� The Adventures of Andr� & Wally B. � From the legendary Lucas Films, a delightful look at the

(Andr�).
� Luxo Jr. - A baby lamp finds a ball to play with and it�s all fun and games until the ball bursts. Just
when the elder Luxo thinks his kid will settle down for a bit, Luxo Jr. finds another ball � ten times
larger.
� Tin Toy - Babies are hardly monster-like, unless you�re a toy. After escaping a drooling baby, Tinny
realizes that he wants to be played with after all. But in the amount of time it takes him to discover
this, the baby�s attention moves on to other things only an infant could find interesting. (1988 Academy
Award� Winner for Best Animated Short Film)
� Red�s Dream - Life as the sole sale item in the clearance corner of Eben�s Bikes can get lonely. So
Red, a unicycle, dreams up a clown owner and his own juggling act that steals the show. But all too
soon, the applause turns into the sound of rainfall, as reality rushes back. Red must resign himself to
sitting in the corner and await his fate.
� Knick Knack � Life on a shelf as a snowman trapped in a snow-globe blizzard can become wearing,
especially when you're surrounded by knickknacks from sunnier locales. When the jaded snowman
finally breaks free of his glass home, his vacation plans are cut short. (Music by Bobby McFerrin)
� Geri�s Game � An aging codger named Geri plays a daylong game of chess in the park against
himself. Somehow, he begins losing to his livelier opponent. But just when the game�s nearly over,
Geri manages to turn the tables. (1997 Academy Award� Winner for Best Animated Short Film)
� For The Birds -One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together
has problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird who tries to join them. � Mike�s New Car - When Mike shows off his new car to his Monsters, Inc. co-star Sulley, everything
that can go wrong does, and they are left with only their own two feet for transportation. (2002
Academy Award� Nominee for Best Animated Short Film)
� Boundin� � On a high mountain plain lives a lamb with a wool coat of such remarkable sheen that he
breaks into high-steppin� dance. But there comes a day when he loses his lustrous coat and, along
with it, his pride. It takes a wise jackalope � a horn-adorned rabbit � to teach the moping lamb that
woolly or not, it�s what�s inside that�ll help him rebound from life�s troubles. (2003 Academy Award Nominee� for Best Animated Short Film)
� Jack-Jack Attack � When babysitter Kari McKean tries to entertain Jack-Jack Parr (of The
Incredibles) with some �brainy baby� music, she triggers an unusual reaction.

him not to play pranks on the other cars in Radiator Springs.
� One Man Band - One Man Band tells the humorously captivating tale of a peasant girl who, with one
coin to make a wish at a piazza fountain, encounters two competing street musicians who�d prefer the
coin find its way into their tip jars. As the rivalry crescendos, the two overly eager performers vie to
win the little girl's attention. (2005 Academy Award Nominee� for Best Animated Short Film)
