Toy Story Toons: Partysaurus Rex

Love Pixar, feature films, really like to love most of their feature films, and short films, don't dislike any of their shorts. Their best are masterpieces and even lesser efforts, my least favourite overall being 'Cars 3', are never below mediocre and have at least four good things (best asset being the animation). Consider all three 'Toy Story' films among their best, while the first is one of their most overall ground-breaking my personal favourite and the one that connected with me the most was the third.

All three Toy Story Toons television shorts are well worth watching. Of the three, personally put 'Partysaurus Rex' in the middle. The best being 'Hawaiian Vacation' and the weakest 'Small Fry'. None of the three are on the same level as the feature films, understandable as the budget was lower and there were tighter time constraints. For anybody that loved the first 'Toy Story' film and its sequels, the three Toy Story Toons shorts are well worth watching and more and are pretty darn impressive for television short films.

Would have liked a longer length and the pace occasionally could have tightened.

However, continue to have no qualms at all with the animation and actually consider it the best looking of the three short films. . Such beautiful attention to detail in the backgrounds and the character designs and the colours are so vibrant. The music more than serves its purpose well, with the right amount of energy and charming orchestration.

From beginning to end the writing excels, with some wonderfully witty dialogue from especially Rex, and all the numerous gags hit the mark. This is one colourful party that one would be more than to be invited to with no regrets. Rex is a more than compelling as a lead character and is as just as strong in a more prominent as he is a scene-stealing supporting role. Loved the voice acting again, Wallace Shawn taking top honours this time.

Altogether, very well done. 8/10
