09/16/2021 Sparkshorts Season 1 (F) (35%) So many overly political messages... I understand that the creators of some of the cartoons have options and values and want to share but these feel so forced and awful. I don't know what audience they are trying to appeal to... I am sad to say this about this season as there are some good shorts in the midst here. But the ones that were bad really made a bad taste in my mouth over all See more 08/19/2021 Not all of the shorts knock it out of the park, even if we're to avoid making comparisons with the big-screen short films, but SparkShorts still offers further proof that Pixar are the best at what they do with shorts that go for different art styles that, for the most part, look great for things done on smaller budgets than usual, poignant themes (what did you expect from the guys whose motto is "Story is King") and manage to offer hope in their wholesomeness. Some of them are kind-of forgettable but I don't regret seeing them. PERSONAL FAVOURITE: Kitbull. See more 02/18/2021 Disney and Pixar's Sparkshorts is wonderful and amazing! See more 02/05/2021 While not every short is a homerun, each one brings originality in both story and animation technique that the industry has been seriously lacking recently. See more 07/14/2020 a collection of joy full short films See more 12/20/2019 More mature than every other Pixar production, which is why is more timely, but most importantly, more touching, heartwarming, and emotional, than most shorts. It has a level of quality compared only to the movies. See more Read all reviews
