I saw this in theaters when I saw Brave. So good.
Pixar is amazing. I love all their short films. They showed all of them a year ago or so and I recorded it and watched is so many times. Every short is unique and gorgeous and fun and adorable and has a great message.
I think Pixar's crowning achievement is their ability to simultaneously write to various age and maturity levels. I can't speak to their ability to write cross-culturally, but the fact that every member of my family, from age 2 and up can enjoy their films is a testament to their storytelling and filmmaking ability.
