Info

Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the babies from? The answer lies up in the stratosphere, where cloud people sculpt babies from clouds and bring them to life. Gus, a lonely and insecure grey cloud, is a master at creating "dangerous" babies. Crocodiles, porcupines, rams and more - Gus's beloved creations are works of art, but more than a handful for his loyal delivery stork partner, Peck. As Gus's creations become more and more rambunctious, Peck's job gets harder and harder. How will Peck manage to handle both his hazardous cargo and his friend's fiery temperament?

Partly Cloudy Audience Reviews

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
mihai_chindris The adventures of a cloud who changes moods - good story. More fascinating is the fact the, we humans, behave like the cloud, adjusting our feelings and emotions according to what happens to us in a particular day. It's only 5 minutes and it's worth the time. You won't lose anything watching it.
Prismark10 A charming Pixar short that accompanies its feature length films at the cinema.Kids would love to know where all the cute babies, puppies, kittens and rabbits come from. Its from those fluffy clouds where they are all wrapped up delivered ready by flying Storks. All happily delivering joy to the world.However the planet is not all cuddly babies and puppies. What about baby alligators, hedgehogs, sharks. The kind of thing that do not have the necessary cute attributes.This is a tale of the dark cloud which has all the spiky jobs where as its neighbours has the more cuddly deliveries and its also the story of his attached Stork who have risk his few remaining feathers delivering spiky hedgehogs, snappy alligators to proud parents whilst gazing wilfully at the other storks with easier tasks.A short that is fun and interesting.
TheLittleSongbird As someone who is consistently impressed with Pixar, I really enjoyed Partly Cloudy. It is not one of Pixar's best, not like Geri's Game, Presto, One Man Band and Knick Knack, but there is much to like and it compliments Up(the feature film that succeeds it). As with all Pixar's work, it is beautifully animated, the clouds may occasionally have a slightly cotton wool look to them, but the characters are well modelled and the colours and backgrounds are gorgeous. The music is understated with a nostalgic feel to it, and while not laugh out loud funny like Presto for instance Partly Cloudy is still entertaining. It also has a very cute and charming story and the characters especially the messenger of the black cloud are endearing. Overall, while not Pixar's best it is definitely worth watching for its cuteness and for how beautiful it looks. 9/10 Bethany Cox
MartinHafer This is the short Pixar film that was shown immediately before UP. One thing I love about the Pixar full-length films is how they always begin with a short film--talk about value for the audience! The plot involves storks and clouds. Apparently all babies (human and animal alike) are created in the clouds and each cloud has its own stork assigned to it. One stork is rather put upon, however, as his cloud seems a bit...crazy. Instead of creating cute babies, puppies and kittens like the other clouds, this one makes very, very dangerous babies that invariably hurt the poor stork. It's pretty funny seeing the stork get hurt again and again. It's also amazingly adorable seeing the little puppies and kittens--as it's animated in a very adorable style. And, for the first time, this short is in 3-D.My wife and daughter absolutely loved this short film. As for me, I liked it but not nearly as much. This is mostly because compared many of the other Pixar shorts (such as PRESTO, LIFTED, JACK-JACK ATTACK and ONE MAN BAND) it comes up a bit short on laughs. Still, it is an enjoyable and welcome and I recommend you see it and UP as soon as possible.
