Racism


I really enjoyed this short, and I may be wrong but I thought that it was intended to highlight the stupidity of racism?
The message being tolerance and acceptance of others, different from yourself?
I don't know if I'm reading into it too much, but that's certainly the message that came across for me.

Yeah I agree, it felt like an ingenius way of showing youngsters that racism and prejudice is pretty pointless really, usually I hate covert politics in films however this is a brilliant little film with a positive message

I would argue that it highlights prejudice towards what is other or unknown in general.

I wouldn't say the message is to highlight what's wrong with racism, but with the idea of prejudice in general. Like the radio announcer says, we reject the unknown and try to keep within the familiar, but sometimes the most wonderful thing in the world can come from something completely different.

And on a side note, I'm an amateur animation-historian, and I have to say this is easily one of the greatest animated shorts I've ever seen; not only is the message great, but the mix of computer-animation with traditional style, not to mention the hilarious use of sound effects, makes this one of the greatest shorts Pixar has ever created. I could watch it 100x times.

LOL, when I first saw the title of this thread I thought somebody was gonna say the film was racist

Well, many other films has such threads on their pages...
