Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the babies from? The answer lies up in the stratosphere, where cloud people sculpt babies from clouds and bring them to life. Gus, a lonely and insecure grey cloud, is a master at creating "dangerous" babies. Crocodiles, porcupines, rams and more - Gus's beloved creations are works of art, but more than a handful for his loyal delivery stork partner, Peck. As Gus's creations become more and more rambunctious, Peck's job gets harder and harder. How will Peck manage to handle both his hazardous cargo and his friend's fiery temperament?

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kirpianuscus a stork. a cloud. and a lot of dangerous babies. result - a touching film. first - for idea - the classic stork as messenger of special babies maker. second - for the impossible mission of eccentric team between good intentions of cloud and the unhappy but full of good intentions stork. not the least, the fireworks of imagination reflected by the chain of not ordinary animals. so, a soft, lovely film.
sky blue Storks are known for giving every animal their babies. In this story, they transport babies from clouds in the sky. A cloud is good at creating dangerous babies, such as crocodiles, sharks, or hedgehogs. So, the stork which comes to those clouds has many troubles carrying babies.We sometimes compare clouds to something else, however, in this movie, clouds in the sky have expressive faces and feelings. When they get angry, lightning strikes from it. Also, when it feels sad, rain comes out instead of tears. I think this idea is very interesting because clouds are depicted like humans.The back ground pictures are so beautiful and they make this movie more fantastic.When you look up on the sky, you may find a gentle cloud like in this movie.
emasterslake At first this short looked like it was going to be decent, but I completely changed my opinion once they show how funny it can get with using a basic "baby delivering storks" element. Throughout the short it shows clouds that create infant humans and animals of all kinds and have the storks deliver them to their new families. One of the storks was trying to find an infant human or animal to deliver, but the cloud he comes to only makes slightly dangerous infant animals. Which makes the stork's job a little harder than the other ones are getting.I admit it was a good short, with some surprising good laughs. I don't have the heart to rank it higher than my other favorite Pixar shorts, but doesn't mean I hate it. I would definitely watch it again.
boblipton Once again, Pixar has accompanied one of its wonderful features (in this case, UP), with a short subject. And the short subject, PARTLY CLOUDY, plays like a variation on Bob Clampett's classic cartoon, BABY BOTTLENECK, although without Porky or Daffy.Like all of Pixar's shorts, this is a virtual silent picture, with just enough sound effects to keep it going. It concerns where babies come from before the storks deliver them: from clouds, it turns out, who shape them from their own material. For this one we get to follow the cloud and stork who produce not fluffy kittens, but other, more dangerous critters, like crocodiles and porcupines.I do have some slight issues with how clouds are rendered -- a bit more solid and cotton-batting-like than I would think, but this is a lovely little pleasure for the viewer.
