For the Birds Trailers

One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together has problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird that tries to join them. The birds of a feather can't help but make fun of him - and their clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end.

This movie is story of the birds which flock to the wire. Small birds flock to the wire. Immediately small birds fight. General also, people quarrel with neighborhood due to little thing. Small birds find big birds. The small birds fool about the big bird. But, the big bird don't notice that small birds fool about the big bird. Next the small birds scare because the big bird don't notice that small birds fool about the big bird, so small birds take a distance from big birds. General also among people, people ostracized persons who do not like. This situation connected discrimination. I think this movie represents that thing. This is good movie.

I've seen this short several times and the first time I saw it at the cinema before 'Monsters Inc,' I found it absolutely hilarious. When my father purchased the 'Monsters Inc' DVD, I also found it funny the second time around but when I was shown this in assembly at school with my fellow pupils, nobody really laughed to my Head of Year's surprise. After having seen this for the first time in several years upon renting the first volume of Pixar shorts on a DVD, I laughed just as much as I did on my first two viewings.The small birds are adorable and the big bird is a hoot. The funniest parts were the little birds seeming to argue when they stood on the wire of the telegraph pole, the honking sounds they make whilst puffing out and the moment the wire flung them up in the air when they were trying to peck the big bird off it. It was also funny when the bids realised their feathers were missing, covered themselves as if they had privates and hid behind the big bird followed by the splat of bird poo on the ending card. The animation has impressive use of the squash and stretch principle, the birds are coloured in a lovely shade of blue and the musical score is reminiscent of those used in 'Luxo Jr' and 'Red's Dream.'Overall this is one of Pixar's funniest and most straightforward shorts. 9/10.

When I first saw this short movie, I just couldn't stop laughing. The behavior of the birds in the group... right on the spot!!! It's not just the animation of Pixar, it's the storyline as well. I can watch this over and over again...This company is on the top for years now, and every new movie or short that is released, adds another quality to the skills of Pixar. 'For the Birds' is also released on a separate DVD, with a collection of short animations of Pixar.So if you don't want to buy every Pixar-movie (I couldn't think of any reason why You would not want to buy the best there is), get the DVD with the collection of Pixar shorts...

This is a wacky little short that is about one big and dumb bird and his dealings with lots of mean little birds. The big guy just wants to be friends, but the nasty little guys want him to go away and don't care what they have to do to make it happen--leading to a very funny conclusion where the little jerks get theirs! Think about it...for the category of Best Animated Short Film for the Oscars for 2002, you have several independent productions made on shoestring budgets...and this WHOPPING production made by the pioneering geniuses at Pixar Films! It's a definite case of "David versus Goliath", though in this case Goliath definitely wins! Pixar couldn't help but win--the graphics were, as usual, superb, the writing was spot on and brilliant and it was just so gosh-darn cute and entertaining. So for the "little guys", it's definitely a huge struggle to beat such a great combination. This film definitely earned the award, but you gotta wonder how tough it must feel to be one of these other filmmakers. Perhaps, in an odd way, this film might be a metaphor about this struggle.
