A Real Hit'n'Miss Collection Of CGI Shorts
12 June 2020 | by StrictlyConfidential – See all my reviews

Unfortunately, out of the 12 animated shorts presented here on this DVD (courtesy of Disney-Pixar Studios), I'd say that about 8 of them seriously missed the mark by a country mile.

It sure seems to me that the animators at Disney-Pixar are clearly stuck in some kind of a creative rut here where subject matter in a majority of these shorts is obviously very limited and equally repetitive.

I guess that it all comes down to the whole aspect of artistic stagnation, rather than free-thinking imagination.
