Must See Movie...

A Masterpiece!

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Unusually for a Pixar short, Presto is a rather fast and frenetic cartoon.A magician is preparing for his stage show and has a nice juicy carrot for his rabbit.The rabbit is salivating but the magician is just teasing him with it. The hungry rabbit causes chaos with the show especially with the magic hats.Inadvertently with all the bedlam and the magician getting injured with the tricks going wrong, the show wows the audience.

fun, useful lesson, an adorable character and pledge for friendship. and, maybe, it is enough. because "Presto" the virtue to be the brilliant example of seduction.remembering the shows of circus, the magic from the top hat, the rabbits and the fables. sure, a great piece of Pixar. and the gift for the inner child.

This short is simply perfect in my opinion. It is cute, amusing, and very well animated, having great CGI and a very appealing design of characters. Even when the plot from this short isn't something incredibly "complex" or "deep", that doesn't made this any less enjoyable. In fact, I think that the light-hearted tone from "Presto" balances very well the seriousness of "WALL•E", being something quite charming and delightful from beginning to end. "Presto" has all elements of a perfect crowd pleaser. It could be easily compared with the Disney's Silly Symphonies shorts, or seen at least as a modern equivalent for those classic animations.10/10

Pixar shorts have long established themselves as not only gorgeous eye candy and funny but also clever and intelligent. I have always found it incredible how short films (whether they are animated or not) seek to tell a story in a short space of time. The very best do so in such a way that you have become connected with what you watch. In this sense I find short films to be much more remarkable than full length features as the most poignant of them have to overcome the limited time slot allocated to them. And Presto does just that. How can a magician and a little rabbit cause so much hilarity and mayhem in just a few minutes while also making you actually care for both characters? It is beyond me but that's what Pixar delivers. Presto lends homage to many of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons and is a roller coaster ride of enjoyment for both young and old. Following on from the equally magnificent "Lifted", "Bounding" and "One Man Band", Pixar has cemented themselves as not only the masters of creative story telling on the feature-length screen but also the short-length one. Combine that with the ever amazing (and now taken for granted) techniques used in their animation and you have an animated package that you will want to watch over and over again. Bugs would be so proud...
