Charming Pixar short about a baby bird that has to overcome its fears to learn to find food for itself. It's a very simple story but the simple stories are often the best ones. The animation is some of the most beautifully detailed I've seen from Pixar yet. The music is nice and cheery. It's really just a lovely, pleasant little cartoon that I can't imagine anyone but the grouchiest among us finding fault with.
