Video: “Presto”
Doug Sweetland’s brilliant addition to Pixar’s short film library, “Presto,” which played in front of “WALL-E” is now available to watch online.
The harmless romp features Presto the magician who neglects his super hungry bunny, Alec Azam, without thinking of the consequences. Alec has a trick or two up his own sleeve and gets his revenge on Presto by messing up his intricate hat trick. The slapstick ode was inspired by Warner Brothers cartoon such as “Tom and Jerry.” “Presto” easily ranks as one of my favourite Pixar shorts of all time, and for those who have not seen it, you can watch it right here. And for those of you who have seen it, I doubt you would not want to see it again.

Love the short, but I’m having a hard time getting it to work myself. It keeps showing other things, even on my blog. Oh well.

LOL, I actually think the vid was taken down, and that’s why our vids refuse to work.

Yeah I had the same problem with both of your embeds. Oh well, nice try. It’ll be up again at some point.

Oh well, looks like I have more of an excuse to see “WALL-E” again.

I know right! I wish the video clip worked, but it costs so little to download from iTunes anyway {$ 1.99} – and I think its worth it. If you don’t want to wait for the DVD of “WALL-E” that is.

Anne Thompson had it up but it started with so many friggin ads, I was filled with consumer rage and gave up.
I’ll just have to see it again in theaters.

Ditto, I guess we all have to see it in theatres. That’s not a bad thing, I don’t think.
I would download it, but iTunes doesn’t have a SA store. Buggers.
