Feast (Trailer) - [Disney Animated Short, 2014]

Feast is a 2014 3D hand-drawn/computer-animated romantic comedy short film directed by Patrick Osborne, and produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It made its world premiere on June 10, 2014, at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and debuted in theaters with Big Hero 6on November 7, 2014.^[2]

Plot

Winston is a Boston Terrier^[3] that loves to eat. His master James spoils him with various junk food and leftovers topped over his dog food. One day, James develops a relationship with a waitress at the local restaurant, who has him take up a healthier diet and lifestyle. This upsets Winston, since he refuses to eat vegetables. When the couple break up, James and Winston return to eating junk food until Winston realizes James' depression over the break-up, with a piece of parsley as his only reminder. Winston grabs the parsley and rushes out of the apartment, leading James to the restaurant to reconcile with his girlfriend and marry her.

Over a year after moving to a new home, Winston spots a meatball on the floor and follows the trail to the couple's infant son. The film ends with Winston feasting on dozens of cupcakes thrown off a table during the son's first birthday party.

Animation and style

Feast was animated using the Meander system developed for Paperman, and was the first time the tool was used in color.^[6][8] Feast was rendered using Hyperion, the rendering system built for Big Hero 6.^[8][9]

The characters and environment feature a line-free style with solid blocks of color.^[10] The camera focused on Winston and the food while leaving the human characters generally out of focus. Because the film consists of a series of very brief scenes cut together, the foods portrayed had to be appetizing and recognizable at first glance.^[11]

Winston was made a Boston Terrier for three main reasons. The filmmakers wanted a breed that does not appear in any prior Disney film. The breed is small so that he can be shown being promoted to a chair at the table and demoted back to the floor. Because of the flat style of the film, a breed with distinct markings like the Boston Terrier helps cue the audience to subtle movements.^[8]

New Anime in Japan Update (May 7, 2006)

[from: themanime.org] 

[...] Go Nagai? Though he's largely known for the very popular anime adaptations of his super robot manga, including such Boomer generation staples as Mazinger Z and Getter Robo, he first gained notoriety with a late Sixties shounen comic called Shameless School. Some of the tropes we often see in ecchi titles originate from that manga, and at the time, it was a breath of fresh air. It was also a satire of Japan's "culture of shame," and to get an idea of how successful it was, the series so infuriated parents and teachers that it started a well-publicized feud between Nagai and the PTA that culminated in Nagai ending the manga with a story arc about the school's all out war... with a parody of the PTA.
Read today, the manga doesn't seem worth the fuss. The nudity is cute, not lascivious, and a sense of mischief makes even the most perverse pranks seem casual and harmless. But at the time, it redefined where the boundaries were for manga, and made room for new stories. Nagai would later go on to draw defining works in other genres, but he always loved wacky, perverse mischief, and used it often in his comics. Shortly after Shameless School's successful run, he wrote another comedy, one that combined perverse satire with the heroism of his super robot comics: Enma-kun. And now, some forty years later, here comes studio Brains Base with an adaptation of Enma-kun. It's not a faithful adaptation- it's clearly an update on the source material that doubles as an homage to Nagai and Japanese children's entertainment in the Seventies. Which sounds dull and insular, but Brains Base goes one step further in flattering the Nagai legacy by imitating not just its battiness, but its edginess. And in 2011, that makes it a libertine comedy that's starkly different and a damned sight funnier and fresher than B Gata H Kei or MM. And perhaps that's the key thing that sets Dororon Enma-kun Meerameera apart from any other anime comedy released in the last few years, ecchi or otherwise: it knows its history.
But I risk putting Enma-kun in a very small box that it doesn't deserve by just talking about its ecchi aspect. It runs the gamut of comedy- Japanese puns that are indecipherable to an English speaking audience, satire, snark, meta-humor, well-timed sarcasm, and the occasional toilet joke all mix together in a roiling melting pot that also includes some romance, action and hot-blooded heroism. The humor isn't particularly sophisticated or clever- it's not so much a sharp sword as a broad hammar, and if one thing doesn't getch ya, something else will- but it works through a combination of creativity, and a good use of escalation. The latter is something Enma-kun is particularly good at: it isn't very funny when a goblin makes a pun on his nose, for example, but when he keeps doing it and doing it in increasingly absurd ways for an entire episode, it gets there. In fact, the entire plot of Enma-kun is a great example of escalation, starting with small-time demons threatening a school and ending with the world's greatest orgasm threatening mankind's existence.
And did I tell you about the demons? The demons are fabulous, their design all inspired by Japan's rich yokai mythology but primarily comedic. The series relies on the classic "Monster of the Week" formula- which it enjoys messing with sometimes- and for that to succeed, you need good villains. Most of the monsters are silly takes on some staples from Japanese mythology, though some of them seem to be entirely the product of Nagai's fertile creative mind. In keeping with the series' spirit of silliness, the demons rely on some pretty silly curses, like a "rolling" demon who makes people so fat that they can only move by rolling like an oversized basketball, or a "slippery" demon who makes our heroes take constant, humiliating pratfalls by cursing their feet to find no friction on the ground [...].

Dororon Enma-kun (ドロロンえん魔くん Dororon Enma-kun), also known as Satanikus!, is a Japanese horror-comedy anime and manga series created byGo Nagai. It's one of Nagai's most famous works in Japan, although not very well known in the rest of the world. In 2006, it would get a sequel/remake inDemon Prince Enma, which drops the comedy and becomes a full-fledgedsuspense-horror series. After the OVA was released, another manga version was released called Satanikus ENMA Kerberos by Eiji Toriyama. A remake entitled Dororon Enma-kun MeeraMera began airing in Japan in April 2011.
