Synopsis

When an overconfident teen alien gets behind the controls of a spaceship, he must attempt to abduct a slumbering farmer under the watchful eye of a critical instructor. But abducting humans requires precision and a gentle touch, and within a few missteps it's painfully clear why more humans don't go missing every year.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
faiij This film is about a newbie alien which tries to abduct a human who is sleeping into the UFO. However, he found it really hard since he is struggling to control the switches. This movie's plot is really simple but the film itself is able to narrate it in really cute and interesting way. There are so much to talk about this film. First off, the sound effect of this makes this film more interesting and play such a critical role in expressing the tone of the film. Of course, the sound effects in animation tend to be more exaggerated but this film manage to use the sound effects to enhance the joke of character's action really well and in a good timing. The facial expressions and visual story telling are so easy to understand the character's feeling and what is going on in the movie that make the audience want to keep up with the movie and support a teenage alien because of its cuteness and clumsiness. If you like comedy animation with very cute characters, I definitely you guys watching this short film.
qingruivic-25161 I cannot describe how much I am amused by this short film. Also, this film gives me a practical lesson how up and down are properly arranged for optimum effects. A young alien, who seems like a freshman, tries to practice abducting human by the spaceship technology under the supervision of a predecessor, which is not going smoothly at all. Many funny moments are brought by the continuous failure. For instance, after a sequence of struggling, he gets impatient and flicks switches randomly on the spacecraft control panel, causing the sleeping man to crash into walls, ceilings, trees... Finally he gets the man out of window, but he dropped the man again. Then the up comes. His predecessor steps in, fixing everything in house in order and putting the human back to bed. Instead of taking over the control of panel, the predecessor gives him another chance. The young freshman manages to drop the whole spaceship on the human's house, before flying off. The scream from the abductee in the end gives me a last surprise, which is the point of this film I especially like.Pixar short films are well known by the way it handles characters. The protagonist's expressive face and his predecessor's poker face intensify the amusement in a contrary way. Lifted is a great film for laughter, but it might fail in building vivid characters. After finish watching the film, audiences should have had emotional connection to the character, but audiences of Lifted might rarely think about the background or off-scene stories of either the clumsy freshman or the skilled predecessor. They are just there for entertainment.
aggelostenshimanga "Lifted" is a short about aliens trying to abduct someone but failing over and over due to the complicated ship controls. It started of funny, but the joke got old quickly for me, and I liked the 'cold' alien boss more than the goofy alien protagonist that i was supposed to like. The ending joke was also quite predictable. Great animation, as expected, that might make it worth the watch anyway, but in my opinion, one does not miss much by not watching this short.
Jirorian Telling of an apprentice alien in the craft of human abduction struggling with the overwhelming control panel in front of him, 'Lifted' is a goofy story that everyone can relate to in our attempts to overcome the pressures of work, the mountains of tasks that lay endlessly before us with no obvious means of easily being solved, and the indifferent looks from our bosses as we struggle to find redemption over our clearly insufficient efforts. It is an ode to the common man, the daily grind, and the efforts one makes to prove oneself. The stylistic visuals and comedy is as expected of Pixar, and everyone will surely get a laugh or two out of their viewing of the short film.
