Well done, though. The music could just about have been from The Incredibles, but I guess in that case it was already an homage to MI anyway.

The concept of a nuclear briefcase that is also an aircraft and weapons platform is just stupid. And it certainly wouldn't be designed to be operational while the lid is closed, or interpret the thoughts of an inexplicably sentient pigeon to target a bagel. Just because something is far-fetched doesn't give it an excuse to be inconsistent. I think with a little cleverness you could get a lot more mileage out of a short involving a pigeon that unwittingly flirts with mass slaughter-- using just a plain old fashioned red-button nuclear briefcase.

It is offensive the way they are always butchering their portrayal of real life and doing it by hiding under the "artistic license" banner. This loophole in the legal system MUST be closed.
