best movie i've ever seen.

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Maverick Pixar can do so many things in three minutes. It can present a contemporary view of the society- teeming with snobbish, truculent, neurotic, vindictive people or in this case birds who show no mercy to outcasts and unite to bring them down the wire the moment the outcast wants to be included in the society. Big birdie over here looks stupid and dim-witted to the bickering birds who are appalled at the sight of their new companion. However, it is big birdie who gets the last laugh.The wonderful thing about Pixar is that its films are dear to it. Therefore, FTB is referred to not only in Finding Nemo but also in Cars. And it's very well made short indeed. 8 out of 10.

Pixar remind us how versatile the short film is as an art form in this hilarious, somewhat silent short that serves to illustrate how the studio would later go on to succeed in shaping the equally serene opening act of their 2008 release 'Wall-E', another consecutive box-office hit for Pixar despite the brave lack of dialogue, which polarises mature viewers as much as it does youngsters.Displaying great craftsmanship in its cinematography with a flawless choice of angles and shots, 'For The Birds' is a perfect example of classic comedy in its simplest form. Less is more.10/10

"For the Birds" is only a three minute short film with a well deserved big award, the 2002 Oscar for Best Short Film, animated. I completely understand why, "For the Birds", one of Pixar's most recent short films won the award. Though I found Pixar's earlier work to be more enjoyable and humorous, such as their shorts from Toy Story 1 and A Bugs Life, it still was fun to watch and suitable for all ages.This film is a perfect example of karma, how your negativity can back fire on you. It had many built in messages, most of the hidden ones recognized by the older audience, but children still get the same type of impression of what is going on and why the outcast, goofy looking bird was left out of the group of all the other birds that looked alike, because children start to build social groups at younger ages than what most people would think.The introduction animation was amazing, how the letters flowed along the telephone pole wire in front of the blue sky with extravagant white cartoon clouds, it gives you a good feeling of what your about to watch. The birds were creative, short, chubby, but with an annoying repetitive chirp, they were also a bluish color and odd looking eliminating questions like, "What kind of birds are those?" when it shouldn't matter and isn't something that should be bothersome or a mystery.I thought "For the Birds" was hilarious and a small three minute segment that can keep people talking. I would recommend it to anyone, especially children, though there wasn't any dialog the humor came across just as good or even better as if there was. But without dialog small facts to embrace the film can be difficult to get across. No one would know until they read about the film that four of the birds on the wires had names, Chipper, Bully, Snob, and Neurotic, and they all acted out their personalities, there was most likely no possible way to get that across unless they added something in the beginning where they introduced the birds but that might have took away from the comical value. I also don't think the title was appealing, it sounds kind of awkward and I didn't see the connection to the film.

Okay an hour, if like me you watch it twenty times, and then watch it again. I recommend copying it from the DVD onto your hard drive, keep it handy."For The Birds" is another slick, colourful vignette from the wonderful Pixar animation studio, a delightful moral tale, and simply essential viewing for anyone following their remarkable output.A masterwork of lightening fast character sketching and feathery CGI texture work, comic at every turn, and still laugh-out-loud funny after two dozen viewings or more. Watch out, most of the best action happens at the left hand side.The sort of thing you could imagine some Pixar genius tossing off over lunch-break, just for fun, except it probably took months to create and weeks to render. But sure worth every single CPU cycle.Will get a belly-laugh even from problem children. -mu
