Watch Presto For Free

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

fun, useful lesson, an adorable character and pledge for friendship. and, maybe, it is enough. because "Presto" the virtue to be the brilliant example of seduction.remembering the shows of circus, the magic from the top hat, the rabbits and the fables. sure, a great piece of Pixar. and the gift for the inner child.

A magician, his magic top hat and his desperately cute and hungry rabbit.PRESTO is a Pixar featurette before WALL-E and has brought back the classically hilarious "short," popularized by Warner Bros. and Bugs Bunny cartoons all those decades ago.The protagonist, being a rabbit, made me feel somehow like a person from the 40s or 50s might have felt when that other cheeky rabbit careened across the silver screen for the first time, with that sense of amazement and wonder at watching something so guttingly funny.Presto the Magician is onstage for his act, but his rabbit wants to be fed, so refuses to be pulled from Presto's magic hat until he gets his fix of carrot. The myriad ways in which he confounds Presto's attempts to drag him from the hat are – once again, when speaking of Pixar – absolutely ingenious.

The newest animated short from Pixar is something of a cross between a Disney cartoon and Wile E. Coyote one. Although Disney has a reputation of softening more mature content (hence the term "Disney-fied"), that doesn't happen here. "Presto" is wickedly clever, and the madcap hijinks are guaranteed to have the viewer convulsed with laughter.This is a five minute short, so the story is simple. A magician forgets to feed his rabbit (that he pulls out of a hat), so when he goes to perform, the rabbit enacts his revenge.The key to the humor is the magician's magic hats: put something under one, and you can pull it out of the other. The short gets a lot of mileage out of this, but the short never repeats any of the gags.It's a given that a Pixar film is going to have great animation, and "Presto" is no different. But director Doug Sweetland is a master of slapstick comedy, and with no dialogue (like all the Pixar shorts), he manages to get everything he can out of each gag.If you want to laugh, see "Presto!" It's hysterical.

This is a terrific little theatrical cartoon which came with the WALL-E DVD. This is extremely inventive, and so frenetic it's almost too much but lends itself to numerous viewings to catch all the great sight gags. In fact, after I viewed it, I watched again. It's an amazing five minutes. It should win some awards."Presto" is a magician. His big act is pulling things - mainly a rabbit - out of his top hat. However, there is a problem. The rabbit wants the carrot that is a available. He's hungry, and without that snack, he is not going to help Presto perform his act.....and that's what happens. The magician, who was running a bit late, doesn't want to bother to feed the poor animal (as if it would take time!) and the little hungry bunny makes him pay the price by sabotaging his act.How he makes the magician pay, I won't spoil by saying (even though I put spoiler warnings on this.) Suffice to say, the gags are funny and brutal, at the same time. However, things work out in the end because the people in the audience have no clue that all the mayhem isn't staged, and they think it's a great act! This is a good old fashioned "slapstick" short film with great, colorful and detailed animation. In fact, it is one of the best Pixar shorts I have seen, which says a lot since that company already has produced so many outstanding animated feature stories and shorts.Considering Doug Sweetland is behind this effort, it's no surprise that it excels. Sweetland was the supervising animator on "Cars," and many of these great Pixar movies and shorts. He is talented man.
