Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
While Pixar Animation Studios was creating beloved feature-length films such as Monsters Inc. , Ratatouille , and WALLE , it was simultaneously testing animation and storytelling techniques in dozens of memorable short films. Andre and Wally B proved that computer animation was possible; Tin Toy laid the groundwork for what would become Toy Story ; and Mike's New Car exposed Pixar's finely tuned funny bone. In The Art of Pixar Short Films , animation expert and short film devotee Amid Amidi shines a spotlight on these and many more memorable vignettes from the Pixar archive. Essays andinterviews illuminate more than 250 full-color pastels, pencil sketches, storyboards, and final rendered frames that were the foundation of Pixar's creative process.
