Jonathan K @aFIREintheattic 2d Unique animation and a somewhat unique concept, though very simple. It's funny in moments, cute in moments, and sad in moments, but it didn’t feel that profound to me. If anything, I recoiled a bit. The whole idea centers on all the things you’re going to *do* and why you shouldn’t wait until retirement to do them. But life isn't just about doing; it's about being. Philosophically, it didn't really land for me. I also kept wondering where the people in his life were. He seemed very alone. Most of the things he wanted to do were solitary, which kind of adds to my criticism: is that really what life is about? See more Sedale S. @sedale143 Feb 3 Beautiful and satisfyingly depressing. See more Yash B @yashbansal Jan 26 "Retirement Plan" is a sweet and thought-provoking short film. I feel like this film has a heartfelt lesson that applies to just about everyone. I found myself laughing and also feeling emotional throughout the few minutes this film tells its story. The animation feels unique and somewhat dull by design. Overall, this is one of the best animated shorts from the Oscar batch, and I really kept thinking about it after watching it. See more Read all reviews
