Purl

Purl (2019) is a Pixar SparkShort animated film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Kristen Lester. Running nine minutes, it follows an eager ball of yarn named Purl who lands a job at a fast-moving startup staffed entirely by interchangeable guys in button-downs. She doesn't fit in. So she tries to.

The film is a sharp, gentle look at workplace belonging — how much of yourself you reshape to get accepted, and what you lose in the process. At nine minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome, and the ending earns its warmth. Stream Purl (2019) online on iFILM.
