    Pixar's unprecedented string of hit animated features was built on the short films in this collection. John Lasseter and Ed Catmull used these cartoons the way Walt Disney used the "Silly Symphonies" during the 1930s: as a training ground for artists and a way to explore the potential of a new medium. Although it's only 90 seconds long, "Luxo, Jr." (1986) ranks as the "Steamboat Willie" of computer animation: For the first time, audiences believed CG characters could think and feel. (It was also the first CG film to make audiences laugh.) When the artists began work on Toy Story, they had learned so much from the shorts, they were ready to undertake that landmark creation. In the later shorts, the viewer can see the artists continuing to experiment: with a more realistic human figure in "Geri's Game" and with new ways of suggesting atmospheric effects in "Boundin'." Some of the more recent shorts continue the adventures of the characters from the features. "Jack-Jack Attack" reveals what happened to the hapless baby-sitter while the Incredibles were off fighting Syndrome, while "Mater and the Ghost Light" shows that life goes on for the inhabitants of Radiator Springs. When Sully from Monsters, Inc. tries to adjust his seat in "Mike's New Car," the animators prolong the moment to wring every drop of humor from the situation--just as an earlier generation of animators milked Wile E. Coyote's antics for all they were worth. The long-unseen films for Sesame Street are an unexpected bonus. A delightful collection of entertaining shorts, and a significant chronicle of the growth of computer animation. (Rated G: suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

    5 out of 5 stars Pixar review   February 4, 2010
    Wilderness Weaver (Haines, Alaska USA)
    The short films presented in this video are as creative as I've come to expect from Pixar. My 8 grandkids and I watched it together and were delighted with the contents.


    1 out of 5 stars Not what we expected from Disney Pixar   January 29, 2010
    Erin M. Canterbury (Chicago, IL)
    We are a family that can't get enough of our favorite movies. When we saw Disney Pixar had come out with a DVD focusing on short films we were thrilling, thinking it would be something a little different for our twin boys. From the moment the first short film began I became skeptical. Short is an understatement to the length of the film, if you can even consider it a film. My 2 yr olds were everything but interested in any of the short films. Typically we have been happy with most if not all of the movies we have seen, even keeping the parents entertained. This DVD fell completely short of that. I certainly feel we overpaid for a DVD that did not offer much in terms of entertainment.


    3 out of 5 stars granddaughter loved it   January 7, 2010

    5 out of 5 stars GEEKS GO HOLLYWOOD, or A Pictorial History of the Pixar Co.   December 21, 2009
    C. O'Brien (Los Angeles, CA)
    The intricacies of modern computer technology can be mind boggling and, frankly, pretty dull to all but the most computer literate. Put that technology in the hands of a group of creative storytellers, though, and magic happens! Pixar's strength shows in the way they successfully couple their phenomenal technical talents with clever, and often touching, storylines. You will laugh alot at this wonderful collection of shorts, which also includes an interesting chronicle of the companies history, as well as the many improvements in computer animation over the past 20 or so years.


    5 out of 5 stars learn and enjoy   November 24, 2009
    David L. Davis (New Jersey)
    This is a wonderful collection of animated short films. Seeing the history of Pixar and the evolution of the studio was quite informative and inspiring. There are many other studios producing animations using computer graphics, but Pixar is the leader in quality and innovation by far. I had seen several of the shorts on other disks, but having them all in one place is a great idea. This is a must-have DVD collection for any fan of CG animations and film in general!
