PixMinis Episode 11: One Man Band

In preparation for the release of Soul on Disney+, Arun and Patricia decide to do a spinoff of PixMix called PixMinis where they look back on a Pixar short every day until December 25th.    In this episode, they look back on the 2005 Pixar short film One Man Band which paired up with Cars. The short is about a little girl about to put a coin in the fountain when two poor musicians play music to get the girl to give one of them the coin. The tension rises as the musicians bring in more instruments to entice the girl to give them the coin. The short was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, but lost to The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation. When Patricia and Arun first saw the short, they thought it was better than Cars. Do they still think that's true? Listen and find out.
