"Sweet Cocoon" is a cute little film that has five directors listed on IMDb (Matéo Bernard, Mathias Bruget, Jonathan Duret, Manon Marco and Quentin Puiraveau). It's also very slight and a film that most people should enjoy, as it's light-hearted and funny. It's told without words and is the story of a caterpillar that is trying to crawl inside its chrysalis but finds it's just too fat for such a small space. So, a couple nice bugs decide to help and much of the films consists of their silly efforts. The ending is dark but made me chuckle. My friend who saw the film with me thought this was predictable--I thought it was clever and funny. The quality of the CGI is quite nice but there's also nothing particularly ground-breaking or transcendent about it-- it's just a nice, well made little film.

This another short coming from the ESMA school of Animation and has the good-quality trademark that most of their students' films show.

The animation is very good, clean, very fluid, nice backgrounds, good lighting and great characters.

To me, the characters and the story make any short film. The caterpillar, the weevil and the cockroach are the only characters here, but they have distinctive personalities, are funny, and are very well animated. The story is simple, probably not original, one of those lessons of nature that we are all sad to know, but that is life. However, the film is very charming and funny.

The film is wordless, just sounds and grunts, but very enjoyable. I think mostly for children.

A caterpillar is trying everything he can to get inside his cocoon. It is about two sizes too small. He uses every ounce of his strength but finally enlists a couple other bugs to help. They use their ingenuity to make it happen. Of course, not all things work out in the end. Check this out.

Kicking off the "highly commended" selection of short films in the Oscar nominated animated short films special of 2015 is the most mediocre film off of this particular lot and the entire lot in general. Sweet Cocoon is a terribly basic and uninspired short film about a caterpillar desperately trying to fit in a cocoon that is too big for him. The caterpillar is assisted by two additional insects to no such avail. The only thing that amounts here is tedium, as the same one-note joke is played out quite heavily, despite only being six minutes long and the monotony becomes overbearing far quicker than it should. Apparently, Sweet Cocoon used the same graphics engine/rendering software as Pixar, as the style mirrors that of A Bug's Life with its rubbery texture, but that certainly can't help terribly basic storytelling for a short that just trudges along for six minutes before falling with a louder than thud than an obese caterpillar.

Directed by: Matéo Bernard, Mathias Bruget, Jonathan Duret, Manon Marco and Quentin Puiraveau.

eulogy of comradely. funny and sweet. and dramatic. wise choice for children about basic values and the need of the other, about beauty and its price. colors, characters, details - all more than beautiful. this beauty is completed by the simplicity of story. amusing, nice, touching, it represents a form of poetry about small beings and wise pledge for solidarity.

This animated short film tells the story of a caterpillar who struggles to get into the cocoon. Two insects decide to help the caterpillar, and they finally succeed in facilitating the caterpillar to undergo metamorphosis.

The story shows that cooperation is the way to succeed, and helping others is a good virtue. It is an enjoyable animation. Just as I thought the animation is very children friendly, the unexpected ending surprised me a lot. I guess children have to learn that things are not always smooth and perfect in the real world.
