Partly Cloudy

About This Movie

Partly Cloudy is such a charming short that captures the whimsical yet poignant essence of creation. You have Gus, this downtrodden grey cloud who's tasked with making these 'dangerous' babies—think crocodiles and porcupines. The animation is delightful, with an almost tactile quality that makes you feel the clouds and the textures of the babies. The pacing is brisk, but it really allows moments of emotional depth, especially in the bond between Gus and the stork. It touches on themes of acceptance and friendship in a light-hearted way that feels refreshing. The practical effects are subtle but add a nice layer to the animation which deepens the experience. A unique take on the stork legend, for sure.
