Sinopsis(1)

Reseñas (2)
An excellent short from Pixar, One Man Band, appeared in movie theaters as a supporting feature with Cars. With just 4 minutes of running time, it manages to make you laugh, it entertains and contributes to a positive mood. This time it depicts the struggle between two street musicians for a little girl’s coin.

If we overlook the rather illogical and actually quite bad Czech title, beneath this short film lies another treasure from Pixar. At first, it seems like just a duel between two warriors, or rather, musicians, but the creators once again manage to surprise with a punchline that is amusing, yet also delightfully cruel. This is something that fits perfectly into an animation and in this case, it works well. Furthermore, the setting is once again chosen perfectly. I personally prefer Pixar shorts that are not derived from their feature films.
