Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Wheepuppy In an alternative universe where toys are alive, a snowman dreams about joining the summer party taking place next to him, while it is trapped inside a snowball. The main and almost only motivation after this snowman to get out the snowball and approach the other toys partying is the presence of a skin and wavy blonde doll, with a huge and impressive sunglasses and a brilliant smile which helps her to fit in the perfect and standardized canon of a woman nowadays everyone should desire to be or to date. The short film deals with this subject in a humoristic way, showing the snowman going through different situations in order to finally meet this doll and be with her. But for what concerns me, the jokes are far from being funny or original, the story is simple and quite predictable, what in addition to the motivation under the plot made me unable to enjoy the film. The good part of the short film might be the good animation Pixar Studios never fails to show, the colors and the sound which make the piece audio visually attractive, thus even when there is no dialogue we are able to follow everything that is going on and read the expressions and feelings of the toys on screen when they are not even human nor real.
yla27i First of all, this short film is so cute. The way of drawing characters and the concept are very intimate that almost all of the people will love it. The story is how the snowman can escape from snow dorm.the tries are so funny. he tries to dig a hole in the floor. He also tries to bomb the snow dorm. he does it just for a woman he loves. He never give up even though his part of face mangles and his nose bends. His ideas are so fantastic and unpredictable so I did not feel bored.I was surprised at the ending of the film. Most people including me though he gets out from snow dorm but to be truth he coops up in another new place, fish bowl.I thought it was a bad ending. However, when I saw that a snow man finds his new loving girl, I was confident that it was a nice happy ending. It was interesting because the ending was unexpected and happy ending from another perspective.
coldplayer-57213 This movie is a very simple and short story. The main character is a snowman. He is trapped inside a circle snow dome. So, he attempts to escape from this snow dome by using a variety of toys and to talk to beautiful doll outside of this snow dome. After all, the snowman can escape from this snow dome for a short time and encounter this doll. However, he backs to this snow dome. I think this film is so funny and easy to understand. Background music is also very comical. So, I strongly recommend this movie for everyone.
Prismark10 This is an early example of computer animation from Pixar and some years before their full length feature, Toy Story.John Lasseter directs Knick Knack where we see souvenirs or toys enjoying the sun. Palm trees, deck chairs, there really is a beach party going on.The one person not enjoying the fun is a souvenir from Alaska, a snowman inside a glass dome who is being beckoned by a girl in a bikini. He cannot stand it anymore and tries to break out of the dome but the glass will not break. Can he find an emergency exit door?This is an inventive and energetic short, nowadays the CGI does look a little bit crude, some of the lighting might be too brash but it paved the way for what Lasseter and Pixar were aiming to do a few years later.
