Pixar Short Films Collection 2 [DVD/Blu-Ray]

Pixar shorts are the best. The only thing better is when those shorts are compiled together in a fabulous collection of animated fun. Pixar Short Films Collection 2 will be available to own on Blu-ray and DVD on November 13, 2012.

This new collection includes 12 short films from Disney/Pixar. The short I was most looking forward to seeing is La Luna since I wasn’t able to see it when it was in theaters this summer. It was so cute! The highlight of our evening watching this was seeing my daughter crack up hysterically during Dug’s Special Mission – she’s such a nut! Seven rarely seen student films from the directors are also included as bonus material.

The short films included on the disc(s) are:

• BURN•E – BURN•E is a dedicated, hard working robot that finds himself locked out of his ship and quickly learns that completing a simple task can often be a difficult endeavor. Based on characters from ‘WALL•E.’ (Directed by: Angus MacLane)
• Dug’s Special Mission – In this funny short based on the character from ‘Up,’ Dug is sent on a foolish mission by Alpha, Beta and Gamma so that they can hunt for the Bird of Paradise Falls by themselves. Soon Dug discovers that where he belongs is not where he’s been looking. (Directed by: Ronnie del Carmen)
• George & AJ – Inspired by Carl’s escape, senior citizens around the city unite to make their own “escapes,” much to the chagrin of George and A.J., in this short that features characters from ‘Up.’ (Directed by: Josh Cooley)
• Air Mater – In this hilarious short, Mater decides he wants to learn how to fly and is accidently recruited by an elite group of formation flyers, the Falcon Hawks. (Directed by: Rob Gibbs)
• Time Travel Mater – When a clock lands on Mater’s engine, he travels back in time to 1910 where he meets Stanley, the founder of Radiator Springs. (Directed by: Rob Gibbs)

As Woody and the gang devise a way to rescue their friend, Buzz tries to escape the toy psychotherapy meeting. (Directed by: Angus MacLane)
