Lifted and Boundin'. Lifted is hilarious, while Boundin' never fails to make me smile.

Burn-e too- it's so funny! :))

I felt so sorry for the poor little guy! He couldn't get anything done.

For a long time Geri's Game was my favorite, but while I still love it- I think I might have another favorite:

Either For the Birds or One Man Band.
I also have a soft spot for Red's Dream, it's opening and end sequence I brilliant! the middle is not excellent but not bad.

johobbit-
if all else fails they do have a DVD with the collection of Pixar shorts you could rent,
I think that's up to Ratatouille's shorts, which means those from WALL E and Up aren't in the DVD. But not being an fan of animated movies this last info probably doesn't mean much- basically 3 or 4 shorts are missing in the collection.

I always liked Gerry's Game the best. It strikes me that this topic would have made for a pretty good poll as well. :)

There are too many amazing shorts from Pixar to pick out just one. My favorites include: Tin Toy, Geri's Game, Burn-E, For the Birds, Presto, Partly Cloudy, and One Man Band.

Tin Toy: just the storyline is so true and that's what makes it so funny.

Geri's Game: the concept is amazing and sets up a great ending.

Burn-E: I'm not much for the shorts that include characters from the full length films, but this one was pretty funny, and in a way, it did fit in with the full film.

For the Birds: great concept and hilarious throughout. I love the end title graphic.

Presto: funny throughout.

One Man Band: hilarious and has perfect timing and character acting to set the humor.

Partly Cloudy: great storyline with fun characters.

For The Birds, by far. It's sooooo ridiculously cute -- and actually has a good message too! ;))

I didn't really like Boundin'....it was the only Pixar short that wasn't part of the movie that had words. :P

I LOVED For the Birds, Presto, Burn-e, and Jack-Jack Attack. I think those were my favorites. :)

I enjoyed all of them to different degrees but I thought Boundin' was horrible. My favourite shorts are the ones I'm wearing now. I mean 'For the Birds', 'Geri's Game', 'Jack-Jack Attack' and 'One Man Band'.

I love Pixar's shorts! :D

Geri's Game fascinated me when I was younger. The way Geri switched around and played against. . . himself. I was an odd child. ;))

Presto was just fun! Others have listed the reasons for this much better then I can. :p

(Hmm, my favorite shorts go with my least favorite Pixars?)

I also like For the Birds (I heart the goofy big bird :p ) and Partly Cloudy (it was a novel idea).

We don't have an abundance of Pixar DVDs at home. Like, erm, just one—Finding Nemo. :P

Really? I would have thought you'd like Pixar films.

Okay thanks to the people who knew the name for the chess short because I couldn't remember at first what it was. Gerry's Game, yes it is my all time favorite :D I love it. Playing for his teeth =))


Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!

It's so hard to pick a favorite, but it seems I'm in the majority that Gerry's Game is my favorite! :D But For the Birds is pretty good too. ;)

Love God, love people

About Boundin'
I agree with those that disliked it. Of course me being the huge Pixar fan that I am keep trying to really like it, and it has grown on me but not a lot.

Their earlier "tests" which are on the Pixar Shorts dvd are the only one I am fine saying I don't like. Those weren't "real" shorts after all. :p

I agree about Boundin', ILF. I've only watched it once and it did very little for me. Luxo Jr. is of course a classic, but I also love For the Birds (it won the Oscar), Presto, and One Man Band (hilarious, and it has some beautiful visuals too). Mike's New Car is a very underrated Monsters Inc. short, and has me in stitches every time. But I think Gerry's Game is my favorite. I love that old man, and it made me so very happy when he showed up in Toy Story 2. :D
