Pixar's Short Films
#281

Awesome short! It’s definetly on my top 3.
very very funny! :smiley:

#282

Lifted is one of my favorite Pixar Shorts :stuck_out_tongue: it was/is hilarious. Plot setup and lack of talking was pretty well crafted too. :astonished:

#283

I think it was awesome, and the Wilhelm scream at the end made it complete! :smiley: I only noticed it the second time though :stuck_out_tongue:

#284

Can I just ask something? I live in the UK and LIFTED isn’t available in the iTunes Store as a short film :frowning: It is in the US Store but not the UK one :frowning:

Anyone know why?

#285

I loved it–and, the human apparently IS Linguini–well, from what I guessed. The plot sounds amazing too…

#286

Haha while I was watching Ratatouille I was like “Hmm, Linguini looks familier…”

#287

Or Linguini’s related to that guy.

#288

Twins! No, seriously, I’m sure they used Linguini’s model for the short. :slight_smile:

#289

Linguini has a twin in a random place in the Midwest! :slight_smile:

So GLAD to know that Lifted’s Director, Gary Rydstrom, is working on the new Toy Story Short (chair director), can’t wait to listen to its audio commentaries during the process of the short film

will he hide any NEWT easter egg???.. I do hope

I think the human in Lifted was an early version of Linguini’s model. Funny story: when I saw this short in theaters with Ratatouille in '07, I didn’t realize the short and film were completely separate and that it was Linguini, and was wondering if his mom died in the story because of the UFO in Lifted. 8D

^ That’s awesome. 8D I thought it was the same model, but it never occured to me that it may have been the same character.

#293

I say his mother was born French, had an affair with some guy from Kansas behind Gusteau’s back and during her trip home to Paris, she secretly gave birth and raised the kid without Gusteau knowing. After Gusteau’s death, with her death soon following, she hid the child somewhere in the rural Midwest, wrote a secret letter and ran back to her house to die in peace, but not without guilt for her affair. Skinner found the letter years later (in his office) but only read the parts about Linguini inheriting Gusteau’s, forgetting to read the bottom halfs about his brother. Linguini would do the same, thereby ensuring his dead mother got away with it and he never found out. The UFO short was from an alien adult reliving his childhood, entrusted in capturing Linguini’s brother.

…catch my drift? Or is it too confusing? :wink:

Saw this the other day for the first time in a while. Couldn’t get over how funny it is 8D
