In this wonderful animated feature, we are introduced to a tiny little old lady, who goes through a struggle with a vending machine to get the last little box of cookies. When she sits on a bench next to a teenager, he (at least we think) eats her cookies. But things aren't always as they seem. This is a bittersweet little film and well worth the five minutes needed to watch it.

beautiful

The story is familiar. But it works in splendid manner. For each detail of animation. For the predactibility or for humor. For the end. And for explanation. An old lady. A teenager. Four cookies. And a train station. Enough for a real, real beautiful short animation.
Magnificent

Truly a wonderful film. From the gripping plot, to the fluid animation that surpasses even the most famous Disney movies. The movie is short of great, really, in all my life and career of being a movie critic, have I never seen such an amazing piece of art. Quentin Tarantino's films don't even come close to this masterpiece.
Very Snack, Not Much Attack

Riveting storyline created by Cadelago, resulting in the conflict that comes with life and the aspects of individual humans as they progress through their daily lives. It's a story that teaches a variety of lessons and brings awareness to the fact that perspectives really matter when it comes to creating viewpoints and beliefs. For if one does not take into account, perspective, then at least one person will get hurt in the resulting effects. The hero was not only a character that one roots for but one that matches the true aspects of life. Change. Change is essential in life and it is required and the protagonist truly demonstrates this. But, needs more attack.
Wish I could watch it again

Snack Attack is an animated action blockbuster written and directed by Andrew Cadelago from 2012.
The heroine is a tiny little old lady, who goes through a struggle with a vending machine to get the last little box of cookies. When she sits on a bench next to a teenager, he eats her cookies (at least we think). But things aren't always as they seem.
In my opinion, this is a bittersweet little film and well worth the five minutes needed to watch it. I can recommend it to anyone who also likes cookies.
The film uses high angle shots of the old lady to make her appear powerful and heroic. The full shots are used to show that there is no one to save the teenager from the old bully. The animation is fluid, better than all Disney films, and the characters look super realistic.

Not an original idea

Just a very short but entertaining animated story.

Warning: Spoilers
When I was a kid growing up in the 1950s we used to have cartoons before the feature movie. Sometimes we anticipated the cartoons even more than the feature. I miss those.
This very short, less than 5 minutes, story is included in the DVD extras of the movie "Little Boy". The story itself is unrelated to the story in the movie.
All animated, here we have a short, old lady getting a snack out of a vending machine inside a train station. It gets stuck, she finally manages to get it out, satisfied with herself she goes outside to sit on the bench and wait for the train while eating the 4 cookies inside the snack pack.
It must be a small train station because there was only one bench and already on it was a spike-haired young man with a smart phone in his hands and ear buds playing music in his ears. The old lady sits anyway, determined to make the best of a trying situation.
The snack package is on the bench between them, she opens the package and takes a cookie. Then the young man reaches over and takes a cookie. The old lady is visibly upset, pulls the remaining cookies onto her lap, but he reaches over and pulls the package back to the bench between them. A very interesting development, how rude can this young man get?
There is no actual dialog in this short, just grunting and gestures but it works well. Don't read past the spoilers below if you haven't seen it yet but plan to, it is better to be surprised.
SPOILERS: They keep sharing the package of cookies, the old lady is upset but the young man seems happy. The train arrives, she gets on, looks out the window, sees the young man who sort of smiles and waves at her, but she frowns. Then she opens her purse, finds her unopened package of cookies. In a flashback we see that she had them in her purse the whole time, the identical package on the bench belonged to the young man, she actually opened his cookies and he was kind enough to share them with her without fuss. Then she observed him pick up the trash and deposit it into a trash can. She had wrongly judged the young man and now was smug by still having her cookies.
