A mother is trying to teach her young bird how to dig for clams on the beach in between the waves rolling onshore. After getting drenched, the little bird fears going back until it follows a family of hermit crabs. The little bird discovers a new and better way to hunt for clams.
There is no doubt that the CGI animation is top of the line coming from Pixar. The water, the colors, the birds, and the background are all drawn with detail and beauty. The story is also fun considering its short length. I actually laughed out loud when the little bird gets soaking wet. That's very rare for a short. It continues to be fun and compelling all the way to the end. The Oscar win is great.
