I look forward to the Pixar Shorts before any Disney/Pixar movie at the theatre.  It reminds me of when I was a kid and the sometimes short Mickey episodes before a movie.  The difference is the shorts have some seriously amazing animation.  I love these shorts and so do the kids.  They sat down this weekend and watched the DVD and ran out of the living room excitedly telling me about the difference episodes.   One of my favorites is La Luna, it is is amazing and a cute way to tell the story of the moon!  The kids loved the Toy Story shorts.  A couple more funny shorts that will get you laughing are BURN•E  and Dug's Special Mission.
