Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 (2004)

great collection, ultimate quality!!

excelente colleccion de cortos, como todo lo de pixar, y observarlos en full 1080p HD es un deseo hecho realidad, aqui se aprecia la evolucion de la animacion por ordenador en tan solo un par de decadas y se disfruta el hecho de porque pixar es lo que es hoy en dia.
de lo mejor del Blu ray es los extras y en especial el documental.
muy recomendable compra. June 10, 2008

doesn't get much better

To watch Pixar at it's infant stages and watch it grow is amazing,can't wait for volume 2(and future Pixar movies May 23, 2008

I liked it but too much money

My best short favorites are basically the latest versions like "Jack Jack Attack", "Mater and the Ghost Light", and "Lifted"

I feel that this disc should be cheaper with the amount on content involved inside. May 13, 2008

A Must Own

Pixar pioneered a new form of animated film and these shorts show the evolution of the art form that transformed the face of animation. This collection of shorts is a must-own for any fan of animated films. May 3, 2008

Delightful

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. May 2, 2008
