Highly Overrated But Still Good
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
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.
This short is simply perfect in my opinion. It is cute, amusing, and very well animated, having great CGI and a very appealing design of characters. Even when the plot from this short isn't something incredibly "complex" or "deep", that doesn't made this any less enjoyable. In fact, I think that the light-hearted tone from "Presto" balances very well the seriousness of "WALLE", being something quite charming and delightful from beginning to end. "Presto" has all elements of a perfect crowd pleaser. It could be easily compared with the Disney's Silly Symphonies shorts, or seen at least as a modern equivalent for those classic animations.10/10
Presto is Pixar's CGI short film which accompanies Wall-E. It tells a simple story of a stage magician, his hat, and his rabbit. Without giving too much away, the story hinges on two things: one, the magician wants the rabbit to perform before he is fed, and the rabbit is disinclined to cooperate; and, two, the hat is genuinely magical in that the interior of the hat is a portal to elsewhere.With these two bits of the machinery oiled and ready to go, Presto springs into action like - well, like a brilliantly executed magician's trick. It is fast, it is furious, it escalates magnificently, it features wonderful acting by both the magician and the rabbit and a selection of violent cartoon slapstick which vies with the best of Tom and Jerry and the Roadrunner and, above everything else, it is hysterically funny.This is a terrific little film.
Pixar has yet again won me over! They came up with another cute cartoon for all to enjoy. Presto is different from anything I have seen in a while. I loved the way it was portrayed to the audience. The animation on it was pretty well done, it has a good sense of humor, but wasn't over the top. It was fast paced and kept you guessing about what would happen next. I thought it was a fun short film to watch for all ages and gives everyone a big smile on their face. It was entertaining for many reasons and one of my most significant reason was that the story is so well told, despite being a silent film. Presto was a great short film and shows Pixar's true abilities. Pixar is one of the top animation companies out there and is getting better and better with every film.
