Lifted (2006)

This film is about a newbie alien which tries to abduct a human who is sleeping into the UFO. However, he found it really hard since he is struggling to control the switches. This movie's plot is really simple but the film itself is able to narrate it in really cute and interesting way. There are so much to talk about this film. First off, the sound effect of this makes this film more interesting and play such a critical role in expressing the tone of the film. Of course, the sound effects in animation tend to be more exaggerated but this film manage to use the sound effects to enhance the joke of character's action really well and in a good timing. The facial expressions and visual story telling are so easy to understand the character's feeling and what is going on in the movie that make the audience want to keep up with the movie and support a teenage alien because of its cuteness and clumsiness. If you like comedy animation with very cute characters, I definitely you guys watching this short film.

A sleeping human rests on his bed when a gigantic UFO appears and, hell-bent on it, attempts to take him away. The animation sets the scene as something mysterious, something that the spectator is expecting to see in an UFO movie, which later on adds to the humorisity of it all when the alien keeps on trying to take the human away without success, making the viewer realise that this isn't a normal short. There's no dialogue, but the visual storytelling (the expressions of the aliens, the circumstances in which the youn alien is in) is so great that it isn't needed. The constant mistakes of the alien and the absolute blank-face of his partner are hilarious, but the story has time to turn a little heartwarming before making the audience laugh again. The ending is truly the cherry on top of this humorous short.

Two characters in this short film look gross like monsters, but it's very funny because they seem to treat a sleeping boy as a pawn in the game. Although it's an only 5-minute film, it's enough for us to enjoy this work. I don't understand what the purpose of making it is actually, and I guess it's just for fun as killing time. So, I'd like you to watch it during lunch time, before sleeping, when you feel sad, or when you want to have fun and laugh a lot. If I can use the machine in it, I want to enjoy using it carefully although I'm supposed to make the boy die instead.

This short movie is exciting and so are Pixar's movie. There are mainly two reasons for it. First, the characters who perform in it don't communicate by language and instead of it they communicate by their face, mood and so on. It is unbelievable that they talk without a little bit of language but they can do it in the movie. Moreover, it is smart of The Pixar's film makers to tell the story contents without language. Actually, he audience can catch it. Furthermore, people all over the world are able to understand and watch this movie so this movie is loved by a wide age and country range of people. In other words, it overcomes each country's border. In Addition Pixar is one of the biggest film maker companies so this movie shows such a company's greatness. Finally, in my opinion, the movie is one of the most interesting and brilliant. Then those characters talk and communicate without language, Pixar's film maker can make us understand the contents and it suppose that this short movie is loved by people all over the world. From those three reasons, I think it is exciting and so Pixar.
