Pixar Short film

The genre of this short story is comedy/ adventure with the same target audience as the film (this short film was produced by Pixar as an extra to accompany the film 'UP'). The animation, although it appears detailed and colourful is actually very simple. The mouths of the characters do not move when they are speaking meaning that you are just watching a still image. In my opinion this is not as effective as if their mouths were moving as sometimes it gets confusing as to which character is actually speaking. The movement in the characters is also quite limited. The story does however feature a range of quite effective sound effects which help make up for the lack of movement from the characters. The short film does feature some conventional features though. The film is based around 2- 3 main characters, with a simple problem/ storyline that becomes solved at the end. Many sound effects are also used to accompany the dialogue (dialogue is not a conventional feature).
