Quality
It is almost a waste of time to write about the quality of this release. As one would expect, this collection has a Pixar level of quality. It’s absolutely stunning. The colors are vibrant. The picture is crisp. The sound is impeccable. It is a beautiful experience to watch these shorts on a nice TV with a solid surround system.
Extras
While there weren’t a ton of bonus features offered with this release, what was offered was a lot of fun. My favorite extra had to have been Caricature: A Horrible Way of Saying “I Love You.” In this feature, the artists of Pixar share about how they make caricatures of each other. It is charming and at times funny. This release also had Making Bao on it. If you haven’t seen it before, definitely check it out. It adds even more to an already wonderful short film!
Final Thoughts
The Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 3 is such a fun collection to watch. Pixar has done such a fantastic job of telling new stories in new ways. Because of this, a diverse collection of shorts can be enjoyed with this collection. Some of the shorts I had pretty much forgotten about and it was fun to revisit. I love the re-watchability of these shorts and look forward to revisiting them in the future. This is definitely a worthwhile collection for the home entertainment library. It easily gets a hat tip. Go and get it. Before you do though, let me know what your favorite Disney-Pixar short is in the comments below!
