Pixar Short Films Collection
Disney, $30 (DVD)

Ever wonder why the start of every Pixar film features a jaunty, bouncing desk lamp accompanying the company logo? Here's your chance to see Luxo, Jr., the computer-animated short that began the studio's legacy of excellence. This disc serves as a mini film festival, featuring 13 Pixar shorts, five Academy Award nominees, and three Oscar winners among them. A couple are directly connected to Pixar features, like Cars and Monsters Inc., but most offer up new fantasy worlds of their own—and the five minutes you spend in each will be a memorable visit.—Ages 3 and up
