402 #16 - Sparkshorts: Float

Float is a Pixar Sparkshort released in 2019. The short focuses on a father after he discovers his son can float at will and his attempts at hiding him from everyone.

I love the animation of the kid floating, as understanding the physics of floating (such as in water) can be extremely difficult to pull off correctly. This is done especially well when the father attempts to force the kid to stay on the ground with weights and when the kid begins drifting around the house and pushing himself off various furniture. I also loved the attention to detail of the hair reacting to the kid's floating ability while the clothes only react to his actual motion.


The lighting within the house was rather underlit, perhaps intending to be visually metaphorical, but it actually ended up being too dark to really see, which was rather irritating.
