Director Dave Mullins is a draftsman and has participated in "Dream Travel", "Inside Out", "Flying House", "Monster Company" and "Finding Nemo"... In other words, Pixar's films in the past 15 years , has a piece of his heart and blood.
The story is classic Pixar-style chicken soup:
A bunch of items that were left unintentionally by the children became fine in the lost and found box. Not only can they find their respective owners separately, but they can also change in seventy-two ways when they get together. While silently guarding the campus, he also taught a little villain who likes to bully others. In the end, everyone got back what belonged to them, and the little villain also got back the beauty left in his heart.
Still the original recipe, still the familiar taste. Smooth choreography, superb technique, and warm ending. After reading it, there is no lack of knowing smiles, but it is not enough to applaud.
My favorite thing about this short film is the design of the title.
Lost and found in English is LOST AND FOUND, L, O, U are three of the letters. And the lost and found box in the opening screen just happened to lose LOU. With the plot, it is not difficult to find that the title and the text of the film form an interesting intertext.
Suddenly I felt that the most impressive thing about a Pixar work was the title of the film. Seems a little sad.
After all, after so many years, the most impressive and favorite Pixar animated short film is still 1997's "Geri's Game". That's the most humorous description of loneliness I've ever seen.
I also miss those days: Disney was strong, but it was not the dominant player it is today. Pixar was entering its most creative period, and Blue Sky Studios was about to receive its first Oscar nomination. Man, DreamWorks has just been established.
Everything looks thriving.
