"Lou" review

This is hard for me, this one. There's a lot of positives, and I would recommend this movie whole-heartedly, but if you've been paying attention to news, you know what the issue is.

It's the Pixar short. The Pixar shorts are always really fun, and really cute. There's always a lot to love about the Pixar shorts. This one is about a monster that hides in the Lost and Found, and when the children leave behind the toys, it picks it up and puts them in for help the owners to find, and then there's a bully named J.J. who starts stealing, and J.J. and Lou get into a fight, but then Lou sees that J.J.'s initials in his underwear and sees that J.J. lost a toy, and he makes J.J. return everything, and the bully goes from a jerk to a sweet kid who learns that, in a class, very nice way, that it's nice to be nice.

The animation in this is really good, I have to say, and the animation for Lou, in particular, is amazing. It bleeds and blends. Lou is a creature composed entirely of Lost and Found items, and it changes so naturally, and so fast, it's really quite amazing, and the fight scene between J.J. and Lou is a joy to behold, and I really wanna be nice.

I wanna say David Mills, you did a great job. I commend you and your ... I have nothing against you, David, but I need to talk a little bit about my reaction to the credits of this because it feels a shame that this sweet, innocent thing is, has to bear my brunt of this, and I don't want it to.

I really hate to do this, but it's the Pixar short, and guess who produced it? John Lasseter, and fucking hell, John, like fucking hell, really. Unwanted hugs. I don't know if I'll ever totally be able to watch a Pixar movie again without that sadness hanging over it. How it feels compromised now, and it doesn't deserve to feel compromised, but I fear it is.

I love those movies, but it feels compromised to me now, and it's hard sometimes to acknowledge that. Fucking hell, John. Fucking hell, just, so see Lou, so that thing about Lou, everything bad about Lou is that credit,  that will forever be melancholy for me to see, and I suspect almost everybody else.

you know Im heart broken that I had to talk about this with short becuse it relly is so good. but a story about bully trying to redeam them slefs I just could not get past that idea .
