Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1

This volume contains 13 short animated films.  I found the first 3 films a little dull, but then “Tin Toy” came on and I woke right up and took notice.  The rest of the films were mostly very good.  My favorites were “Tin Toy,” “Knick Knack,” “Geri’s Game” and “Lifted.”  To give you a flavor of the content, “Tin Toy” depicts a little wind-up toy that tries desperately to escape the clutches of a drooling careless baby.  In “Geri’s Game” an old man plays a rousing game of chess, with himself!  This volume was a lot of fun to watch.  I give it 3.5 artichokes.
