All in One Place...and on Blu-ray!
I love the Pixar shorts that appear before the movies. And while I have the shorts w/ the individual movies, it's nice to have them all in one place. Also, there are some bonus items which are fun. One other nice thing is that the shorts are on blu-ray and since I won't be replacing all of my Pixar movies with blu-ray discs, I at least have the shorts in HD.
For those not familiar with Pixar Shorts, they are made to exhibit new technologies and CGI techniques. There isn't one short that I don't enjoy. I always get a chuckle from Gerald's Game and Boundin' is pure delight.

EXCELLENT DVD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
if you have seen all the movies that these shorts are allocated to but don't want to own them all just to see the shorts, then this dvd is a must, the blue ray edition is fantastic, just buy it you won't be disappointed

great collection, ultimate quality!!
excelente colleccion de cortos, como todo lo de pixar, y observarlos en full 1080p HD es un deseo hecho realidad, aqui se aprecia la evolucion de la animacion por ordenador en tan solo un par de decadas y se disfruta el hecho de porque pixar es lo que es hoy en dia.
de lo mejor del Blu ray es los extras y en especial el documental.
muy recomendable compra.

I liked it but too much money
My best short favorites are basically the latest versions like "Jack Jack Attack", "Mater and the Ghost Light", and "Lifted"
I feel that this disc should be cheaper with the amount on content involved inside.

A Must Own
Pixar pioneered a new form of animated film and these shorts show the evolution of the art form that transformed the face of animation. This collection of shorts is a must-own for any fan of animated films.

Delightful
This is a charming collection of Pixar short films plus extras like a brief history of Pixar shorts, segments from Sesame Street and audio commentary. The films range from the very basic like Andre & Wally B from the early days, to the sophisticated like One Man Band, a filmette about 2 street musicians competing for a coin from a little girl in a European town square.
My favorites include Tin Toy in which a destructive baby goes on the rampage while the terrified toys cower under a couch and a drummer-boy toy tries to appease the little urchin, the uplifting Boundin' - the story of a sheep that suffered from depression after shearing until a jackalope comes by and brings out spectacular new talents in the sweet animal. This one has great country music and the story is a rhyming poem.
Jack-Jack Attack is the scary tale of a babysitter trying to control a weird baby who has supernatural powers, and in Knick Knack a snowman desperately tries to join the fun in the sun by attempting escape from his snow dome - the music here is especially charming. Another good one is Mater and the Ghostlight, a story of cars and trucks with a great country & western soundtrack.
I also enjoyed For the Birds, a simple story of little bluebirds who were nasty to a bigger, awkward bird and paid for it by losing their feathers, and Lifted, the story of an attempted UFO abduction that didn't quite work out because of the incompetence of the trainee abductor. Those who have seen Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles will probably not be too impressed, but I found the DVD highly entertaining and informative.

absolutely stunning on blu-ray
this is an amazing example of what blu-ray is and can be...strongly suggest adding to the library, and it is an excellent archive of the pixar shorts which preceeded all the great animated films (monsters inc., toy story, etc.)

Kids Love It
I bought this for my 5 and 4yr old. They love it and it looks wonderful on blu ray. You have to remember that it was meant for little kids. So its not in the format of a movie but how it was shown in the movies. I think it wonderful for the whole family.
