Pixar

My earliest memory of Pixar was watching the very first Toy Story, and the first theater experience that I can remember was Toy Story 2. I can say with confidence that these films were my all-time favorites growing up.  Pixar has always had a big influence in my life, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that we were going to be watching Pixar shorts in class. I loved all of the films that were shown, even the one with the ugly baby.  Regardless of some of the more dated production values, I have such a great appreciation for these shorts, not just because they are hilarious and have great stories, but because all of these films were attempts to refine the craft of computer animation.  

 

I have to say that my favorite of the shorts was Geri’s Game.  I loved the premise of what a lonely individual might do when no one else is around. I know that I am guilty of doing some pretty weird things when I’m by myself.  While there are some exceptions, Pixar’s work is a wonder to behold, and I have now doubt that these films will continue to make people laugh in the future.
