Pixar Short Films

After watching Wall-E and the short film after (Burn-E) it got me thinking about all the other short films i had seen when watching Pixar Animations, one of the first short films that i saw first was 'For the Birds' which was shown before the Monsters Inc film. This made me laugh, dare i say more than the actual feature film??

These short films are genius and make the viewer wanting more, i think many people will get excited when going to see a Pixar film, just hoping that there is a short film to watch.

Mikes New Car
If i remember correctly you get 2 short films when watching Monsters Inc, For the Birds and Mikes New Car, so there was double the fun.

I have just discovered that you can actually buy a DVD/ Bluray of the Short films!!!! I must buy this or i could put it on my Birthday wish list?? It looks as though it is available from most places such as Amazon, Play.com and the Disney Store etc, prices are around the £5 - £9 depending on where you purchase it from.

Pixar you are absolutely amazing, you not only make amazing feature films you make bite size ones too.

Wall-E

How cute is Wall-E, this is such a lovely film, i think everyone must fall in love with the little robot.

This has to be one of my favourite Disney Pixar films. The way they gave Wall-E human characteristics is brilliant, i love the part at the beginning where it is following him around and he has just woken up, and it is almost like he is a teenager and is still half asleep whilst trying to put his shoes (tracks) on.

I also like the fact that both he and Eve don't say much but you understand them completely. The way Wall-e completely falls head over heels for Eve is so sweet despite the fact she did try and blow his head off the first time they met (i guess she was playing hard to get) Yet he was smitten, following her around like a little love sick puppy, whilst unfortunate things happened to him such as falling over been crushed etc but he doesn't give up.

In the end all he wanted to do was hold her hand, so adorable. If you haven't seen this film i would recommend it, its great for all ages!


There is also a brilliant short film which is usually shown after Wall-E which is called Burn-E, its about a Robot (which you see in Wall-E, he is the one who gets stuck outside the spaceship) all he is trying to do is fix a light on the outside of the ship, but it takes a lot longer than it should, it had me in fits of giggles from start to finish. My favourite part is when he celebrates at the end, very funny :)
