Pixar Popcorn

Some of these shorts are quite fun but most of these are quite bland and the lack of voices are really noticeable. The Soul one was particularly bad since it was literally trailer shots reused for the short. The Incredibles ones & the 2nd Ducky/Bunny one are particularly great.

My parents have absolutely despised each other for as long as I can remember, screaming vulgarities at each other on the regular. That is why I'm happy Pixar popcorn has come to make me feel happy after my deadbeat father and excuse of a mother have finally split. Thanks, Pixar. You're my new parents from now on.

This is a series of very short films that usually have a cute gag or two in them. I watched them all in about 30 minutes and none really stay with you. I think the problem is the shorts are left over gags from the films-apparently at least. The animation doesn't seem quite as polished as normal. Moreover, the shorts have very little dialog, voicework. That seem less a commitment to being cinematic than a budget decision to not pay Tom Hanks again.

These short films are decently cute and fun but completely pointless. Nearly zero dialogue. The ducky and bunny episodes are the only ones with actual talking. I was looking forward to these but pretty underwhelmed. Something seems off or different with the animation as well. It's not terrible or unwatchable, but noticeably different than the quality from the respective movies. I'd say if you're a hardcore Pixar fan they're still worth a quick watch. You can watch all of them in about twenty minutes. But don't expect them to add anything meaningful to the story or any character development. They're okay for what they are.

When I first heard that Pixar would release some new shorts, I was expecting something along the lines of the five-minute shorts they usually produce. I was disappointed to find out that these are microscopic skits that don't really add anything to the original films. "Popcorn" is not a good title; perhaps "leftover crumbs" would be more accurate. My favourite was the Incredibles doing their chores with their powers. But even at its best, I feel that Pixar's labour would still be better spent just producing more great films instead of these harmless but pointless diversions.
