It’s a funny, clear premise (the alien abductor can’t get the abductee out the window), and Stu is adorable. I’ll be honest: I can’t quite place my finger on what it is about Lifted that just doesn’t grab me. The premise: An alien named Stu has to prove to his supervisor that he can abduct a human.

Played before: While Tin Toy was created before Pixar ever put a movie in theaters, it was eventually made available on the Toy Story home release. Glad things worked out for the little gremlin. In fact, many people think that Nightmare Baby is actually Andy from Toy Story. If you notice a lot of parallels to Toy Story, it’s because Tin Toy is the short that first got Pixar a lot of attention from Disney. As much as I pray for Nightmare Baby’s destruction, Tinny comes to feel for him and faces his own fear. With Tin Toy, Pixar established a few things that would become staples of the shorts to come: an inanimate object with emotions and a face, magical realism, and a sympathetic villain. We wouldn’t see another human face from Pixar until almost 10 years later with Toy Story (and even then, they played it safe by using the same face for multiple characters). It seems like Pixar learned its lesson early on with this 1988 short, and that lesson was to avoid animating realistic humans if the technology wasn’t there yet. But make no mistake, this is no Earthly creature. I will refer to him from here on out as the Nightmare Baby, because a name implies humanity. I have looked into the face of evil, and its name is Billy the baby.
The premise: A metal toy named Tinny wants to be played with by baby Billy - until he sees how rough Billy is with his other toys.
Played before: This was the OG Pixar short, so it was not played with one of their movies. is clearly inspired by Looney Tunes, using music from The Barber of Seville and featuring a plot so familiar you might just think it’s wabbit season. We all know that what sells a lot of Pixar’s animation is their staggering attention to detail, and you can see that meticulous care even with this very (and we mean very) crude early animation. This short goes so far back in Pixar’s past that its opening title card reads “Lucasfilm,” as that was the original parent company of “Graphics Group” (changed to Pixar in 1986). There’s not a whole lot to say about The Adventures of André & Wally B., but it is interesting that some aspects of this short defined Pixar before it was even Pixar.
As George Orwell once said, “What a year!” And what a year it was. is flying away, André throws his hat at him.Īh, 1984. He sees a bee named Wally B, who chases and stings André.
