Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
shuna-14122 This story is a comedy movie. The rabbit who is assistant to the magician wants to a carrot. So, the rabbit adds to interference to him. The key of this story is magic hat. The magic hat is connected the other magic hat. Maybe, the other magic hat is operated by the carrot. But, in this time, the magician subjected to revenge. From the middle, the magician concern on punishing the rabbit. In fact, the audience look amusedly. I should notice this movie's last seen. In this last seen, the magician gives the carrot to the rabbit, so the magician and the rabbit together thank to the audience. I feel their bonds between the rabbit and magician.
Armand it is the first word. not the most inspired because Pixar ambition remains to transform all in magic. and in this case the case is solves. a magician, a rabbit and a carrot. and the show is complete, seductive, nice, hilarious, bitter and perfect. tricks, allusions, the poor man, the clever rabbit the final scene. all as pieces of a crazy run for success. the air of circus, the nice story, the details. and Wall - E the best second side. because it is only a story about need of success and illusion, about feelings and innocence. and, sure, about friendship. a lovely short animation who could remembers the hours of childhood. just a show, mixture of imagination and impeccable technique. that is all. or, maybe not. but for discover that , it is useful to see it .
Neil Welch Presto is Pixar's CGI short film which accompanies Wall-E. It tells a simple story of a stage magician, his hat, and his rabbit. Without giving too much away, the story hinges on two things: one, the magician wants the rabbit to perform before he is fed, and the rabbit is disinclined to cooperate; and, two, the hat is genuinely magical in that the interior of the hat is a portal to elsewhere.With these two bits of the machinery oiled and ready to go, Presto springs into action like - well, like a brilliantly executed magician's trick. It is fast, it is furious, it escalates magnificently, it features wonderful acting by both the magician and the rabbit and a selection of violent cartoon slapstick which vies with the best of Tom and Jerry and the Roadrunner and, above everything else, it is hysterically funny.This is a terrific little film.
solacewaves 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...
