Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1

Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 (2007) gathers thirteen of the studio's shorts in one place, and you can watch it online on iFILM.

The lineup spans almost two decades of tinkering, from the hopping desk lamp of Luxo Jr. to the old man playing chess against himself in Geri's Game. Most run without a single line of dialogue, carrying the whole story through movement, music and timing. Several took home the Oscar for animated short, while others were early sketches that later grew into the studio's feature hits.

Taken together, it's a compact history of how Pixar taught itself to land a full story in three minutes. Watching one short at a time makes it an easy pick for younger viewers. Stream Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 (2007) online on iFILM.
