Partly Cloudy

The clouds create cute babies and the storks deliver them. Gus is a gray cloud who keeps producing babies that aren't the easiest to deliver. Peck is the stork tasked to deliver them. First, it's a crocodile which almost bites his head off. Next, it's a ram which packs quite a punch. He gets pricked by the porcupine and the shark is simply too much. Peck flies away but he returns with helmet and pads to take on the dangerous babies. Although the protection may not save him from the electric eel. The premise may work for little kids but it's not quite as good for anybody older. It's not as charming as it wants to be although it is a cute idea.

Pixar accompanies its CGI features with short films, and the shorts are usually thematically related in some way to the feature. Thus Up, which tells the story of a man who flies his house through the clouds by tying hundreds of helium balloons to it, is accompanied by Partly Cloudy, which tells what clouds get up to which we can't see. This turns out to be creating cloud babies, cloud puppies, cloud kittens, applying some cloud magic to turn them into living, breathing babies, puppies, kittens, and then turning them over to storks (Storks and clouds are, rather engagingly, partnered up) for delivery. One cloud - rather more dirty than his white, fluffy companions - is tasked with creating the junior versions of the less engaging species, which he does very well. However, these biting, butting, stinging, stabbing creatures mean that his stork partner has the very worst job in the whole stork baby delivery fleet. This wordless story is beautifully designed, brilliantly animated, beautifully communicated, full of slapstick humour and also genuine emotion and, like most of Pixar's shorts, it is very, very funny. A class piece of work. I loved it.

Storks are known for giving every animal their babies. In this story, they transport babies from clouds in the sky. A cloud is good at creating dangerous babies, such as crocodiles, sharks, or hedgehogs. So, the stork which comes to those clouds has many troubles carrying babies. We sometimes compare clouds to something else, however, in this movie, clouds in the sky have expressive faces and feelings. When they get angry, lightning strikes from it. Also, when it feels sad, rain comes out instead of tears. I think this idea is very interesting because clouds are depicted like humans. The back ground pictures are so beautiful and they make this movie more fantastic. When you look up on the sky, you may find a gentle cloud like in this movie.

It's short but straight to the point. Loved how they set the graphics. I really enjoyed it, it's a great simple idea. It was entertaining and educational in a way. If you have an idea about how Pixel's movies are then you'd know what I'm talking about. Well if you fancy something light and funny to watch then this it. It all depends on what you are looking for, it's really short but interesting as well. Worth watching though.
