The Story of Big Mac

At a seedy and darkly lighted bar full of tough men drinking tough beer, the doors swung open and in walked the silhouette of yet another tough man wearing a cowboy hat. He calls out for silence and says, "Big Mac is coming." Everyone shrinks at the thought. Chairs scrape against the wood and billiard balls drop to the floor as all the men clear out faster than you can say "leather." The bartender shivers as loud footfalls begin to be heard outside the swinging doors. Through the fog, a massive man stomps in, kicking aside chairs. He orders a beer, which the violently shaking bartender is barely able to place on the countertop. The massive man swallows the beer and crushes the glass bottle in his bare hands. He turns to the bartender, hard jawline carved like it was from stone, and he says, "You better leave. Big Mac is coming."

That's what this short instantly reminded me of. One big cliche. And shorts like this win Academy Awards? I enjoy watching shorts like this to remind me that Pixar still makes the best American animated shorts and that foreign countries should just stop submitting anything they make to the Academy.

You are obviously having a bad day and taking it out on all of europe!
