The Movie Pool takes a long look at the short films of Pixar from their new Blu-ray!
The Set-up
Short films from Pixar, many featuring characters from the studio's feature fims, are presented.
The Delivery
This second collection of short films from Pixar features 12 cartoons in stunning high definition. Many of the shorts were previously available on Pixar home video releases (including "Hawaiian Vacation" and "Air Mater"), and three are Academy Award nominees.
What we get in Volume 2 of the series is an eclectic mix of styles and approaches, and for the most part, it all works well. While some are mildly amusing, others (like "Day and Night") are exceptional, that entertain and manage to be original.
The shorts included in the collection are:
"Your Friend the Rat" Ratatouille's Remy and Emile provide the disgusting yet funny history of rats. Director Jim Capobianco and production designer Nate Wragg provide an optional audio commentary.

So sad. In a tragic murder-suicide, a grandma and her adult son took the lives of her three innocent grandkids over a bitter custody battle with the kids' biological parents. Tragedy struck an Ohio family on Nov. 12 when Sandy Ford, 54, allegedly conspired with her adult son Andy Ford, 32, to kill themselves and her three grandkids -- his nieces and nephew -- over a bitter custody dispute. All five were found dead inside the family garage. Authorities believe that Sandy, who was about to lose custody of her three grandkids Paige Hayes, 10, Logan Hayes, 6, and Madalyn Hayes, 5, hooked up hoses from a family truck to a Honda Civic in the family's garage. Firefighters had to use a sledgehammer to break through the garage, which had been barricaded shut. They found all five dead inside the car, as well as the family's two dogs and cat. Sandy husband, Randy, called police on Nov.
