Boundin'

Boundin' (2003) is a five-minute Pixar short you can watch online on iFILM. High on a mountain plain, a lamb with a dazzlingly shiny coat is so proud of it that he breaks into a tap dance.

Then the shearers arrive, and along with his wool goes all his pride. A jackalope — a horned rabbit straight out of cowboy tall tales — sets him straight: it's not the coat, it's what's underneath. Bud Luckey directed, narrated, and wrote the banjo-backed song himself. It's a gentle little parable about bouncing back when life strips away the things you leaned on. The short earned an Academy Award nomination. Watch Boundin' online on iFILM.
