I love those little movies that come on before the Pixar films, you know, the ones like the birds on the wire?
I was excited to see that Pixar now has them all on a DVD that came out on November 6, 2007.
Pixar Short Films Collection - Vol. 1 includes 13 movies, three of which are Academy Award® winners and five additional nominees .
The list:
1. "THE ADVENTURES OF ANDRE AND WALLY B." (1984, Lucasfilm). After blue humanoid André is awakened in a forest by a pesky bee, he tries to escape. But the bee (named Wally B.) chases after him, and both characters run off screen. Finally, Wally reappears with a bent stinger.
