No, I don’t believe there are any Pixar references in One Man Band. But, of course, I could be totally wrong on that. I guess I’ll have to take a look back at the film again and find out.

I didnt catch any either and I’ve watched that short a zillion times. Granted though, I wasnt looking much at the backgrounds or anything.

You can say that again. Any particular reason why you like it?

I love how they arranged the story for it and how they had it made. so awesome.

this is my all-time favorite short film, i sincerely loved it!

The_Star_Swordsman · June 12, 2008, 7:05am

Amen to that TS2. What did you like about it? Or was it generally everything?

TS2 · June 12, 2008, 5:31pm

the music was brilliantly timed with the action, the charcters worked really well, and the story was always funny! Also, I loved how they made all the little things that the violin player had on his outfit!

I know. It is cool isn’t it? Makes me want to have an instrument like that.

Seriously? It makes me want to have anything else, and to tip the one-man bands with a few hundred bucks. XD

Well, I was watching this short again and I saw my brother fingering out the stringed parts because he is a violinist. He has tried playing some of the One Man Band Music by ear.

This isn’t really a reference, but when I first saw One Man Band, it reminded me of the Tin Toy(=

And that is so awesome! I really wish I could play the violin, or any instrument for that matter! But yes, as TS2 mentioned the musical score was excellently arranged, complimenting the visuals very well. Michael Giacchino is legen-… wait for it… dary!

EDIT: Oh my goodness! I just noticed this whilst rewatching, that the pattern on the little girl’s dress is the Boundin’ sheep!! (sorry, not sure if this was posted before, but I just get excited when I notice these things!)

This is one of the best short films ever!

An insider told me a Pixar reference in One Man Band, on Tippy’s cloak you can see the sheep from Boundin’!

The_Star_Swordsman · July 9, 2008, 5:36am

Really Martini? I never knew that.

martini833 · July 9, 2008, 9:42pm

Here it is:

Who’s that newly sheared sheep on the bottom of the screen (on Tippy’s cloak)?

The_Star_Swordsman · July 9, 2008, 10:02pm

Holy cow, I did not notice that. I always thought she wore a solid colored cloak with no designs on it.

TS2 · July 10, 2008, 11:32pm

I’m ba-ack!

bright_dot-dasher · July 11, 2008, 4:32am

That should be included in the thread about Definite Pixar In-Jokes list!

Welcome Back TS2!

bright-dot-daher: True, but the Pixar In-Joke list only compiles of stuff from featured films.
