Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Piper is a 2016 animated short film from Pixar, one of the Pixar Shorts. It was directed by Alan Barillaro.A little sandpiper—specifically, a sanderling—is nestled in its mother's nest on a beach. The mother sandpiper urges the little chick out of the nest and teaches it to forage for clams, an experience that turns bad when the inexperienced chick is pummeled by a wave. The chick quakes with fear at going out on the beach again, until some helpful crabs show it a trick.Played in theaters in advance of the Pixar feature Finding Dory.

Artistic License – Ornithology: The sandpiper chick has exactly the same feather pattern as the adults, even though based on its body size and proportions it should still be covered only in downs.

Ambiguous Gender: The chick is never identified as male or female. Though Alan Barillaro has publicly referred to the character as a she, and "Piper" is usually a girl's name, assuming the title refers to the name of the chick.

Good Parents: The Mother Sandpiper is loving and attentive to her chick, but recognizes that it needs to learn how to get its own food and thus refuses the chick's insistence on being fed.
