Unfortunately, the name “Mr. B” has been forever tainted for me by watching the 50s-60s era short,
“Mr. B. Natural” on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Now whenever I hear the
name “Mr. B” I picture a spritely blonde woman who is dressed like a music-themed Peter Pan and is
altogether too happy…
On topic, though, I love the pictures - Stu
especially reminds me of Flubber in the way that it is gelatinous and slightly transparent-looking… I can’t
wait to see this one. It looks like it might rank quite highly on my favorite Pixar shorts list.

KE - Ohh…that’s too bad.
I hate it when mental images replace particular names, places, etc…after one views them, so I know what you
mean. Maybe you’ll think of the alien when hearing the name “Mr. B” after watching
Lifted… 
As for me, I have the Disney Channel show
That’s So Raven stuck in my head…due to the fact that Eddie (one of the actors)
calls Raven’s dad by the name “Mr. B”. Oh well. (snigger)
Yep. He was a character designer for [i]The
Incredibles[/i] and was the voice of the newsreel narrator. Teddy is one of the people Brad Bird
brought with him from Warner Bros. after working together on The Iron Giant. He has
mad storyboarding skills.

Mitch -
I don’t know… “Mr. B Natural” is pretty “sticky”… this particular brand of bad sticks
with you for a long time. If it weren’t for MST3K, it would be soul-killingly unwatchable. I’d say you should
watch it, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re brave, however, you can see it
here (It is in two parts, though).
Don’t forget guys with all this [b]Ratatouille hype
[/b]that Lifted is also showing with it. 
That is
also true. Another reason to watch Ratatouille, see the short Lifted!

JV - Thanks for reminding us! Truth be told, I forgot about it… 
Yeah, with all of this hype of ratatouille around here, it is easy to forget other things to be anticipating
along with the release of the movie.
I don’t know if this has been posted
but…

Yeah…found it on Pixar.com
I don’t think I have seen that before. it is intresting to get a preview look before we
actually see it in theatres.
Hey, thanks CarFreak! I don’t know if anyone’s seen
that yet, so cool, your first!
Stu and the instructer seem awesome! Maybe the best designed Pixar
short characters yet, in my opinion. I seemed to have forgotten Lifted, in all of
this Ratatouille craze, and I’m tellin’ ya, it’s just one more reason to see
Ratatouillle!

That has been up there for a while
actually. Man, I am so excited for this short and we only have a couple of weeks left to wait for it.
Bill- Some of us do, Bill, but not everyone.
Awww, poor you lizardgirl. I am sorry about that. 
Bill
– You mean about a month, right?

Gasduude - Yeah, about a
month. Why didn’t I put that there? Oh well…
I
don’t know how this short film did not win an Oscar. In my opinion, this short film was the best and funniest
short film Pixar has ever done!
JV
– Best one, huh?
Here’s a question: was the “boy” in the short Linguini?
Gasduude - It had to be Linguini, he looked just like
him.
