The point of the Academy Award-nominated "Lou" seems to be that we all have good in our hearts, we sometimes just need motivation to find it. I do agree that motivation and reminding someone of goodness works better than punishment. Not any kind of masterpiece, but worth seeing.
Pixar Studios has won a lot of Oscars over the years--many of them for Best Animated Short. "LOU" is their latest nomination and is a very pleasant little film. However, it's NOT among the studio's best shorts and is relatively pedestrian....but I still think it will win this year...mostly because the other nominees are a very weak bunch. As I noticed one other reviewer say in their summary, "Yet another win for Pixar animation"!
The film is hard to describe. It's set on a playground at a school and somehow a pile of lost and found objects have become sentient and take on a weird form. Later, they teach a bully a lesson.
The film, start to finish, looks great. This is no surprise at all as the best animated films in the world are coming from Pixar and Disney Studios. While I liked it and respect the quality of the production, it also seemed very safe and not particularly inspiring or out of the ordinary.

One boy was so selfish and greedy. He wants to get everything and he took many goods from box of Lost and found.
But one day he learned to share things with people so he gave back goods to other students. This movie teaches us the importance of sharing things with people and that made people happy.
I love this movie.
Congrats to Pixer, one more time.

'LOU': Four Stars (Out of Five)
A 6-minute Pixar animated short film, which plays before 'CARS 3' in theaters, about a monster that lives inside a lost-and-found box. The short was written and directed by debut filmmaker Dave Mullins; a veteran animator who's previously worked on multiple feature Pixar films (including 'CARS' and 'CARS 2'). The short, like everything from Pixar, is of course visually beautiful to watch, at all times. It's also funny, creative and it even has a great message about not bullying others (at the end). It has pretty much everything you've come to expect from a Pixar short film. This one isn't quite as emotional as my favorite Pixar shorts are though, even though it touches on a subject very close to me (bullying). Which I've had to deal with all of my life, including adulthood. Still it's always visually creative and amusing to watch. It's definitely entertaining too, for kids and adults, and it does have a very positive message. The short is yet another win for Pixar animation.

An old fashion moral lesson. so simple than it could be more than convincing. about a bully, a wood box and...something. this simple story has the perfect clothes. because Pixar does more than a good job but a moving one because the sender is the memory of viewer. slices from school period. the bad boy and a precious lesson about respect. a film who does not demonstrate something. or give fun. or define things. only being good opportunity for remind to you yourself. and to define the life out of the sparkles of trends. so, a film like a hot chocolate cup.
