My Comments:

I love Pixar's short films almost as much as I love their feature films. They're so creative and original that I look forward to seeing a new one with each new feature. For awhile now, I've been hoping to see them all together on just such a collection as this. It's also fascinating to view, in just under an hour, the evolution and refinement of Pixar's art - against which no other studio can quite compare.

Bonus features include audio commentaries, the film "The Pixar Short: A Short History", shorts from Sesame Street ("Light and Heavy" and "Surprise") and more.

On a side note, the version of "Knick Knack" shown on this page is not included on this DVD. The version featured on the disc (as well as on the DVD for Finding Nemo) is a sort of "revised" edition in which the breasts of the girl in the bikini and also those of the mermaid at the end have been reduced in size and better covered.
