PixMinis Episode 15: Presto

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 2008 Pixar short Presto which was paired up with the movie WALL-E. Presto is about a rabbit named Alec Azam who wishes to get a carrot from his master Presto DiGiotagione, a magician who is about to perform a magic act in front of a live audience. Alec isn't happy that he's being ignored so he humiliates Presto by refusing to be pulled out of the magic hat and puts him through pain and agony.   The short was praised by critics and fans saying that it was just as good as WALL-E and a great humorous appetizer for the quiet, atmospheric film it was paired up with. It was nominated for an Academy Award and an Annie for Best Animated Short Film. What did Arun and Patricia think of the short? Listen and find out.
