The recent release of "LIFTED" is very entertaining, but technically proficient. The challenge for creators is no longer about craftsmanship, but about script and plot. PIXAR's animated short films have been running through its characteristics from the very beginning. It can also be said that it has preserved its most insistent principles until now, that is, unparalleled clarity and innocence. The beautiful hope of a child, and in the recently produced "WALL E", it has been fully reflected. That's why all of its short films are of a high standard.
But out of all these PIXAR shorts, my favorites are only two: "ONE MAN BAND" and "RED'S DREAM". In terms of art, "ONE MAN BAND" has reached a high level of achievement, and the image of the characters (I mean the two one-man bands) can completely become a masterpiece of painting. This makes it unlike any other short film.
And "RED'S DREAM" is more alternative, it is a sad and simple film. In the melodious saxophone, I saw RED hobble back into the corner, and it was a pain. As far as the 3D level in 1987 is concerned, it can be compared with any 3D film now, and it is much more perfect than "Tin Toys" in the following year. The difficulty of Tin Toy is to imitate walking and crawling, which is obviously much more complicated than a bicycle tire. However, the natural rotation of the 50% OFF sign in "RED'S DREAM" has already announced the excellent performance of PIXAR in detail.
If "LIFTED" or "JACK-JACK ATTACK" or "BOUNDIN'" embodies the original image and story characteristics of PIXAR, then "RED'S DREAM" and "ONE MAN BAND" are unique. If you want to watch PIXAR's animation, these two are not to be missed.
