It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This Pixar short is only three minutes long and won an Oscar for best short animation.It has a simple message. Do not judge a book by its cover and might had been inspired by a Dr Seuss story,Some small birds are sitting on a telephone line when a large bird wants to join them. Thye make fun of him because he does not look like them and try to force him off the line. In short treat him like an outcast.The large bird gets the last laugh as his size means their feathers are more than ruffled.

Apart from being such an amusing and funny short, it teaches us something. We don't let all people in our circles . We surround ourselves with the ones that are "likeable" and pleasant to be with. Well, there's another story in this movie, but you get the point. Many people come and go, and it's becoming harder and harder to make a selection of the ones that you want to spend time, have fun, and be with.

This is a wacky little short that is about one big and dumb bird and his dealings with lots of mean little birds. The big guy just wants to be friends, but the nasty little guys want him to go away and don't care what they have to do to make it happen--leading to a very funny conclusion where the little jerks get theirs! Think about it...for the category of Best Animated Short Film for the Oscars for 2002, you have several independent productions made on shoestring budgets...and this WHOPPING production made by the pioneering geniuses at Pixar Films! It's a definite case of "David versus Goliath", though in this case Goliath definitely wins! Pixar couldn't help but win--the graphics were, as usual, superb, the writing was spot on and brilliant and it was just so gosh-darn cute and entertaining. So for the "little guys", it's definitely a huge struggle to beat such a great combination. This film definitely earned the award, but you gotta wonder how tough it must feel to be one of these other filmmakers. Perhaps, in an odd way, this film might be a metaphor about this struggle.

"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.
