Whenever a new Disney movie releases into theaters I am always one of the first in line to buy my ticket. The great thing about Disney movies is no matter what your age you will take something away from the film. I really look forward to new Disney movies not only for the feature film itself but also the animated short that comes before every movie. Disney’s Big Hero 6 features one of the best animated shorts yet. I know that I say this every time but I really think that they outdid their selves with the Disney Animated Short Feast.
Feast is a romantic/comedy animated short film featuring the lovable Winston, a Boston Terrior that LOVES to eat! Feast is directed by Patrick Osborne, and produced by Kristina Reed. The centers around Winston and his master James who spoils him with various junk food which is every dog’s dream. He gets meatballs, pizza, nacho’s, you name it. His life is perfect. Then one day things turn a little strange when  instead of his favorite fried foods he gets feed a plate full of vegetables. Without giving the story away I will tell you that this short film will tug at your heartstrings. It’s amazing to me that Disney can create this whole story in just a few minutes.
