Featured review
Visually Charming. ♦ 90%
It goes without saying how clear the animation is here. The attention to details and a very simple story makes it a wonderful 7 minute short.
Derived from the "Cars" universe, it talks about how Mater teases his friends and how they decide to take revenge, all in a funny manner. The imaginative plot also delivers a message to children who will perceive it permanently.
The various themes it samples are self-righteousness, sarcasm, dear, hallucination (kind of) and light horror. Music and background score add to the fun. Fantastic direction & very colorful setup. The niceties, of you focus on them, are bound to reveal how the makers are filled with creativity.
BOTTOM LINE: A very cool short; definitely one of Pixar's best.
