Presto

Presto (2008) is a Pixar animated short you can watch online on iFILM. Five minutes long, and every second is a tug-of-war between a magician and his very hungry rabbit.

Presto the showman strides onstage to perform his signature hat trick. Trouble is, he keeps forgetting to feed Alec Azam, the rabbit waiting backstage with a carrot just out of reach. So the bunny decides to even the score mid-performance. Two linked magic hats turn the act into a frantic chase of pinched fingers, slammed doors and props raining down on the star.

Director Doug Sweetland leans entirely on silent slapstick, the kind that powered classic Warner Bros. cartoons: no dialogue, just timing and the physics of a good gag. The short ran before WALL-E in theaters and earned an Oscar nomination. A perfect way to show kids how pure visual comedy actually works. Stream Presto (2008) online on iFILM.
