Riley's First Date?

This short animated film is a kind of mini-sequel to Pixar's Inside Out movie. Being a movie of this gigantic and creative studio, the quality is guaranteed.

This movie shows how often we pay more attention to feature films and totally ignore the pearls that may appear in the form of short films. In fact, taking the story shortly after where the feature ends, this movie gives an idea of how Riley's parents reacted to her first date.

Personally, I found the movie too short, had material for further development (at most about eight to ten minutes). The characters are already known to those who saw the movie in the cinema. Of all, the ones that get the most attention are Riley's dad and the boy she's going out with ... and what a boy! That boy really needs to get his ideas in order! It is a short story, but well made, well thought out and with very well imagined dialogues.

From a technical point of view, the film is impeccable, as expected from a Pixar movie: vibrant colors, good brightness, great attention to small details, beautifully done designs and a very realistic, smooth stroke. Although the soundtrack is not the strong dish here (as it had not been in the feature film), there is some attention here for this field.
