I'd rather see it on DVD/HD/BR instead of streaming video.

Great visuals but otherwise I thought it was crap. Not funny and no narrative. compare it 'Boundin' and you can see how far Pixar have sunk.

piscatorius, it might not be quite as good as Boundin, but if you went to see the amazing Ratatouille, then you'd know your statement is ridiculous. These shorts are usually basically test beds for new technologies, pipelines and methods that they are using for the next movie. Which for this, I suppose means next year's Wall-E.

Did anyone else notice at the end during the credits... The guy wakes up and falls off into the crater. While falling he lets out the "Wilhem Scream"

well spotted unsung! "The Wilhelm scream is often used for when a character is plummeting to a great distance, usually falling off a ledge. Its use in the Star Wars films was the beginning of something of an in-joke among some sound designers of the film industry, especially at Skywalker Sound, and Weddington Productions (now a division of Technicolor Sound Services). They continued to try to incorporate it into movies wherever feasible; action movies are naturals, but film sound cognoscenti are particularly impressed when it is used naturally in films such as A Star Is Born (with Judy Garland), The Wild Bunch and A Goofy Movie."

Sketch. I think when they wrote 'Boundin' they showed an appreciation of the art of the short film, that's completely missing here. This is all about technology. Great narrative is one of Pixar's hallmarks and it's absence here is notable. Boundin by any standards of technology is a great short film because its so well written, not because of its cutting edge visuals.

Just because it doesn't win awards at Cannes does not make it "crap," piscatorius.
