Purl | Pixar SparkShorts

Purl, directed by Kristen Lester and produced by Gillian Libbert-Duncan, features an earnest ball of yarn named Purl who gets a job in a fast-paced, high energy, bro-tastic start-up. Yarny hijinks ensue as she tries to fit in, but how far is she willing to go to get the acceptance she yearns for, and in the end, is it worth it?

I love that its the same routine everyday
1)Go to work
2) Chat for like 30 seconds
3) Crack a joke
4) Debate about investments
5) Go home immediately
6) Repeat

In knitting, there are two kinds of stitches: the knit stitch and the purl stitch, and they look distinct.

When Purl redesigns herself, she uses the knit stitch, not the stitch she's named after.
If that's not a powerful metaphor, I don't know what else is.

Pixar: *Swears*

Rest of the World: Unbeweavable

This is how I felt in a company I worked. I was purl, I never changed who I was, but people started to respect me. I was a top worker and some of them didn't like me because of that. Suddenly more people entered the company and I was the path, to make things smooth for them. I don't regret it.

Everyone gangsta in the office until the cat comes in.

“I know this suit is expensive baby, but in my apartment, it’s 100% off!”

*HOL UP*

I was surprised about the swear, but then realized a PG movie or short can have at least one word like that in it

And that porcupine joke was great

I love this. It's realistic. You can't force people to accept you but you can make an effort to fit in first and slowly introduce them to the real you. It's not that the guys are evil, it's just that she is unfamiliar and people tend to stay away from unfamiliar things, so she made herself into something they are comfortable with and slowly convince them to try something new. She first earned their respect and from then on it's easier

Pixar: Inserts cuss word

Everyone: This is beyond *illegal*

[hypnobagels]

This is just basically a reference for when you become a level 100 mafia boss

Is no one gon mention the suit and yarn texture? They're so DETAILED it kinda freaks me out how good they are.

[ethanthebaumert]

Is it just me? Or does purl look like she’s running at a lower frame rate than anyone else?

[SpaceTreeStudios]

wait, all of Purl's stuff is covered in yarn
But she's made of yarn too

PURL'S LAPTOP IS COVERED IN FLESH

[xaivermccoy]

A word where bros and yarn balls live together in peace is a type of world I want to live in

[mizzwitty]

Did one recognize the matching graphics of the "problem"-charts?
The whole short is so great in little details. The threat is exzellent and entertaining. Love every bit - yarntastic ❤😂❤

As a female Engineer, I have been told to act more "masculine" in order to relate to my predominantly male coworkers. When more women enter Engineering, hopefully this will no longer be an issue.

I feel like pixar soundtracks always have bass and brass
