The relationship between the characters is what makes this film stand out, and it’s just all-around fun.
An animated short film that never gets old, especially with iconic characters from the Disney series.
An apocalyptic tale captivates the nation as it teaches us to love even in the hardest situations.

It’s easy to dismiss Joel and Ethan Coen for writing from the world they build from outside the box of overarching Hollywood stereotypes, but their inability to compromise their collective vision is precisely what makes the simplistic nature of their world-building and characters so brilliant.
