In recent years, short animated films have once again become a staple in front of Disney’s ‘toon features, and with the Mouse House’s latest offering, Big Hero Six, arriving later this year in the States and early in 2015 in the UK, the company has announced the title and basic concept for its latest, **Feast.
Directed by Patrick Osborne, who been an animator and animation supervisor on the likes of Bolt, Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph and Paperman, Feast will tell the story of one man’s love life as seen through the eyes of his best friend: his dog Winston. The ups and downs of the various relationships are shown via their shared meal times.
No other details have been revealed beyond the first still image showing the dog’s bowl and his shadow (above) and the title logo. It sounds a little reminiscent of another new project announced this week,My Owner's Wedding, which we suppose might have prompted Disney to unveil their plans.
Big Hero 6, meanwhile, sees Disney’s Feature Animation department dipping their toes into Marvel territory for the first time – albeit with no direct connection to the MCU, unless Kevin Feige and co. are being even sneakier than we give them credit for – adapting the adventures of a ragtag group of first-time crime fighters who must save their city, San Fransokyo, from a huge threat. We got a look at some early footage last year.
Both Feast and Big Hero 6 will hit UK screens on February 13 next year.
