News Round Up 2019

Has anyone been watching the new Pixar shorts? I think their might be two right: Purl and Smash and Grab.

I'm not sure if they're available anywhere else but I saw them on YouTube. They're surprisingly adult, they even swear.

Well these are considered Sparkshorts (at least Purl is haven’t watched the other yet). Sparkshorts are supposed to be for animators to test things out whether it’s story lines, technology, edgier content. I really enjoyed Purl.

yeah, there was some chatter on here after Purl came out. I liked it but wish they hadn't use the sear word or made the prick joke as you could have easily avoided that and then I would have been able to show it to my kids. As it stands, I cannot

The Smash and Grab one I liked and didn't see anything non family-friendly in it - was some beautiful animation too

Smash and Grab is also a Sparkshort - I think those are the only two available so far

Smash and Grab had me a bit emotional. I guess I like robots?

So are they at least Pixar animators?

Yes I believe they are up and coming animators showcasing what they can do.

I wonder if the low cost apartments at Flamingo Crossings is a idea to try and give affordable housing to those who may have started in the college program but then want to come back after the program is over. Its a good way to make moving to work for Disney more affordable for the temporary work force to become more perm

There was a sufficient amount of pearl clutching about this last week.

I didn't like Purl - It seemed like just a political statement and wasn't particularly funny or emotional. Plus it wasn't kid-friendly (not that it has to be, there just is really no warnning).
I watched Smash and Grab and loved it. This could easily be a "before a movie" short and reminds me a LOT of Wall-E. Heck this short would have been a LOT more appropriate to put in front of Incredibles 2 instead of Bao. Bao feels like it is more in line of these Spark Shorts. An artist with a very personal story to share via animation.

Smash and Grab was just plain entertaining!

Two options for Elsa with the waves I see are:
- Simply Elsa testing her powers and having a "workout"
- Trying to get out to where her parent's shipwreck happened for some reason (maybe something that was on board that went down with the ship)

I got the impression from the trailer that they are stranded on some other island/land (far from home). I agree with what others have speculated - searching for their parents?

I do like how this completes the "season" of Frozen movies:

Frozen - Summer
Frozen Fever - Spring
Olaf's Frozen Adventure - Winter
Frozen II - Fall.

Sorry I missed that work has been awful.

They don't even push them this hard on Halloween.
