Really Terrific

This is a sweet tale with a good message about how to deal when Bad Things

Happen. Beautiful animation (as expected by Pixar). Amazing how much

emotion is packed in a slim 5 minutes. Sentimental without being cynical or

cloying. A mini-triumph. This is getting wide exposure as it is playing in front of The Incredibles (another Pixar triumph). I am not usually a huge fan of

computer animation, and if you aren't either, you really ought to give this a shot. This is Oscar worthy, hopefully in the short animated subject realm. Since it is a short, here's hoping this appears on The Incredibles DVD. It would be a shame if this gem were to somehow get lost underfoot someplace at the studio. I

hesitate to mention much of the story, as I knew absolutely nothing going in, and was floored by how moved I was by it. A must see.
