Captivating First Footage from Disney’s Animated Short FEAST
Disney has released close to a minute of footage from their new animated short “Feast,” which will be attached to theatrical screenings of Big Hero 6. The short comes from first time director Patrick Osborne, who was an animator on films such as Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, and was Head Animator on Disney’s 2012 award-winning short “Paperman.”
“Feast” follows a man’s love life as seen through the eyes of his dog, Winston, and is revealed "bite by bite through the meals they share." One of our editors saw the short last month, and wrote up a detailed summary that goes into how the man goes from feeding Winston dog food to more extravagant meals. I really hope kids don’t start serving their dogs plates of nachos. There’d be a mighty mess to clean up afterwards... and it wouldn’t be cheese.
The short looks to have improved upon the 2D/3D hybrid animation used in “Paperman.” Perhaps it’s just the fact that this film uses more color, but it really seems to be more vibrant and pop off the screen more. The lighting in particular is very striking and adds a lot of warmth and depth. It’s only a matter of time before we see a full feature using this type of hybrid animation, which brings Disney back to its 2D roots while simultaneously blazing a whole new trail.
You'll be able to watch "Feast" in its entirety before Big Hero 6 starting November 7th.
