Burrow

This is a 2020 short from Pixar: 

Before I review this Pixar short, two points need to be addressed.

*This was viewed on the big screen last month when a trip was made to the cinema to witness Soul for the first time.
* In the upcoming week, don’t expect reviews of motion pictures every night. Both members of my family and a friend are visiting Florida. Much time will be spent w/ them.

Thus, more than one list will be posted and at least one short will be reviewed. For example, yesterday afternoon I posted a list devoted to my reviews from the Lethal Weapon franchise. Now, this was the right time for me to finally discuss what I revisited last night on Disney+.

The short is 5 ½ minutes long so there isn’t too much to elaborate upon, at least in terms of plot. A brown rabbit wishes to dig a burrow underground as a home. Her “blueprints” are a simplistic drawing on paper but you still feel bad as her digging encroaches on other homes built by a variety of animals; she’s more embarrassed about it than they were. Calamity happens but the ending is thankfully rosy.

This was part of Pixar’s SparkShorts series, where the studio gives its employees six months to create a short. This creation from Madeline Sharafian was simply cute between the charming 2D animation, the score that was more than one composition from Mozart, and a nice story which was free of dialogue yet the images said 1,000 words… it was a nice reminder that even the shorts from the legendary studio can be a sheer delight.
