  • " Presto " (Presto) is an American computer animation short film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released in 2008, which was shown in theaters before " WALL.E ". The short film tells the story of a magician who tries to give a good show with one of his own rabbits who refuses to cooperate, and is filled with references to Tom and Jerry; A gag homage to classic animated films like Mad Melody . The film is directed by senior Pixar animator Doug Sweetland , who is also making his directorial debut.
    The original idea of ​​the short film was that a magician used a rabbit in his performance, but the rabbit was very stage fright. But the idea was deemed too long and complicated, so it needed to be done all over again. In order to design the theater in the film, the creators visited a number of opera houses and movie theaters for inspiration. Initially designing the theatre with 2,500 spectators was also problematic as it would be prohibitively expensive, but this was resolved by showing mostly the backs of the spectators.
    The short film received very positive reviews, and it was included in the home media published by WALL.E , which critics also found to be a delightful special. One critic called "Presto" "an outright winner," while   others called it a "short and hilarious cartoon." The film was nominated for Annie Awards and Oscars , and was part of the 2008 Animation Show.

      absolute classic

      To say it is "classic" is not because of how bizarre the plot is. On the contrary, the plot is an animation routine that you can absolutely guess, just like Hollywood has a Hollywood movie model: the magician gets a lot of applause after being mistreated, and the little rabbit finally eats the carrot. The "classic" is this cute little rabbit. From the very beginning, he was struggling to reach for the carrot on the table. It is exactly the same as the canine-toothed squirrel in "Ice Age" who...

      Appetizer

      When I went to see "Wall-E" at Chia Tai, I was surprised that there were no children's shoes with subtitles. First, there were many advertisements, and then there were two movie trailers. Seeing that the time has passed 18:30, I suspect that there is an accident, so I deliberately delay the time.

      Still wondering, the animation finally appeared on the screen. But not a robot, but a man and a rabbit. Very inexplicable, is this the legendary "Wall-E"? It feels a lot like cat and mouse,...
