Your Friend the Rat

In three parts first is upper.

Your Friend the Rat is Pixar's first short film to feature traditional animation. At 11 minutes, it is also the longest Pixar short to date. Along with 2D animation, the short also includes stop-motion animation, computer generated imagery (CGI) and live action, much like the children's television show,A Little Curious. Like the feature length film on which it is based, Your Friend the Rat also features a musical sequence.

The short takes on the form of an educational film and stars Remy and Emile, two brown rats who argue for the reconciliation of humans and rats. They use historical facts presented to various styles of animation, as well as biased nonsense.

Your Friend the Rat won the Best Animated Short Subject category at the 35th annual Annie Awards and was released on DVD and Blu-ray with Disney·Pixar's Ratatouille (November 6, 2007).

Mike's New Car

Mike's New Car is a 2002 Pixar animated short, starring the two main characters from Monsters, Inc., Mike and Sulley. Directed by Pete Docter and Roger Gould, it is the first Pixar short to utilize dialogue and the first to take characters and situations from a previously established work.

It received an Academy Award nomination (Best Animated Short Film in 2002) and was included in the 2002 DVD release of Monsters Inc. The DVD release features commentary by "Docter and Gould", which turn out to be the directors' young children.

Knick Knack
Knick Knack is a computer animated short film produced by Pixar, and directed by John Lasseter. It was released in 1989, and was the last short film produced by Pixar until the success of their full-length motion picture Toy Story (1995). It was also the first of the company's animations to be originally shot in 3D.^[1] The accompanying score consists of a cappella vocal jazz composed and performed by Bobby McFerrin.

Tin Toy

Tin Toy is a 1988 short film using computer animation. It was directed by John Lasseter and produced by Pixar. It was the first testing of PhotoRealistic RenderMan. This was the only Pixar short rendered on the RM-1 computer, which was never sold to the public and was based on an earlier rendering machine named the Reyes Machine, an ambitious hardware project meant to develop a RenderMan specific computer (ILM also tested it in a ride film). The short was attached in the 2000 home video release of Toy Story.

For the Birds

For the Birds is an animated short film, produced by Pixar and released in 2000. It was shown alongside a theatrical release of the 2001 Disney/Pixar feature film Monsters, Inc. It is also available on the first disc of the two-disc set of Monsters, Inc.

This marks the first time John Lasseter served as an Executive Producer, after he directed Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Toy Story 2.
