A short that is both irrepressibly adorable and true to how these creatures move in real life, Piper follows a little bird as he/she (does that matter?) tries to get a little piece of clam that its mommy leaves for it on a beach. But the tide might come and sweep the bird away or back into looking like a messed-up little thing. It's an inspiring story that shows kids that if there's a little perseverance through the harsh waters that you can come out with something you didn't expect to get. Like many of Pixar's shorts it has a lot more depth than can be expected in a short running time, and the unique aspect to this is how the birds and ocean moves so closely as to how in life that it's only incredible that it wasn't done via digital-rendering on actual birds and clams and crabs and so on. And on top of everything else it's fitting to pair this with Finding Dory, which is all about taking on the odds against you to do what isn't expected - or, to put it another way, going past the limits of what is possible naturally.

A sandpiper hatches and expects mummy to feed him, but that is not what Nature intended for this little bird, and he has to learn to feed on his own from the seashore. He is just so scared.

Piper, short for sandpiper, is one of the cutest short films ever. This is Pixar in its full splendor regarding the quality and polish of the animation, character creation and the way the story is presented. Most importantly, this is clean humour that speaks to adults, children, and people from all cultural backgrounds, anywhere in the world.

Piper is a slice of bird life, presented both with great realism and accuracy regarding pipers behavior in Nature, but transcends the purely observational by infusing Piper with a reminder of how exciting the world looks and feels when you are a toddler or a puppy. That sort of energy is perfectly captured in the film. Piper speaks, basically, of the magic of discovering the world for the first time.

Piper character is beautifully drawn and textured, cutest as cute can be, tender, innocent and naughty at the same time. Hugely huggable.

Not an inventive story or narrative, just it does what it intends to do to perfection.

This short was visually stunning and I fell in love with the little sand piper as soon as I saw it. I could watch 90 minutes of nothing but his adventures and be perfectly content

Not just that, but perhaps the best Pixar short film since 'Presto'(which accompanied 'WALL'E' back in 2008, and this reviewer has enjoyed to loved all the Pixar short films) and even better than the still very enjoyable 'Finding Dory'.

The animation is rich in gorgeous, vibrant colour and even richer in meticulous in detail, the titular character is both cute and impressively real. One of the most visually detailed and real of all the recent Pixar short films. Also splendid is the music score, which enhances every scene and action and sears powerfully in emotion without resorting to use of a repetitive song or something.

Pixar excels better than most companies in combining humour and pathos, not only achieving an ideal balance of the two executing both beautifully. 'Piper' to me is the most successful of the Pixar shorts since 'Presto' at all three. The humour is light and is not the constant laugh-a-minute type, but what there is is subtle and genuinely funny.

Where 'Piper' is more successful is with the emotional elements, with it being one of Pixar's most legitimately poignant, the emotional impact is present throughout and tears, whether it's just wet eyes or proper bawling, are most likely guaranteed. Also don't think there's been a cuter Pixar short, with one of the company's most adorable and relatable titular characters, or a more inspiring one with a beautiful identifiable message delivered with surprising subtlety.

Overall, truly mesmerising. Forgot that it was a 6 minute short film and thought I was watching a piece of art. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I am 55 yrs old and loved Finding Nemo and could not wait to see Finding Dory. I went today with a friend and after watching Piper I turned to my friend and told her even if Finding Dory was not great, Piper was worth the price of admission LOVED IT. (Finding Dory was good also but could not get Piper out of my head. Came home and looked it up on my computer and was excited to see a little teaser (as they called it) and teaser is correct cause it took you right up to the start of the adventure. Dang it I wanted to see it again. Whoever and however they did this animation needs to do some more of this, shoot I could have watched a how movie on Piper. Okay I know it is a short movie but could you throw in another teaser trailer. :-)

Shown just before Finding Dory, this short is about a young bird on the beach who's a little afraid of the waves when they move quickly especially when it's trying to get something. Everything in this one looks so lifelike, for a while, I didn't think it was computer animated at all! Both funny and a little touching, the minutes seem to go by pretty quickly by the time it ends. Such a natural feel looking at all those birds' movements not to mention the ocean when it movies to and fro most of the time. The 3-D glasses I viewed this with may have been a plus, I don't know. Certainly, I was riveted throughout this short. Really, all I'll say now is Piper is another worthy Pixar short.

Piper has beautiful detailed animation. The CGI is breathtaking and something only Disney/Pixar could come up with.

This Oscar winning charming animation has a moral that a little perseverance goes a long way.

Piper is a baby bird who needs to learn to feed with the other birds on the beach but the incoming wave that hits him makes him afraid to go back into the beach.

Piper gradually learns about the beauty of the ocean and it is nothing to fear.

Charming Pixar short about a baby bird that has to overcome its fears to learn to find food for itself. It's a very simple story but the simple stories are often the best ones. The animation is some of the most beautifully detailed I've seen from Pixar yet. The music is nice and cheery. It's really just a lovely, pleasant little cartoon that I can't imagine anyone but the grouchiest among us finding fault with.

