Pixar Short Films - Lifted

Movies

One of my favorite Shorts I first saw in theaters was Boundin?. This 2004 Short looked good then, but in no way did that large-scale presentation even begin to approach the clarity, sharpness or impact of how beautiful it looks on Blu-ray Disc. There are no flaws to be found, anywhere, from up close or afar. The same can be said for all of Pixar?s Shorts on this disc. Brad Bird spoke the truth when he said Blu-ray Disc allowed Pixar animation to be viewed as it should be for the first time outside of Pixar?s studio. These Shorts represent reference quality video.

Pixar has been known for outstanding audio as well as picture quality thanks to the amazing work of Oscar-winning sound designer Gary Rydstrom. The 48 kHz/24-bit 5.1 uncompressed mix on this Blu-ray Disc pushes Gary?s effects to new levels of realism and immersion. Surrounds and LFE are explosive and expansive when called upon, and the variety of strange, quirky voices from Pixar?s unique characters are spot-on accurate with no distortion or imbalance with the effects or score. There?s no better feeling watching an anticipated disc and stumbling upon reference video and audio, which the Pixar Shorts Collection, Volume 1 delivers in spades.
