From 1984 to 2007, Pixar created 13 shorts films that revolutionized the animation industry. After the first short film in 1984, The Adventures of Andre & Wally B., animation would never be the same thanks to everchanging technology behind computer based rendering and the creative magic of John Lasseter and his team. Disney delivers a highly digestable DVD that showcases all of Pixar's amazing short creations, from Andre & Wally B. and Tin Toy to Jack-Jack Attack, the popular One Man Band, Mater and the Ghostlight from CARS, and the most recent Spielberg inspired short called Lifted.

Simply put... all of them, including the shorts and John Lasseter's shirt. Whether you're looking for a detailed history of Pixar through interviews, archival footage, and early animations in "The Pixar Shorts: A Brief History," a variety of Sesame Street segments, or commentaries on each short film with John Lasseter and various directors, the Pixar Short Films Collection delivers big on all levels.

The fact that Pixar hasn't created more short films.

All of you Pixar nuts out there who have been dying for Disney to include all of the short films into one set, your dreams have finally come true. There's not much else to say... you won't be disappointed. Even the older short films still look amazing!
