Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

jlansky107 I thought that the plot of this film was great. The story of a clumsy janitor who had a dream of singing on stage was entertaining to me. I thought that this film had a lot of great humor including when the janitor would fall onto the leader singer. It was interesting how the director's were able to fool the view by making the Chubbchubbs look cute, instead of the being the tough monsters carrying weapons. The animation was excellent and left me wanting to watch this as a feature length film. I especially liked the Star Wars references because I am a big fan of the series. Overall, I think that this was a great film and I give it a 10 out of 10.

Polaris_DiB This is a cute little CGI short. A character that looks something like Yoshi from the Super Mario Brothers series of Nintendo games is a down-and-out janitor at a nightclub where he dreams one day of singing on stage--except that he's a terrible singer and clumsy at that. After a short series of misadventures he hears that the Chubbchubbs are coming and tries to warn the crowd, only to find more misadventures. Finally, he sees himself protecting a group of cute, fuzzy little creatures while face-to-face with giant, glowering warriors... and a final twist gives him everything he ever wanted.As for it's Academy Award, I'm rather uncertain why this one stuck out over the much stronger Das Rad (for CGI work) and infinitely more compelling Atama Yama (for hand-drawn animation). But that's the nature of the Academy, really--seldom do they choose something that is really qualitative, and there's always a bias in there.Anyway, this is a fun short, but easily forgettable and doesn't offer anything really new to the underdog narrative or CGI animation.--PolarisDiB

madfoot-2 I liked this little movie a lot, but the main character kind of annoyed me. It lost points for that. But I did, in the end, feel for his dilemma, and I was glad things worked out the way they did. It was funny. But... I still think Das Rad should have gotten the Oscar.

P Carr The graphics were quite good, appearing (at least in small form) to be on a par w/ Pixar's.But the visual gags are the best part of this short. In particular, the references to "Star Wars" and "E.T." Other than those, "Chubbchubbs" was a cute and consistently amusing, yet never hilarious animated short.
