Boundin'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boundin' is a 2003 Oscar-nominated short film, shown at the start of the Disney-Pixar film The Incredibles. It features a sheep whose elegant dancing is very popular with the other animals but who one day finds himself shorn becoming naked and shy and prevented from dancing so elegantly. It is whilst in his bare state that a jackalope comes across the little lamb and teaches him the merits of "bounding" rather than dancing. The sheep is converted and its popularity is restored.
Writer-director Bud Luckey designed and voiced all the characters, composed the music and wrote the story. According to the director's commentary for The Incredibles, Brad Bird wanted to introduce the animated short by having Rick Dicker, (the superhero relocator from The Incredibles, also voiced by Bud Luckey) enter a room, sit down, and pull out his banjo.
Boundin' was released on the The Incredibles 2-disc DVD collector's release on the second disc, including commentary from Bud Luckey and the short clip titled Who is Bud Luckey?.
[edit] Trivia
Like many Pixar films, Boundin' contains a number of elements from other films. The following are mentioned in the commentary track on the Incredibles DVD:
- The Ford Model T that carries the sheep shearers is a model for the 2006 film, Cars. That model actually became a statue of the founder of Radiator Springs, known as Stanley.
- The hand of the sheep shearer is that of the dentist (P. Sherman) from Finding Nemo.
- The fish in the pond are also models used in Finding Nemo, from the character Gurgle.
- There is a hidden Easter Egg on the DVD of the movie Cars. On the main menu, after the third image of the Piston Cup flashes in front of Lightning McQueen, a Dinoco 400 logo will appear in the bottom right hand corner. Hit the "right" button on your remote to select it, and you will be shown a short film featuring Lightning, Mater and Guido that parodies this short film.
