User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Very poor Content
In this case the cost-benefit relation is very low. The product contains very old animation and we have seen many others and more recent in the movies. Is not fair to pay such a price for such short DVD and without the most representative short films.

4 Stars Like the shorts? You’ll like the disk, funny how that works!
Some of the early shorts are kind of a snooze, but it’s a completeness thing I guess. It’s fun to see the Pixar Lamp for the first time, and it’s amazing to see how long they’ve been doing this. A CG short from 1984? That’s crazy! Their contemporary shorts are as good as their films and definitely a good watch.

4 Stars The best part of this is the history of Pixar itself
This is a collection of Pixar’s 32 short films so far along with a history of how Pixar got into the business of making short animation.

The first film I saw in theatres, “Gerri’s Game” depicts an old man playing chess in the park with himself. We also see Luxo and Luxo, Junior, the desk lamps with lives of their own. The last films show alternate views of the lives of our friends from “Monsters, Inc”, “Cars”, and “The Incredibles.”

What’s so inspiring about this film is the animators themselves and what they went through to bring these characters to life. Some of the details are a little geeky, but utterly fascinating.

4 Stars All in One Place…and on Blu-ray!
I love the Pixar shorts that appear before the movies. And while I have the shorts w/ the individual movies, it’s nice to have them all in one place. Also, there are some bonus items which are fun. One other nice thing is that the shorts are on blu-ray and since I won’t be replacing all of my Pixar movies with blu-ray discs, I at least have the shorts in HD.

For those not familiar with Pixar Shorts, they are made to exhibit new technologies and CGI techniques. There isn’t one short that I don’t enjoy. I always get a chuckle from Gerald’s Game and Boundin’ is pure delight.
