English I have no words. An absolutely amazing short that clearly reflects the genius of Pixar. Undying friendship is something that has been depicted many times before, but never in such a magical, touching and wordless way! ()

English This is my absolute favorite Pixar short. Really brilliant idea with the clouds that make babies and puppies. When suddenly a sad cloud appears who produces hedgehogs, sharks, and alligators. But luckily he has a loyal stork who will do everything he can to deliver the baby... touching, beautiful, amazing. ()

English One of my favorite, if not the favorite, short film from Pixar. It has strong emotions, it's entertaining, it's moving, there are great ideas, wordless grotesque depiction, it has a happy ending, which is still not that happy and rather bittersweet. And is it even worth mentioning how high-quality the graphics are? Excellent characters. The wordless animation just shows how capable Pixar is. ()

English Maybe it's simple, infantile, awkward and God knows what else, but on the other hand it's imaginative (what does a cloud do when it cries - sure, it starts to rain) and so beautifully made that I just have to give it four stars. Pixar has better shorts (my favorite is the band one screened before Ratatouille), but this is so cute... Yeah, four stars and rightfully so. ()
