Feast!

When Disney’s superhero animated film, “Big Hero 6,” was released in 2014, it was one of two animated films from Disney’s studio.

As is normal in Disney films, a short animated film called “Feast” was played in theaters before “Big Hero 6,” which was another good short.

“Feast” is about Winston, an adorable animated Boston terrier. The short starts when Winston is a puppy, looking for food in discarded trash of humans he’s surrounded by. Emily Donn said in her review, “Suddenly, a hand lowers a French fry to puppy level, and Winston has found his "furever home," as pet enthusiasts call it.”

No longer looking for cheese in burger wrappers, Winston is treated to a large range of delicious, unhealthy, and highly processed foods his owner eats, with an occasional bowl of kibble in his bowl. However, when his owner meets a woman who is studying to be a chef, and is evidently a healthy food person, Winston’s food diet is drastically changed. Because how can a dog choose between the foods he loves, and the happiness he has with his owner?

Donn noted, “Most films aimed at children throw in a smattering of jokes for the adults who will end up watching as well, be they a dated pop culture reference, or a suggestive innuendo that (hopefully) sales right over the heads of the children.” “Feast” accomplishes the task of a really rare and hard way. The same parts of “Feast” that children will love adults will also love. Seeing how the Internet has really shown continuously that a cute animal video is something that everyone really loves. Winston may be a cartoon dog, but he is as cute and friendly as a real dog. When he tries to gorge everything from pizza to pasta to nachos, it’s adorable and funny. (For those who own/owned a dog, or a sly cat, really relatable.) Despite the short not having any dialogue and everything is seen from the dog’s point of view, there is never a time that is difficult to follow, not even the relationship between the couple.

Donn ended her review by saying, “Feast is a charming lead-in to Big Hero 6, with a strong and simple message about love, family, and those we share our meals with.”

As the final short for “Walt Disney’s Short Film Collection,” I think this is really relatable for those who own a house pet. You will fall in love with this short and you will laugh when you see how Winston behaves with his owner. This is another short that I think everyone should watch because you will fall in love with it and enjoy it from first minute to last.

The other two shorts on this DVD, “Tangled Ever After” and “Frozen Fever,” I have already reviewed a few years back, and I was surprised that they were in this collection. Since those two shorts have already been looked at, I reviewed the other shorts and I think everyone will like all of the shorts here.

Now that we are done with the shorts, look out tomorrow when I review a trilogy of sports films that I am not a fan of in “Disney Month 2020.”
