Undescribable Perfection
Please don't spend money on this.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This animated short film tells the story of Rex who accidentally messes up his friend's party. He gets called "Party Pooper Rex" soon afterwards. Hence, he decides to become "Partysaurus Rex".The story is very simple, but it is really fun. The music is energetic and uplifting, the lights are psychedelic and there is even foam! The bathtub party is so epic that I wish I was there. Now I need to watch a film about epic parties of mega proportions!
"Toy Story" has recently spawned several short films and I have enjoyed them all. While "Partysaurus Rex" is gorgeously animated (probably better than the previous ones), the story is paper-thin. This is not to say it's not enjoyable--but it certainly is not a must-see.The film, not surprisingly, is about Rex. He's one of many toys that Bonnie loves to play with in the tub. And, after Bonnie leaves, the toys all come to life and party. And, the leader of this group of toys is Rex.The biggest worry in this little film? How will Rex turn off the water so the place isn't flooded! Not much of a conflict. But the characters are cute, the CGI is great and kids will no doubt love it. For adults, however, it's just a trifle.
Partysaurus Rex is a 3D Toy Story short which precedes the 3D reworking of Finding Nemo. In it, the chronically anxious plastic dinosaur Rex (voiced by Wallace Shawn), dismissed as a party pooper by those toys who have known him for ever, accidentally finds himself transformed into a party animal by the bathtime toys. Colourful chaos ensues.Much as I love Pixar and the Toy Story franchise, this is particularly slight stuff. There is little story, the gags are OK but not great, and the 3D is not wonderful. Don't get me wrong: it's OK - it's very bright and colourful and, as expected, great to look at - but the Toy Story people have done much better.
So it seems that when Rex is with his regular Toy Story pals, he's often dismissed as a party pooper. So when his little girl new owner has to take a bath, she takes the dinosaur toy with her and he suddenly takes a new attitude. I'll stop there and just say this was quite another fun short from Pixar that brought a new take on one of the classic Toy Story characters which Rex's voice Wallace Shawn benefits from immensely. Certainly, those new bath toy friends certainly like him enough when he keeps the water flowing. Like just when things seem headed for something one way, an unexpected turn always comes. Really, all I'll say now is Partysaurus Rex was a fine short to watch before the 3-D re-release of Finding Nemo.
