Movie Info

A flock of small birds perched high atop a telephone wire are joined by a dopey bigger bird that just wants in on some of the fun in this Academy Award-winning animated short from Pixar. While at first the larger fowl doesn't realize that he is being made fun of, a curious development finds out clueless but lovable feathered friend eventually getting the last laugh.

Audience Reviews for For The Birds

Jul 07, 2009

For The Birds is the side-splittingly hilarious short animated movie that preceded the rather unimpressive Monsters, Inc. Pixar is becoming more and more famous for the hilarity of their movies and For The Birds is definitely no exception. This movie is a very simple short, with no dialogue. The little birds are really cool with great facial expressions and manage to be really likeable. The big bird looks real goofy and it's easy to join the little birds in mocking him. The animation is superb, the backgrounds are bright and colourful and each feather on each bird looks really realistic. The short is very funny - funnier than it sounds, the little birds are really funny, kids will love it because all the comedy is visual, adults will love it because it's not too childish. It feels better than it is because it is a one-joke short.

<center> I love this one! Very funny. Bad Karma happens, especially for the birds =)) Recommended, watch this on youtube. The movie is about a group of birds resting on an electric cable. Then a big bird came and so on and so forth.( Don't want to say what happened next.) <img src=http://i32.tinypic.com/bg5u21.jpg>

No matter how lazy (plot-wise) and uncreative the Pixar crew got this time, the film still entertains for the right reasons. No parables involved this time, unfortunately, but we still have the full feature films for maintaining our hopes. 69/100
