Summary: Pixar ais a cut above the rest
Comment: This DVD is really great. It has all of the shorts from Pixar. It has lots of replay value as it can be shown to kids as well as adults who might not have seen them before.
Pixar is the best animation studio around and these shorts are just a sneak peek into their great storytelling ability.

Summary: Visual Feast
Comment: My 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 standards still is amazing and endearing.

Summary: Brilliant. Simply brilliant
Comment: If 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" - well, words just don't do it justice. I saw it back on the Siggraph circuit, and its emotional impact has lost nothing in the decades since. "Jack Jack's Attack" just reminded me that being really funny means being real. Kari came across as real and more than real, down to her sprawling gestures in telling her story. And, it laces in nicely with "The Incredibles."
In terms of absolute volume, there's not a lot here. But it's dense, and that gives it the mass to warrant attention. Pixar has always been on the out-there edge of animation, and this shows the edge at its sharpest.

PS: I remember the original beach babe too. That was a nice bit of humor, but a different kind of humor. It's not worth getting upset over.
