When my parent’s were kids their theatre experience included an animated short before the film. This practice was lost between their childhood and mine. I grew up with Bugs Bunny but on Saturday morning, not in the movie theatre. Currently there is no great outlet for the short video format on the silver screen. Short form video is relegated to podcasts and youtube (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Pixar Studios has been trying for years if not to bring back this lost art at least to make us appreciate it. When you go to see one of the pixar films like Wall-E you are treated to a short Pixar featurette before the main attraction. The latest of these short stories is “Presto”. It is the story of a magician, a hungry magician’s bunny and a couple of magic hats. There is no dialog which is good because you will be laughing to hard to hear dialog anyway.
