This cute little short precedes Big Hero 6. It's shown from the perspective of an adorable little dog named Winston after a man takes him in off the street. He loves food, as any dog would, and most of the short is a montage of him eating. Meal times, table scraps, and other things that happen to get spilled. Then suddenly his owner gets a girlfriend, and all of his meat, cheese and snacks are replaced by leafy greens, and Winston is none too happy about that. When she walks out on the man, the feasting resumes. However, one day, Winston notices how sad his owner has become, then runs out of the house with a piece of parsley to find the girl. What would seem like a chance encounter for these two gets them back together, and they get married. By the end, Winston is not only feasting on their table scraps, but the scraps dropped by their children as well.
Like Paperman, Feast uses 2.5D animation. It's made with a computer, but the cel-shading and character models mimic hand-drawn features. A few sounds aside, there's no dialogue, commonplace for this type of short, letting the visuals and actions tell the story, and does a wonderful job on all counts.
