The funniest thing Pixar's released to date!, 27 juin 2008
Auteur : Tommy Nelson de Long Beach, California
To go with Pixar's most perfect movie, we're treated to a 5 minute short before the picture starts. Presto is beautifully animated, looking just as good as a full length animated picture would, and also, like the movie it was shown with, Wall-E, it has no dialogue, yet still comes off brilliantly. It induced more laughs than any other full length film I've seen this year.
Presto is a magician. He's late to work and forgets to feed his rabbit who he's about to use for a trick. Presto has a hat where anything that goes into the hat comes out of another hat. Rebelling against Presto, the rabbit refuses to be pulled from the hat and tries to make the magician look bad. Chaos ensues, as do many belly laughs, which have never been produced in me to this magnitude from a cartoon.
This was one of Pixar's best shorts. It was the perfect length with the perfect amount of jokes, mostly slapstick, which caused some real laughter from me, and the entire audience. The animation was vibrant and colorful, and the way it had a nice glow to it, similar to the way Ratatouille looks (I don't know how to explain it). Never has a crotch hit been more expertly thought out, and never have I laughed harder at an animation as I did with this little gem.
My rating: **** out of ****. 6 mins.

What a Delightful Toon!, 22 juillet 2008
Auteur : zgamer-1 de Etats-Unis
Pixar is the new Disney (as in the good Disney of old). They continue to make quality stories, push boundaries of visual design capabilities and, above all, charm audiences young and old. The same holds with Presto, the team's latest short cartoon which played before each screening of Wall-E. In it, a hungry rabbit, upset his magician owner will not give him the carrot promised to him, decides to sabotage the show in a variety of increasingly humorous ways until he gets it. What makes this simple premise shine is the clever slapstick gags, great characters and the overall sweet tone throughout the film. It's just pure and simple cartoon fun that sets the right tone for the film after it. The absence of dialogue actually makes the whole thing funnier, as their are no corny lines to ruin the enjoyment like in most non-Pixar cartoons. I highly recommend buying it on iTunes or seeing Wall-E just to make sure yo get to experience it.

Tricks Are For Everyone, 29 juin 2008
Auteur : boblipton de New York City
As any fan of Pixar's animated films know, when they send a new feature out, they include a short cartoon with it. PRESTO is the film that precedes WALL-E and it is a silent picture.
A good part of the publicity surrounding WALL-E is that it is largely a silent film. But PRESTO is wholly one, concerning a stage magician, his carrot-hungry rabbit and a piece of real magic: a top-hot that is connected to a dunce cap. The magician can put his hand into the top hat and draw out things from the dunce cap. And, as is traditional, he intends to pull out the rabbit, but the rabbit, who resembles the rabbit in the TRIX cereal commercials, is upset that he is not getting any carrot, and sabotages the act in various amusing ways using the logic of the set-up.
A very amusing cartoon, and Pixar is to be commended for continuing to develop animation talent in its short subjects.

And for my next trick..., 21 septembre 2008
Auteur : ackstasis de Australie
For the theatrical release of 'WALL•E (2008),' Pixar Studios continues that lovely time-honoured tradition of preceding the main feature with an amusing animated short. Not only that, but they've developed one of their best, second only to the mini-masterpiece that is 'Geri's Game (1997).' A hilarious throw-back to the classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons – such that we can almost envision Bugs in a starring role – 'Presto (2008)' concerns itself with the art of magic. When an uptight stage magician, Presto DiGiotagione, neglects to feed his hungry rabbit, Alec Azam, the malnourished pet mischievously decides to exact revenge on his owner, with the help of two magic hats and no shortage of dangerous backstage implements. Each time Presto attempts to pull the rabbit from his top hat, his hand emerges clutching all sorts of painful contraptions, from mouse traps to live electrical wires to an entire ladder. His performance already in tatters, the red-faced magician tries even harder to convince the rabbit to cooperate, his every action only making matters worse.
'Presto' was directed by Doug Sweetland, a long-serving animator at Pixar, in his directorial debut. Entirely wordless, as most of Pixar's shorts are, the film relies on terrific visuals and sound effects to provide the humour, though this effort is notably less reliant on sound effects than the previous 'Lifted (2006)' {which, appropriately, was directed by sound effects whiz Gary Rydstrom}. Working with a simple scenario, 'Presto' begins with relatively minor sight gags, gradually upping the ante until all hell breaks loose on-stage, and the hapless magician finds himself strung high above the ground. Obviously, the audience finds all this utterly magnificent, and Presto – however battered and bruised – is only too happy to accept this gracious applause. Some may find all this to be rather mean-spirited, but certainly no more so than Bugs Bunny when he got Elmer Fudd in his sights, and children will definitely find the rabbit's hilarious antics to be uproariously entertaining. This is a delicious cinematic appetiser from the best in the business.

