Feast is to Big Hero 6 what Icing is to Cake

I love the fact that running in front of animated films from Pixar and Disney are delightful shorts that are so good they're like icing on a big delicious cake. With Big Hero Six set to come out soon, Disney's released a trailer for its new short film Feast, and it looks pretty awesome. I'm reminded of when Julia Child said, "People who love to eat are always the best people." In this case, I think it applies to puppies too. But really, food is one of those things through which we are all connected kinda like the Force (is it ironic that Star Wars is also owned by Disney? Hmm).

From what I can tell, the plot of Feast is pretty simple. An adorable and hungry Boston Terrier puppy gets fed all kinds of nice things, and we get taken along for the journey through some pretty amazing animation. Seriously, I love the style of this animation and wish that more films got made that use the techniques on display in Feast. So if you haven't stumbled across this trailer for the short film yet, then click play on the embedded video below.

Big Hero 6 shows that Disney is willing to give it another go with diversity in its films. I hope it does really well.

Is it possible that Disney finally got the message that diversity in its films is actually good? The newest film from the animation studio is Big Hero 6, and from the looks of it I'm going to like it. However, as my taste doesn't necessarily predict "blockbuster" status, I'll simply say that I think the trailer is amazing even if it never conquers the records smashed by Frozen (which left me somewhat nonplussed). Guys, I'm seriously doing a happy dance that I'm seeing Asians, Blacks, and all kinds of people of color in this show. What a breath of fresh air.

So the main character is a tech wizard (and a boy) by the name of Hiro. So yeah...an Asian kid that's also a nerd. Nice right? When Hiro's brother dies, he inherits a robotic helper named Baymax. For the rest, I think you should just take a couple minutes and watch the trailer and decide for yourself. I think its filled with funny lines and images and seems to have that uplifting feeling that I like when I watch movies of this nature. And it's fun that Baymax is fat and basically serving in the role of "hero." I like that. It almost makes me want to "clutch the pearls."
