La Luna (2011 film) A young boy, Bambino, goes on a midnight sailing trip with his father Papà and grandfather Nonno.
After they anchor their boat in the middle of the sea, Nonno presents Bambino with a cap similar to the ones he and Papà wear. The two men disagree on how Bambino should wear it, with Papà pulling it low over his eyes and Nonno pushing it back on his head. Papà sets up a long ladder for Bambino to climb so he can set the boat's anchor on the full moon, and the three ascend to start their work of sweeping fallen stars off the lunar surface. Papà urges Bambino to use a pushbroom on the stars, while Nonno favors a besom broom. As they quarrel, a huge star crashes down on the moon; it is far too large for any of them to move by themselves.

Day & Night (2010 film) Day & Night is a Pixar animated short film, directed by Teddy Newton and produced by Kevin Reher.[1] It was packaged to be shown in theaters before Toy Story 3,[2] and has been released to purchase on iTunes in the United States.[3] Day & Night follows two anthropomorphic characters, Day and Night.
Inside Day is a day scene with a sun in the center, and inside Night is a night scene with a moon in the center. Whatever goes on inside of Day or Night expresses normal events that typically occur within a day or night, respectively, and these events often correspond with actions or emotions that the characters Day or Night express. For example, when Day is happy he will have a rainbow inside him, and when Night is happy he will have fireworks inside him. Day and Night meet and at first are uneasy about each other. The short uses a novel effect of combining 2D and 3D animation. Day and Night. Partly Cloudy. In a CGSociety article, Sohn says his idea for the film came from watching Dumbo as a child: in the movie, a stork delivers Dumbo, leading a young Sohn to wonder where the birds got their babies from.
His conclusion was that the babies came from clouds, hence flying animals being needed to deliver them. Plot[edit] All day long, cheerful clouds in the sky make cute and cuddly babies, such as human boys and girls, kittens, puppies, and other creatures, and give them to storks for delivery to the expectant parents. However, one lonely gray cloud named Gus has the task of creating animals that are cute but not so cuddly. Partly Cloudy.
Presto (film) Presto is a 2008 American Pixar computer-animated short film shown in theaters before their feature length film WALL-E.
The short is about a magician trying to perform a show with his uncooperative rabbit and is a gag-filled homage to classic cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes. Presto was directed by veteran Pixar animator Doug Sweetland, in his directorial debut. The original idea for the short was a magician who incorporated a rabbit into his act who suffered from stage fright. This was considered to be too long and complicated, and the idea was reworked. To design the theater featured in Presto, the filmmakers visited several Opera Houses and theaters for set design ideas. Reaction to the short was very positive, and reviewers of WALL-E's home media release considered it to be an enjoyable special feature. In the opening shot, Alec is shown desperately stretching for an out-of-reach carrot.
PRESTO. Lifted (2006 film) A young alien, Stu, is inside a spacecraft taking an examination in alien abduction.
He must snatch a sleeping farmer named Ernie (who bears a striking resemblance to Linguini, the main human protagonist from Ratatouille) under the watchful eye of his impassive examiner, a gelatinous blob named Mr. B.[2] Working from memory, Stu is expected to use an array of thousands of unlabeled toggle switches for this purpose and Mr. B gives no hints of which one(s) to use.
Stu's hesitant flicks of the switches turn out to be wrong, causing Ernie to bump into the walls and ceiling, but not waking him up. Lifted. One Man Band (film) Andrew Jimenez in 2006.
