Piper Ratings & Reviews
- icristian.hrimiucJuly 29, 2025A short but powerful animation that you will definitely love
- WillsHimselfDecember 30, 2025Piper might just be the most visually breathtaking six minutes Pixar has ever produced. It is difficult to describe without sounding hyperbolic, but the animation is revolutionary—the wet sand, the crashing waves, and the ruffled feathers are rendered with a photo realism that is nothing short of startling. However, it isn't just a tech demo; it is a truly beautiful vignette about a baby sandpiper overcoming her fear of the ocean. The story is simple and dialogue-free, yet it packs more heart and charm into its brief runtime than most full-length features manage in two hours. It is a tiny, perfect masterpiece that does justice to the medium of animation.
