Presto!

I haven't seen Wall-E, and probably won't until it's out on DVD, but I've been a big fan of Pixar Pictures for a long time- even before their first feature, Toy Story, came out. They had an animated short that played at our local summer festival, DaVinci days, several years earlier; I think the name was Tin Toy, or Tin Soldier, or something like that, about a tin toy soldier trying to stay away from a (comparatively huge) drooling baby. It was hysterically funny. I just found a link to a high-res version of the short that precedes Wall-E, Presto. Others have told me that Wall-E is brilliant, and that the short is terrific. It is. Bravo! Messieur Pixar!