I saw this short in the theatres right before they played Finding Dory. In short, it was perfect. An adorable little piper learns how to forage for food and has to overcome its fears in the process. This short teaches the importance of perseverance and how sometimes you just have to be a little creative with the solutions to life's problems. It definitely preps the heartstrings for what is to come in Finding Dory... and cuteness factor aside, the animation is beautifully done. The water and feather detail on the birds are gorgeous just from an animation perspective. Really well done, and perfect with Finding Dory. I'd love to see Piper have his/her own film, to be honest. I would definitely pay to see the Adventures of Piper.

I always forget when I go to see a Pixar film to review the little film that precedes the main feature. Not this time! 'Piper' is short, sweet, and leaves you thinking.

The animation is beautifully done and there's a lovely soundtrack to accompany it. I think since WALL-E Pixar have really taken confidence from the fact that they can do so much without words. Maybe in the future they'll do another pretty much silent film.

I think it's very easy to just see these mini films before the main feature and forget them. But on this occasion to beautiful simple storytelling meant that I could not forget to spread the word about this film.

Piper is a great animated short film with a well structured story and pitch perfect animation. It is very sweet, as we follow a baby bird struggling to get food on the shore of a beach, it is at times a little heartbreaking, making the end all the more rewarding.

On the other hand, it has little replay value. Many of Pixar's shorts are worth the watch again and again for me, such as For the Birds and Partly Cloudy, but Piper is not funny or unique enough to stand out like they do.

The animation is the star of this short, the movement of the birds, the beach, the water, is all stunning, almost life like, it is amazing how much detail the studio puts in to their work, even with shorts. While it may be forgettable, Piper is fun while it lasts and its worth the watch, which you will get to see before Finding Dory.

A young bird must learn to fend for himself and struggles for survival.

The folks at Pixar have a great eye for detail and the reproduction of the animal world (any world for that matter). While the story is almost overly cute, the little guy that is at the center is amazingly crafted and presented. He is receiving his little bird education as his mother moves him slowly through the steps he must follow to lead an adult life. Lovely.

The little piper is not just adorable but the way the makers of piper captured the beauty of motherhood,, survival, nature and adventure in just 6 min is pure brilliance.

The film is told with no words and is the story of a very timid baby piper. The best thing about this film is the character design. The baby piper is adorable and is a great combination of a more realistic sort of CG with a slightly cartoon character. Both funny and touching, the minutes seem to go by pretty quickly by the time it ends.

However, this story line is a little difficult for children. It is not easy to understand the process of getting shells.

'PIPER': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

A 6-minute Pixar animated short film, that played in theaters before 'FINDING DORY', and it was also nominated for a 2017 Academy Award. This one is about a baby sandpiper, trying to deal with hydrophobia. It was directed by Alan Barillaro, and (like many Pixar shorts) the film contains no dialogue. The visuals are beautiful, and the sandpipers (in the short) seem to behave just like (I'd imagine) real sandpipers do. I love animals, so the story (and imagery) is really touching to me. The first time I saw it, I was actually in the wrong mood, or something, and I wasn't nearly as impressed with it as when I saw it again recently. It's another amazingly beautiful little Pixar film, and I think if you love animals, you'll probably adore it!

The most wholesome and realistic animated short by Pixar. Piper sprouts joy and happiness in a mere 6 minutes short. A tale of overcome fear with knowledge, sharing with our loved ones and ultimately use our newfound talent at the fullest to make our loved ones proud.

The most realistic animated movie I've ever seen. In 2016, Pixar animation technology reached almost the real world!!

Wow! I'm so impressed.

It combines animal life - a mother sandpiper refusing to feed her baby and pushing it towards the sea to begin feeding itself, and the baby's attempt to overcome its fear of water - with the help of some hermit crabs to make an under five minute delight of a short film. As usual with Pixar, the CGI helps an already compelling story, rather than take the place of it. The animals do not speak. The story is "told" through the expression of the animals and their actions. What a delight. The baby sandpiper is very expressive as it deals with the parameters of its new world and its own fears. The entire thing is just the definition of cute.

Just look at the Pixar short "Knick Knack" from 1989 and see how far animation has come in 27 years.

a spring day short film. all is seductive - the animation, the story, the humor and crumbs and drama and the inspired eulogy to life. short, the Oscar seems be a certitude for it. and not surprising because Pixar is the studio of challenges and "Piper" is a good example. so seductive than you see twice. at least. for its beauty, off course. but, in same measure, to rediscover the flavor, colors and emotions from other pieces of Pixar universe. and this did this short film lovely movie. for the small facts in new light. for to be the nice show for entire family. for the precious moral lesson. and, sure, for the soft air and the sound of the ocean and air as delicate embroidery.

A mother is trying to teach her young bird how to dig for clams on the beach in between the waves rolling onshore. After getting drenched, the little bird fears going back until it follows a family of hermit crabs. The little bird discovers a new and better way to hunt for clams.

There is no doubt that the CGI animation is top of the line coming from Pixar. The water, the colors, the birds, and the background are all drawn with detail and beauty. The story is also fun considering its short length. I actually laughed out loud when the little bird gets soaking wet. That's very rare for a short. It continues to be fun and compelling all the way to the end. The Oscar win is great.
