You won't be disappointed!

A Masterpiece!

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

'DAY & NIGHT': Four Stars (Out of Five) Another classic six minute animated short film from Pixar and directed by Teddy Newton, who has been involved in the art department and acting in Pixar and other animated films for several years now. The film tells the story of 'Day' and 'Night' meeting and of course clashing by each others' frightening differences. The film turns into a tale of not judging others for being alien to you and learning to get along despite differences. It opens preceding 'TOY STORY 3', like classic animated films used to (and Pixar has been doing for years now). I'm sure it will be up for an Academy Award come Oscar time. A nice little film.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBqNUf10kuk

I've been a huge fan of Teddy Newton since I saw his amazing collages on the "Incredibles" special features. I'm a mixed-media/collage artist myself, and I wanted to hang his art on my wall with spotlights and background music. :) He's incredibly talented, and I'm thrilled that he got to direct a short.The concept and the characters were absolutely precious. However, do we HAVE to have another movie/cartoon/kids show about the virtues of tolerance and understanding? I can't keep PBS Kids on the TV without my kids being spoon-fed "tolerance" in 100 different ways. It's apparently one of the highest virtues possible, other than caring for the environment. /sarc.Plus, a lesson on the evils of preconceived notions just feels like cheesy story-telling. I remember on the commentary for "One Man Band," the directors said (in essence), "We thought about having the two work together at the end, but we found out that working together just isn't very *funny.*" If story is built on conflict, and yet your story tries to teach us that conflict could be avoided with just a little more understanding, it stops being a story! It starts being a sermon. (Side note: The reason why I hate Christian movies is because they're 99% sermons, and sacrifice story on the altar of persuasion. I really hope Pixar doesn't take that route in the secular world.) I hope Teddy Newton directs again soon. I love his work. I just don't like being preached at.

Day and Night is a hilarious short and I would say one of Pixars best shorts yet,for a change instead of the usual computer animation this is shown in 2-D (with some computer animation as well)which is an enjoyable change for Pixar.Day,a guy whos inside of his body is daytime and Night,a guy whos inside of his body is night time don't get along very well and try to get each other jealous by showing what there time has and what there one hasn't,for example,Day has a girl at the beach in a bikini and when Night tries it,it just shows a queit dark beach with no one there,simply hilarious.

I might try to describe the substance of this film, but frankly it defies description. You simply have to see the short to understand what it the story is.This short was shown before Disney's recent release of "Toy Story 3". While my daughter loved this short, I only mildly enjoyed it. Now there were some things to admire about this film. First, it was unique and highly creative. I can say that despite my having seen a ton of shorts over the years, this one is nothing like any of them! In addition, the animation, not surprisingly, was top-notch--something we have all come to expect from Pixar. And, finally, the short did a great job of telling a story with absolutely no dialog..none. But, on the other hand, the film seldom made me laugh and it was pretty insignificant in many ways. I would consider this about average for a Pixar short but certainly not in the same league as their best shorts--such as "Jack-Jack Attack", "Lifted" or "Knick-Knack" (one of their earliest and still my favorite).
