The best part of this is the history of Pixar itself, 2008-12-17
This is a collection of Pixar's 32 short films so far along with a history of how Pixar got into the business of making short animation. br / br /The first film I saw in theatres, "Gerri's Game" depicts an old man playing chess in the park with himself. We also see Luxo and Luxo, Junior, the desk lamps with lives of their own. The last films show alternate views of the lives of our friends from "Monsters, Inc", "Cars", and "The Incredibles." br / br /What's so inspiring about this film is the animators themselves and what they went through to bring these characters to life. Some of the details are a little geeky, but utterly fascinating. br / br /Rebecca Kyle, December 2008

All in One Place...and on Blu-ray!, 2008-10-31
I love the Pixar shorts that appear before the movies. And while I have the shorts w/ the individual movies, it's nice to have them all in one place. Also, there are some bonus items which are fun. One other nice thing is that the shorts are on blu-ray and since I won't be replacing all of my Pixar movies with blu-ray discs, I at least have the shorts in HD. br / br /For those not familiar with Pixar Shorts, they are made to exhibit new technologies and CGI techniques. There isn't one short that I don't enjoy. I always get a chuckle from Gerald's Game and Boundin' is pure delight.

EXCELLENT DVD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY, 2008-08-29
if you have seen all the movies that these shorts are allocated to but don't want to own them all just to see the shorts, then this dvd is a must, the blue ray edition is fantastic, just buy it you won't be disappointed

great collection, ultimate quality!!, 2008-06-10
excelente colleccion de cortos, como todo lo de pixar, y observarlos en full 1080p HD es un deseo hecho realidad, aqui se aprecia la evolucion de la animacion por ordenador en tan solo un par de decadas y se disfruta el hecho de porque pixar es lo que es hoy en dia. br /de lo mejor del Blu ray es los extras y en especial el documental. br /muy recomendable compra.
