Gordon-11 This short animated film tells the story of a magician and his rabbit. They have to perform a magic trick on stage, but the rabbit is not cooperating in the show because the magician has not fed him."Presto" is short but it is really funny! The rabbit is just really funny. His facial expressions are very rich. The magician's endless tricks are entertaining. Their feud on stage is super hilarious. I love this animation.

Armand it is the first word. not the most inspired because Pixar ambition remains to transform all in magic. and in this case the case is solves. a magician, a rabbit and a carrot. and the show is complete, seductive, nice, hilarious, bitter and perfect. tricks, allusions, the poor man, the clever rabbit the final scene. all as pieces of a crazy run for success. the air of circus, the nice story, the details. and Wall - E the best second side. because it is only a story about need of success and illusion, about feelings and innocence. and, sure, about friendship. a lovely short animation who could remembers the hours of childhood. just a show, mixture of imagination and impeccable technique. that is all. or, maybe not. but for discover that , it is useful to see it .

Jackson Booth-Millard This short film started just before the main Disney Pixar film at the cinema, WALL-E. Basically Alec the rabbit, that Presto stage magician will pull out of his magic top hat, has not been fed, and he refuses to go ahead with the act until he has eaten the near carrot. So whenever Presto reaches into his top hat, which the other side comes out of another little wizard hat, the rabbit makes him pull out something else in a little clever revenge on his co-star. Through the hat, Alec makes Presto bang his hand, pull out a mouse trap, an egg which splats in his face, suck his head in, pull his own trousers off and go up a huge ladder. Presto decides to smash the carrot, but Alec gets his own back by electrocuting him, until they go upstairs, and Presto accidentally hangs his feet up high, and it snaps. Alec saves him though with the hat, and he falls out the other side safe, a huge applause from the audience, and as a thank you for saving him, Presto gives the rabbit his carrot, and the poster becomes both of them together. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Short Animated Film (I think it should it won). Very good!

ccthemovieman-1 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.
