How odd

This was the short film released before the screening of "Cars 3". It really is a very strange short film as it features a lost and found box and a creature that lives within it. What I don't understand is what this creature even is. I mean, it seems to just be a random combination of lost items. At the end however, we see all the parts of the creature being played with. So was it some single entity possessing these parts? It was so strange. Still, this was a great cartoon. "Cars 3" was a decent movie, but this little cartoon is better.

I really appreciate how unique the idea is. It makes you think about what goes on in a lost and found box. This short features a bully who takes other kids' stuff because he misses his own toy that got taken from him. The lost and found things then come alive and convince him to return them. Okay, it's kind of a goofy premise, but the execution is great. We get some very creative visuals with the lost and found creature and everything works out for all the kids in the end. There's no dialogue which further demonstrates how visually nice it is. It's quite strange, but it's still a very entertaining little short. ***1/2
