I'll give it to Pixar that they have yet again developed a fully functional and unique world with memorable characters. However, I can't say there was much more going for this one. It was really reminiscent of quite a few short films I've seen made over the last few years: technically sufficient, but the story and its reception depends completely on a single joke. In this, it's that one lonely cloud has a tendency to make nasty dangerous babies for his stork companion to deliver versus the other happy clouds that make all the cute babies instead. Really, other than the specific babies, there's not much more to it. There's not even the sense of visual fun and rhythm that Pixar usually has.
It was a neat idea, and the sound design was great, though I'd prefer they keep their dialog-less short dialog-less, as opposed to using grunts and hums to replace voice. There are some ideas here, it just wasn't fully developed like their work usually is. A standard average piece of work.
