Review by John Delia
Many of you have probably seen a short film before the start of a PIXAR/Disney movie. Well here is a collection of 11 of them and two bonus short films never before seen. Look for PIXAR Short Films Collection 3 and you can add this gathering of fun to your library for tots and the young at heart. Now in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, it’s just in time for the holidays as a warm up to your guests at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
PIXAR is very creative and they have a lot of ideas for very good family animated films. Before the likes of Toy Story, Monster’s Inc. Cars and many more they show a warm up cartoon. The following 13 short films show their talent and sense of humor and in many of them their heart and love for family. Sit back and watch some of the best comedy, adventure and love in awesome animation.
The Pixar Short Film Collection also contains a Digital Code to allow you to play the short films using the free Movies Anywhere app. The Blu-ray and DVD short films come with a choice for an introduction (on) and commentary (on) or you can choose (off) for either before each of the short films. Did I confuse you? Other features include the English Descriptive Audio option where a voice over will describe the action on the screen. And finally, if you really want to collect the older PIXAR shorts you can join the Disney Movie Club to find out if they are available.
FINAL ANALYSIS: A very good Blu-ray/DVD for your collection. (4.5 out of 5 Stars)
