It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is a very cute little tale like something you'd see on a PBS children's show or in a kindergarten classroom, only animated brilliantly. The story is humorous and inspiring.There's not much to it really, but look at the animation! That water is perfect... the characters are dynamic and interesting (and do not look like they are off of a static computer model like some more recent animations have been)... even the environmental effects and rain are good. For such a small, rarely focused-on animation, it's a really beautiful project.If you get a chance, listen to the commentary on the Incredibles disc. You'd be surprised how much love and care went into this thing.--PolarisDiB

Boundin' tells a four minute tale of a young, puffy white lamb who wanders freely, is happy and dances through life until one day, he is shorn and shattered. Left out in the rain with nothing but his pink skin he mopes around until a Jackalope (whatever that is) bounces by to convince him that everything is OK.As narrated by the director Bud Luckey in a sort of 6/8 time country and western poem, this short is light, lilting, funny as can be and packs a wonderful message. It is not so much about tolerance as it is about being proud and comfortable about who you are. It is also likely the only animated short ever to use the word Heliotrope.If you have the Incredibles DVD then you have this short. We watch it every time we run through The Incredibles. ***1/2 out of ****.

My Children are in love with this short and so am I. My kids 2 & 4 try to do both the high steppin dance and the bound. They love the characters and gasp with an "oh no" when the truck rumbles up. Then they get sad with the sheep once he is sheared, only to cheer when the Jackalope arrives.I know of no other cartoon that had done all of that in less than 5 minutes for my kids. Finding out that Bud Luckey also did the Aligator King for Sesame Street just makes this short even sweeter.The nerd in me must also comment that the animation is amazing and beautiful.Now I can only hope that more shorts and cartoons will take on both the quality of this animation as well as the quality of stimulation for kids....and I love it too....I guess the kid in me just loves the song, the colors, the story, the characters and the voice.

I love this short. I'm not sure why not very many people did. It was so poignant and touching. I love the lesson that it tries to convey. Why some may say that it's sappy and not at all like the previous Pixar shorts...I'd say this one is a cut above the rest. The animation is fabulous as always and there was just an extra touch of love to it because of the personalization done by Bud Luckey's animation. Him providing the vocals for this one put the icing on the cake. I just love Bud Luckey. He seems like such an endearing man. Especially when they interviewed him on the extra features DVD and he mentioned something about the work he did previously for Sesame Street and how he was teaching kids with numbers then and now they were teaching him how to animate with numbers...and he seemed almost tearful.
