but he has the affectionate flair of originality that comes when an animator offers a unique creation instead of trying to emulate the real: The result is a dog who looks and feels more real than a conventional motion-capture simulation. (And Winston is definitely a 'who' rather than a 'that.')The success comes primarily through the emotional authenticity that Osborne and his team of cunning animators inject into the dog. Thanks to the sparkles in Winston's eyes, the expressiveness of his saggy jowls, and the scampering of his paws "Feast" adds human-like traits to a character without fully anthropomorphizing him into a full-fledged talking dog. The film also has an impeccable attention to detail that makes it feel especially cinematic. The light textures look better than ever for an animated film as "Feast" ingeniously blends warm glows and swathes of sunlight that make the mealtimes extra appetizing. Sound effects editing and mixing deserve equal billing along with the film's crisp, character-driven animation. A lovely, subtle score by Alex Ebert ("All is Lost") also accentuates the emotions at just the right moments, but the greatest triumph of this heartwarming short is how it cleverly lets the endlessly adorable face of Winston work as its best special effect. Winston's keenly observed body language clearly reflects Osborne's obvious love of dogs."Feast" is an animated short that knocks it out of the park, and lives up to its title in the best of ways.
