This is the very first Pixar short. The story is very basic in this one and certainly not the highlight. A strange creature named Andre wakes up in a forest and sees a bee. He'd rather not get stung, so he tries to distract the bee by pointing at something the bee should definitely pay his attention to. Wally, the bee, does and André quickly runs away, not without grinning to the audience though, feeling pretty safe. Maybe that was what cost him valuable seconds as the bee quickly realizes it got tricked and goes on the hunt for André who has created a little gap. And catches him quickly. Poor André.
However, the animation was done well, especially of the forest and all the plants therein surrounding the two characters and the music choice was a good one that elevates this short film at least to mediocrity. It's a long way ahead for Lasseter and co. to his best work, but you have to start somewhere.
