2.0 out of 5 stars With a name like Pixar, I expected more., April 15 2012

This review is from: Pixar Short Films Collection, Vol. 1 (DVD)

I'm not a fan of either "Monsters Inc". or "Cars" and hadn't seen all the Pixar shorts, but assumed they'd all be great... wrong. If it weren't for "Jack-Jack Attack", "One Man Band" and my favourite of the bunch- "Boundin'", this would have been a complete waste.

I wish I'd done my homework and not also assumed that the hilarious "Presto" was in this package. For those interested in Pixars interesting history, this is a safe bet. For those like me who're picky about their 'toons, buy them individually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short Films Gave Me a Long Laugh, Dec 12 2007

This review is from: Pixar Short Films Collection, Vol. 1 (DVD)

The last person to review this DVD indicated the Pixar Short Films were simply the shorts from Pixar's previous movies; however if they had read the box they would have known this was the case before purchasing the product and then complaining it was boring and repetitive.
I think it is great Pixar has combined all of these smart shorts onto one anthology DVD. These movies are clever, funny and creative. I have seen them several times and still appreciate them.
5 stars, hands-down; uplifting, cute and funny!

(TOP 50 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME)

This review is from: Pixar Short Films Collection, Vol. 1 (DVD)

This is a charming collection of Pixar short films plus extras like a brief history of Pixar shorts, segments from Sesame Street and audio commentary. The films range from the very basic like Andre & Wally B from the early days, to the sophisticated like One Man Band, a filmette about 2 street musicians competing for a coin from a little girl in a European town square.

My favorites include Tin Toy in which a destructive baby goes on the rampage while the terrified toys cower under a couch and a drummer-boy toy tries to appease the little urchin, the uplifting Boundin' - the story of a sheep that suffered from depression after shearing until a jackalope comes by and brings out spectacular new talents in the sweet animal. This one has great country music and the story is a rhyming poem.

Jack-Jack Attack is the scary tale of a babysitter trying to control a weird baby who has supernatural powers, and in Knick Knack a snowman desperately tries to join the fun in the sun by attempting escape from his snow dome - the music here is especially charming. Another good one is Mater and the Ghostlight, a story of cars and trucks with a great country & western soundtrack.

I also enjoyed For the Birds, a simple story of little bluebirds who were nasty to a bigger, awkward bird and paid for it by losing their feathers, and Lifted, the story of an attempted UFO abduction that didn't quite work out because of the incompetence of the trainee abductor. Those who have seen Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles will probably not be too impressed, but I found the DVD highly entertaining and informative.

The Pixar short stories are often, for me, the best part of the movie-going experience. I am very happy that I now have a compilation of those experiences on one disk. Read more
