One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together has problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird that tries to join them. The birds of a feather can't help but make fun of him - and their clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Gordon-11 This short animation tells the story of a group of mean birds on a wire, who laughs at a big bird who wants to join them on the wire.The animation is only three minutes long, but it already tells a lot of story. The little birds are really mean, and bullies the big bird. The big bird tries to be friendly, but is bullied by the small birds. Well, who has the last laugh? The short animation is entertaining, and has a satisfactory ending. I enjoyed watching it.
sashank_kini-1 Maverick Pixar can do so many things in three minutes. It can present a contemporary view of the society- teeming with snobbish, truculent, neurotic, vindictive people or in this case birds who show no mercy to outcasts and unite to bring them down the wire the moment the outcast wants to be included in the society. Big birdie over here looks stupid and dim-witted to the bickering birds who are appalled at the sight of their new companion. However, it is big birdie who gets the last laugh.The wonderful thing about Pixar is that its films are dear to it. Therefore, FTB is referred to not only in Finding Nemo but also in Cars. And it's very well made short indeed. 8 out of 10.
Lee Eisenberg I remember that "For the Birds" preceded "Monsters Inc." in the theater. I laughed out loud as those ornithological dopes thought that they owned the world until the big guy unintentionally taught them a lesson! It just goes to show that Disney may have hit a big slump throughout the '80s and '90s - turning classical stories into overstuffed musicals - but their alliance with Pixar has produced some really neat work.All in all, this is one that you're sure to love. Among other things, it reminds us that birds are a most unique kind of animal (even when portrayed in cartoons). Really good.
reallyshippy Possibly one of the funniest films I've ever seen, even if it is 'only' a short. I saw it before Monsters Inc. in the cinema, and I'd have to say I laughed more at 'For the Birds' than the entirety of Monsters Inc. Great stuff.
