Pixar's unprecedented string of hit animated features was built on the short films in this collection. John Lasseter and Ed Catmull used these cartoons the way Walt Disney used the 'Silly Symphonies' during the 1930s: as a training ground for artists and a way to explore the potential of a new medium. Although it's only 90 seconds long, 'Luxo, Jr.' (1986) ranks as the 'Steamboat Willie' of computer animation: For the first time, audiences believed CG characters could think and feel. (It was also the first CG film to make audiences laugh.) When the artists began work on Toy Story, they had learned so much from the shorts, they were ready to undertake that landmark creation. In the later shorts, the viewer can see the artists continuing to experiment: with a more realistic human figure in 'Geri's Game' and with new ways of suggesting atmospheric effects in 'Boundin'.' Some of the more recent shorts continue the adventures of the characters from the features. 'Jack-Jack Attack' reveals what happened to the hapless baby-sitter while the Incredibles were off fighting Syndrome, while 'Mater and the Ghost Light' shows that life goes on for the inhabitants of Radiator Springs. When Sully from Monsters, Inc. tries to adjust his seat in 'Mike's New Car,' the animators prolong the moment to wring every drop of humor from the situation--just as an earlier generation of animators milked Wile E. Coyote's antics for all they were worth. The long-unseen films for Sesame Street are an unexpected bonus. A delightful collection of entertaining shorts, and a significant chronicle of the growth of computer animation. (Rated G: suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Rating:  - Great Shorts
I've seen most of these short films, as one appears at the beginning of just about every Pixar film (maybe all; I haven't seen all the Pixar films, so I don't know). Having them all in one place is a treat, plus I can never remember which Pixar film has which short, so if I want to see one now I can just pop this DVD in.
The progression through the years is interesting, too; watching how Pixar got better with their art was very informative.
Rating: - Go for it!
I've always been intrigued by the creativity of Pixar. Thought I would try their Short Films Collection. I must say, it was an excellent choice. The Shorts are adorable. Can't wait to show it to the grandbabies.
Rating: - pixar short films
Some of the short films are familiar, but some were not.
Also the extras like the commentary were very good.
Rating:  - Future classic!
This collection of shorts shows exactly how Pixar's brilliance outgrew Disney's throat-grip contractual relationship. These are all the iconic bits that made Pixar famous: from the little desk lamp through Birds on a Wire (which will have me rotfl forever), to Jack Jack Attack --- the cute little back-story of "The Incredibles".
This is a must-have, if only for parties --- I love to hear the surprised laughter from those who've never seen these shorts, and the "No wait! No wait! Here it comes!" ... Read More
