I saw this short in the theatres right before they played Finding Dory. In short, it was perfect. An adorable little piper learns how to forage for food and has to overcome its fears in the process. This short teaches the importance of perseverance and how sometimes you just have to be a little creative with the solutions to life's problems. It definitely preps the heartstrings for what is to come in Finding Dory... and cuteness factor aside, the animation is beautifully done. The water and feather detail on the birds are gorgeous just from an animation perspective. Really well done, and perfect with Finding Dory. I'd love to see Piper have his/her own film, to be honest. I would definitely pay to see the Adventures of Piper.
