Lamp Life (2020)
Lamp Life Review
Lamp Life is a 2020 animated short film. It is a Pixar short based on ‘Toy Story 4’.
Bo Peep explains what happened to herself and her sheep between the events of ‘Toy Story 2’ and ‘Toy Story 4’. This is pretty much another origin story reminiscent to Jessie’s in the second movie. Thus, this short lacked originality and was just an uninspired companion piece for the fans of the fourth movie, which I am definitely not.
With that being said, the animation is very strong, the movie is tender and sweet, and it was great seeing more of Bo Peep’s life history. The film is very short, but it also doesn’t overstay its welcome. It is perfectly serviceable and featuring a couple of quite heartwarming moments, but for the most part it was too lazy for me.
