Piper (2016)
9/10
Piping up.
5 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
After watching the superb Finding Dory,I decided to look at the extras.Expecting to just find a commentary,I was pleased to find a bonus short,which led to me piping down and watching the short.

The plot:

Going to get food with her mother,Piper gets caught in the tide of the ocean and becomes lost at sea.Finding some solid ground,Piper looks round and finds no sign of her mum anywhere. Relying on her mum for everything,Piper realises that she now must fend for herself.

View on the film:

Not featuring a single line of dialogue,writer/director Alan Barillaro makes each image worth 1000 lines of dialogue with exquisite animation. Keeping the Comedy to an earthy level, Alan Barillaro sends Piper flying who startling photo-realistic designs of endless sea and wet sand which Piper has to dig into in order to survive.Shown as the short before Dory,the screenplay by Alan Barillaro perfectly complements the main feature,as each subtle move of Piper's feathers captures the self-discovery Piper flies off to make.
