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.

3 Stars A slight disappointment
This compilation would probably be better suited for someone interested in the history of computer animated shorts. While it did contain the beloved shorts I was looking for, the others the disc included left much to be desired. It might be good for keeping young kids entertained. If you are simply a Pixar short fan like me, stick to only buying the movies you like with the shorts on them. It’s not worth the money for the two times you’ll probably watch this DVD.

5 Stars fun for all ages
Our whole family enjoys this collection. It’s fun to watch how computer animated films have evolved, plus with pixar of course everything has a great story line. Strongly recommended!

5 Stars So cute!
Bought this as a gift for my aunt who, every time she sees a Pixar movie, talks as much about the shot film before the movie than she does the actual main show. She loved it - we watched them all the night I gave it to her and we all laughed so much! They’re adorable! The perfect gift for any Pixar fan, since it’s something many people wouldn’t consider buying for themselves, even if they bought Monsters Inc, Toy Story, and all the rest!

5 Stars All of the great Pixar Shorts in one place!
I gave this DVD to someone for Christmas and we watched it between dinner and dessert on Christmas Day. It’s hilarious. My personal favorite

is the tin toy versus baby short. Since then I have watched all of the commentary on the DVD about Pixar and how each short was created and it’s really quite interesting. The best thing about these shorts is that they are still amusing even after mutliple viewings.

5 Stars Perfect for all ages!
Pixar Shorts are absolutely a favorite in our household. I have a 3 and 6 year old who both love the dvd, and I love watching along with them! Cute… funny… entertaining!
