Pixar’s shorts have become an event for me. I really do go to the theater as excited to see the premiere of their newest short as much as I am to see their latest feature.

Presto is a magician that neglects to feed his rabbit one too many times, and the bunny gets his revenge while Presto is on stage. As with many slap-sticky cartoons, the characters pull objects out of nothing for comedic effect, but here it is done in an exchange through magical hats, to really great comedic effect.

Pixar never ceases to impress me. Last year’s Lifted was a really funny short, but Presto topped it in the humor department, and Pixar even threw in some emotion as well. For the Birds is still my favorite Pixar short, but this one is a really close second. :)