An Amazing Five Minutes Of Anitmated Fun, 7 décembre 2008
Auteur : ccthemovieman-1 de Lockport, NY, Etats-Unis
*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***
This is a terrific little theatrical cartoon which came with the WALL-E DVD. This is extremely inventive, and so frenetic it's almost too much but lends itself to numerous viewings to catch all the great sight gags. In fact, after I viewed it, I watched again. It's an amazing five minutes. It should win some awards.
"Presto" is a magician. His big act is pulling things - mainly a rabbit - out of his top hat. However, there is a problem. The rabbit wants the carrot that is a available. He's hungry, and without that snack, he is not going to help Presto perform his act.....and that's what happens. The magician, who was running a bit late, doesn't want to bother to feed the poor animal (as if it would take time!) and the little hungry bunny makes him pay the price by sabotaging his act.
How he makes the magician pay, I won't spoil by saying (even though I put spoiler warnings on this.) Suffice to say, the gags are funny and brutal, at the same time. However, things work out in the end because the people in the audience have no clue that all the mayhem isn't staged, and they think it's a great act! This is a good old fashioned "slapstick" short film with great, colorful and detailed animation. In fact, it is one of the best Pixar shorts I have seen, which says a lot since that company already has produced so many outstanding animated feature stories and shorts.
Considering Doug Sweetland is behind this effort, it's no surprise that it excels. Sweetland was the supervising animator on "Cars," and many of these great Pixar movies and shorts. He is talented man.

excellent, uproarious throwback to 40's Disney shorts, with a touch of Looney Tunes, 28 juin 2008
Auteur : MisterWhiplash de Etats-Unis
*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***
This is a wonderful homage/recreation of the kinds of shorts kids used to go ape over back in the 1940s. It starts off with the opening titles, which are a direct reference to those shorts of old (not like the usual PIXAR shorts). Then it thrusts into the situation with total glee: a magician is having trouble with his rabbit for a very simple reason- the rabbit wants its carrot NOW, and won't get it. Then a series of totally over the top gags occur, making the usual rabbit-out-of-the-hat trick seem like kid's stuff in comparison. While it's ingenious and clever and all that and a bag of carrots, it's also a good mini-homage to the spirit of Looney Tunes shorts. There isn't too much missing except to replace Bugs in place of the cute white rabbit. Its sweetness is quintessential Disney stuff though, and its a great little addition at the start of WALL*E. Don't miss it!

Pleasant surprise, hope they include it on Wall-E DVD, 6 juillet 2008
Auteur : Meg de Canada
I didn't do my research. Had I come to IMDb before seeing Wall-E, I would have known that we would be seeing Presto. It's a great Looney Tunes style short that pits a rabbit against his magician, all for a carrot. It actually had me laughing. Not just chuckling, but laughing and since you can't see the original Looney Tunes I used to love, it was a refreshing change to have a short cartoon do that for me. I'd almost forgotten what it was like. The animation is much better than the old favourites, but not quite as detailed as something like Shrek or even Wall-E itself. They keep it simple and light on its feet. Works perfectly in my opinion. I would gladly sit through Presto again if I went to see Wall-E a second time.

Simply magic, 21 juillet 2008
Auteur : Mr Ben de Hampshire, England
Whatever it is about Pixar, I cannot help myself falling in love with them every time I see one of their short films. Running a short film in front of their major cinema releases is a stroke of genius and they seem to keep getting better and better every time I go. "Presto" is a fantastic short film, feeling very much like a "Tom & Jerry" on a big screen. I've talked before about Pixar's attempt at resurrecting the old Hollywood tradition of screening cartoons before the main picture and long it may continue, if they are all as brilliantly funny as this.
In essence, "Presto" is a classic battle between a stage magician and his hungry rabbit, seeking revenge during his master's act for not feeding him a juicy carrot. How? Well, you'd be amazed at what you can do with a couple of magic hats and impeccable timing!
I honestly can't remember laughing so much at the cinema - certainly laughing hard enough to provoke a sharp dig in the ribs from my embarrassed Better Half! Finding the perfect balance of humour that appeals to both kids and adults is never easy but Pixar are starting to make it look like child's play. The only real criticism of "Presto" is that it is much funnier than it's main feature, "Wall-E" (though that is simply magnificent as well but for different reasons). But complaining that one film is funnier than another is madness. Quite frankly, if you don't go to the movies to watch both this and "Wall-E" then I will hunt you down and slap you very hard across the face. Go. Go now! Run!

The best short from Disney and pixar yet., 27 juin 2008
Auteur : KentHandlet de phoenix
wildly entertaining. very cute. and very exciting. all with no dialogue.
the quick story is really clever too.
again, a very very funny short film. kids will love it, and so will adults, and so will you.
it will win an Oscar. you'll see.
gotta love Disney and pixar. they always provide. and keep getting better. Presto really upped the scale for future DP short films.
i thought that presto was just the perfect appetizer for Wall E. it really gets you in the mood to laugh at the very charlie chaplin humor.

The best Pixar short yet!, 27 juin 2008
Auteur : soodynem de a secret place
*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***
Pixar has done it again. As usual, I enjoyed the short film almost as much as the actual movie(in this case, the excellent WALL*E). Even if the movie had not been what it was, I would still recommend seeing it just to see this wonderful little short about a famous magician, his reluctant rabbit, and a magical hat. The short's animation was literally stunning and the comedy could not have been better. It was even presented like an old fashioned cartoon, and it sometimes felt like I was watching one.
If you don't like movies about garbage heaping robots or Mac products, see WALL*E anyway to see this short. It will not disappoint.
