Latest Disney Short ‘Feast’ Combines Foodie Life and Dogs
As perfect as 2007’s Ratatouille was for food lovers and Disney fans, we understand if it’s a little hard to root for a rat cooking in your kitchen, touching your gourmet French foods. But a food movie about a dog? That we can totally get behind.
From the folks who did Paperman — that adorable black and white short about paper airplanes — Feast is an upcoming Disney short which aims to combine most of what the internet loves into one 6-minute cartoon: animals, food, romance, and a heart-wrenching, time-jumping montage à la the beginning of Up.
According to Variety, Feast tells a “human romance from the p.o.v. of the couple’s pet dog, a Boston Terrier named Winston,” imagined in the frame of “whatever Winston happened to be eating” at the time. Based on Variety’s description, this translates to junk food during his master’s bachelor days, Brussels sprouts when he starts dating a hippie chick, and eventually a whole restaurant filled with steak, spaghetti, and ice cream, presumably when the guy finally finds “the one.”
First premiered Tuesday at the Annecy Intl. Film Festival, Feast is set to screen ahead of Disney’s upcoming full-length feature Big Hero Six, in theaters November 7.
