Out

Maybe, not very convincing. But amusing and real sweet. Beautiful drawings, soft story, not so surprising end, a fist of cliches and a bit of propaganda. But just nice because it has the gift to use , in smart - gentle way, cliches , crumbs of ordinary stories from near reality, few good spoons of humor and create the fair atmosphere. And whole of that can be real useful in some occasions, in few moments not very happy.

Am a massive fan of animation and of Disney and Pixar, ever since childhood on all three counts. Saw 2020's 'Out' on Disney Plus (invaluable in recent monhs) to see something different and to further broaden my animation horizons, also because Disney and Pixar have done many fantastic short films overtime. 'Out' is notable too for being the first LGBTQ Disney and Pixar short that has a gay main character and storyline, which immediately won a lot of admiration from me.

'Out' may not be one of their very best, but it is one of their most interesting and it is a wonderfully done and immensely charming effort in its own right that should have universal appeal. It was wonderful to have this story and it was a bold move done with a lot of tact. Absolutely do not agree that it was shoved down the throat and actually think that it was about time that a short film like 'Out' to be made, and there shouldn't be any problem with suitability for younger audiences. There should be no age limit on when the subject matter is introduced, and doing so when young may reduce likelihood of bullying.

The story is a slight one and may not have the extra magic of the best Disney and Pixar short films.

However, the animation is absolutely beautiful. Especially the vibrant colours. The soundtrack is beautifully chosen and both catchy and lovely to listen to. "Pink and Purple" is a song so good that it's worth repeat value on Spotify. 'Out' is very honestly written and has a lot of heart, while also having some very winning silly humour that ranges from very amusing to hilarious.

Furthermore, the story charmed and touched me and the messages of acceptance hit home, the same will apply for somebody who has ever or still is struggling and striving for acceptance and upset at not being treated like an equal. The case with me in school. The messaging is very relevant today, the most relevant it's ever been perhaps, and it is not hammered home. The characters are endearing and any stereotyping is done in good taste, which was a relief after seeing my fair share of less than tasteful stereotypes.

In conclusion, wonderful, refreshing and highly recommended, perhaps even important. Such a shame that it has been criminally underseen, even on such a popular platform. Definitely something that will be embraced by anybody who has ever had or is having acceptance issues and by such a sorely misunderstood and unfairly discriminated against community. If this sounds patronising, that's not intended to be the case but when one feels strongly about something like this it needs to be articulated. 9/10.

I am so happy that Disney made this short!! It is soo important to see this representation and beautiful message of love and acceptance!

I thought the animation style was good. The overall story was about average. The part where the human and the dog switched was different but it wasn't something I was crazy about. Characters and character development was really good and well done. This is an lgbt short film. It not very long. Anyone no matter the age would be able to watch this short film. This is very family friendly.

Is incredible to see Pixar and Disney embrassing this movie in a way that make us melt and fall in love for the story. The message emplicite in this movie is more important that u can imagine and without any doubt one gigantic raimbow over to the Disney/Pixar history.
