Day & Night

I have always liked or loved Pixar's films, and I thought now was a good time to revisit their short films. And I am so glad I did. Day and Night(which I did remember as the short before Toy Story 3) is a gem, even if I would personally put the likes of Presto, Knick Knack, One Man Band and Geri's Game over it. The animation is beautiful with some unique shades and colouring and the detailed backgrounds you would expect, and the music is great with the use of Rossini's William Tell. The story, if not as clear as other Pixar short films, tells so much in 6 minutes and has a thought-provoking message(however different we may be, we are all one and the same) to it of the dangers of racism and tolerance. The humour even without dialogue is smart and somewhat edgy, which I liked. The personifications of daytime and nighttime are very well done and easy to root for, I loved the end especially where night and day became twilight. Overall, if you love Pixar, you'll love this. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Two little blobby characters, representing day and night, confront each other. They examine what each has to offer and it brings about fear. Of course, since we see things primarily from our perspective, it is significant (since they are portrayed as if they were human) that they hold close to their own protective nature. All in all, this is a "nice" film and nothing more. After watching so many shorts that have a significant message, this is sort of forgettable. It is certainly visually striking.

Really well-made film. From the animation style, I guess it's strictly for kids, although everyone can enjoy it. The unique colour combinations make it very interesting. It's very original, and that's the best thing of all. But it's a kind of short which I appreciate but can't say I loved. Probably because it didn't make me feel anything, nor it's funny.

This delivers everything we expect from a Pixar short. It's clever, funny, interesting, with solid sound work, great music and the animation is amazing. The lighting and use of color are incredible, and crucial to making the concept work. This is quite creative. Basically night and day are actual living beings that grow jealous of each other's experiences. This leads to a conflict.

There is not a single word spoken here. Every time something needs to be expressed, it's either only visually or there is the sound of something that is happening during one of these two time periods, corresponding to what we're seeing and how they feel about it. I love the idea of introducing children to, for the mainstream, such unusual storytelling. Recommended. 8/10.

There are two men, one's body is day and another 's body is night. First, Day finds Night. He is night, so he sleeps very well. Day prevents Night from sleeping. Night gets angry for Day, so they fight with. However, Night found that each other's body shows different scene. Therefore, they enjoy watching various scenes, for example building's illumination, watching movie, which is road show, flying show, fire works and woman bathing swimsuit. At last, the next day comes.

I think that two men were very cute. First, they fought with, but they found good point of each other and enjoyed watching scenes as if they are children. They embraced each other halfway, because they wanted to watch rising sun. This scene made me happy and I smiled. I think that director's idea, which movie's scene is black to show pictures by using two men is rare. This movie has much humor and child's mind.
