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

- Visual FeastMy daughter received this for her birthday and loves it. She wants to watch it every day and it has quickly eclipsed her favorite movies. She is so tickled by all the shorts. While we own all of them with each Pixar movie, it really is a treat to have them all lined up together in one package.
I am really in awe of how good the early pieces are from the 80's. It certainly goes to show that it is the story that drives the films, even the earlier work with less finesse by today's ... Read More

- Brilliant. Simply brilliantIf a feature-length animation corresponds in some way to a novel, then a cartoon like one of these corresponds to a short story - you know, five or ten pages, and you're done before the coffee gets cold.
In this case, you'll just forget the flippin' coffee. Each little featurette is a gem unto itself. "Luxo Junior" showed the absolute mastery of characterization over body - those two show more personality in that little interlude than Keanu Reeves has shown in his whole life. "Red's Dream" ...

- The evolution of Pixar"Pixar Short Films" is the technical and artistic evolution of Pixar. Hit 'Play All', and understand that you'll start slowly. By the third short, Pixar finds their legs and and accelerates. From a slow start in 1987 to a hilarious piece from 2007, this DVD spans 20 years, showing steady improvement in technology and concept.
Each piece stands alone, almost all are brilliant, and all are part of the DNA of Pixar as elements of older shorts continue to show up in the following pieces.

- Fun to watchThis Pixar shorts collection is even better than I expected. I thought I had seen them all, but there are several older shorts that I had never seen. Also, if you select to have the narration on during the animations, you hear all sorts of interesting facts about how and why they created the aspects of the animation. If you like Pixar animation, you should get this DVD.
