It's short but straight to the point.Loved how they set the graphics.I really enjoyed it, it's a great simple idea.It was entertaining and educational in a way.If you have an idea about how Pixel's movies are then you'd know what I'm talking about.Well if you fancy something light and funny to watch then this it.It all depends on what you are looking for, it's really short but interesting as well. Worth watching though.

As we all know, babies of all types are delivered by storks, which collect them from their point of creation (in the clouds) and carry them in bundles to the ground. Of course you have you r cute creatures like puppies and kittens, but one stork works with a slightly less fun cloud where the creatures tend to be of a more "jagged" nature. Over time the working conditions that the stork has to endure appears to put a strain of the working relationship.This short preceded Up in the cinemas and continues Pixar's tradition of having a supporting short film for their releases (a tradition that I'm all in favour of and still maintain that more "live action" releases should do it too). This slot has seen some very good animated short films and it must be said that Partly Cloudy is not really one of the better ones that they have done. Of course, as with nearly all things Pixar, one of their outputs being slightly below their normal standard still means that it is very good by normal standards, and so it is with Partly Cloudy.In terms of content it is a relatively straightforward short with physical comedy providing all of the four or five laughs it has. This is not a complaint though because it is only a short film and as such it does do the job of being amusing by delivering these solid laughs in a short time. Of greater note that the specific laughs is the concept itself. The stork aspect is an old one but the whole idea is well brought to life by the design and the animation and it was this spirit of invention and creativity behind the laughs that I enjoyed.Not Pixar's strongest moment in terms of their feature-supporting short films and a bit simple in terms of substance but the design and concept is imaginative and generally it is still funny and enjoyable with physical comedy sight gags.

Party Cloudy is another in the always enjoyable short subjects that come on before the main feature of Pixar's cannon. It's a welcome treat since it's a throwback to the days in movies when it was a given to get at least one cartoon, if not more plus a newsreel, before the movie started. In this case Partly Cloudy looks in its first few moments like it will be a riff on that Looney Tunes cartoon where the drunken stork drops the wrong baby to the expecting Sylvester and mother. Instead we're treated to a series of gags involving, yes, clouds that are responsible for creating all life, all bundled up in little blankets and sent on the merry way, only to find some hazard with an untalented cloud that keeps creating dangerous things (i.e. porcupine, shark) for the bewildered stork.This was all fine and cute and had a couple of chuckles (some big laughs from the kids, more or less, it was hard to pay too much attention since, thankfully, the audience was not too hyped up or annoying). But, there is something of note that should be taken: you may need to explain, after Partly Cloudy and Up, where babies come from to your kids if in case they don't really know yet or aren't too clear (or, you know, you're one of *those* parents that keep it all in the dark for like religious reasons or just too uncomfortable). What I mean to say is that the first short perpetuates the ol' stork-bringing-the-baby story. This may be eons old and no kid buys it and maybe info on the internet gets the kids knowing at younger ages - but then in Up, in the montage showing the life of Carl and Ellie Frederickson, we find out, clearly, about Carl and Ellies' inability to have children.So, just so you parents know, be prepared to a) let your kids know, definitively, that the stork stuff is BS, period, no questions asked (unless if your kid is just dumb enough to believe it), and b) be prepared for MORE questions from the similar subject, if it comes up at all, from Up... Perhaps though I've gone off on a tangent here; suffice to say Partly Cloudy is neither the best (it's not as good as the magician short that came with WALL-E last year) nor the worst (it's not forgettable like that bah sheep short with the Incredibles). It's fluffy and light, and hopefully it wont incur too many questions from your kids, such as "Why can't the stork help out Carl and Ellie?" Actually, at that point, they're on their own.

Once again, Pixar has accompanied one of its wonderful features (in this case, UP), with a short subject. And the short subject, PARTLY CLOUDY, plays like a variation on Bob Clampett's classic cartoon, BABY BOTTLENECK, although without Porky or Daffy.Like all of Pixar's shorts, this is a virtual silent picture, with just enough sound effects to keep it going. It concerns where babies come from before the storks deliver them: from clouds, it turns out, who shape them from their own material. For this one we get to follow the cloud and stork who produce not fluffy kittens, but other, more dangerous critters, like crocodiles and porcupines.I do have some slight issues with how clouds are rendered -- a bit more solid and cotton-batting-like than I would think, but this is a lovely little pleasure for the viewer.
