Feast is an irresistible short animation that accompanied Big Hero 6 in cinemas in 2014. It is a short and simple story of a little Puppy's introduction into the world of food. Saved from the streets by his eventual owner, our Pup is tempted away with a chip, which leads to kibble and eventually leads to a whole feast of different foods. There is nothing quite as glorious as watching a hungry Puppy devouring his meal and loving every mouthful. The film changes pace once we realise that the Pup's owner suddenly finds love, and once his lady-friend moves in, the food goes back to being healthy and Dog-like. Happily things go back to normal when his owner splits from his love and the treats soon start coming again but at what cost. Our little Pup has to decide a life of endless treats or the happiness of the owner that saved him. It is beautifully animated, well written and utterly adorable.
