List of Pixar Shorts

This is a list of Pixar shorts. Beginning with Pixar's second film A Bug's Life, all subsequent Pixar feature films have been shown along with a theatrically-released Pixar-created short. Other Pixar shorts, released only on home media, were created to showcase what Pixar can do (either technologically or cinematically), or were created specifically therefor a client.

In 1986 Pixar made x test films ranging 10 to 20 seconds in length but they were Beach Chair and Flags and Waves they might very well be a test from unproduced shorts.

The first shorts were made while Pixar was still a computer hardware company, when John Lasseter was the only professional animator in the company's tiny animation department. Starting with Geri's Game, after Pixar had turned into an animation studio, all the later shorts have been produced with a larger crew and budget.

In 1991 Pixar made a special CGI cartoon produced for the TV series Sesame Street. The cartoon illustrates different weights and directions starring Luxo Jr. and Luxo. Contains 4 segments: "Surprise", "Light and Heavy", "Up and Down", and "Front and Back."

Also, beginning with A Bug's Life, Pixar has created extra content for each of their films that is not part of the main story. For their early theatrical releases, this content was in the form of "movie outtakes" and appeared as part of the movie's credits. For each of their films since Monsters, Inc. (Finding Nemo and Toy Story 3 excluded), this content was a short made exclusively for the DVD release of the film. As of 2010, all of the short films except BURN-E and Dug's Special Mission are available to purchase on Apple's iTunes Store.
