Favorite Pixar Short Film
Thought about this while posting in the Ratatouille thread about Lifted. So, what's your favorite Pixar short?
I left out the made for DVD ones since the poll only allows 10 choices, but feel free to comment if you prefer one of those the best.
Me, my favorite is still For the Birds.

Knick Knack (the snowman in the snowglobe) is my choice. More clever and funny than all the rest.
Boundin' is my second favorite--just heartfelt and goofy and I like the southwest scenery and the lyrical narration.

I voted for Boundin' but I equally enjoyed Geri's Game.
I don't recall ever seeing One Man Band or Red's Dream.

I voted Knick Knack because, not only is it a great short, but seeing it (along with Tin Toy) in an "Animation Celebration" movie in 1990 made me aware of Pixar for the first time and what they were doing in Computer Animation.

Knick Knack--I've seen it tons of times and still love it.

My favorite would have to be the one you left off the poll...
I really, really like the History of the Rat short on the Ratatouille dvd. It's hilarious all the way through, and I love the way they use the format/animation of the old Disney educational shorts. It's pretty much 10 minutes of perfection.

mine too - although there's a smidgen of computer generated animation, it's great to see it's pretty much all 2D cel animation. For the record it's title is: 'Your Friend the Rat'

Boundin' is my favorite. It's a credit to Pixar that they can breathe such life into a simple message of 'Don't worry, be happy'. It also reminds me of my second all-time favorite Disney attraction - Splash Mountain.
