I was just thinking that. Hey, what if they made like a short with possibly some of the Pixar characters from some of the feature films except the overall plot was based on Presto getting stuck in between the magic hats. Then, the magician tries to get Presto out, he ends up pulling out Woody or EVE or something. Huh, huh? What do you think? 
[spoil]I got nothin’[/spoil]
hmmm…i see a fanfic here.
You could do a magical story about the way the magician uses to hat. The story could change when a new magician uses it and malfunctions the magic scheme…
As usual, Al-Bob, great idea! [spoil]I’m not that great at fanfics, so you can use the idea![/spoil]
It would be perfect as part of a full-length feature film, but as a whole … I don’t see anywhere else it could go.
I see it as a part of a carnival/circus oriented movie. That’s something I’d enjoy watching, partially because I’m designing something like that.

Working on it…should be up soon…
I’m not sure if that would work. I’d be afraid of it turning into 90 minutes of Looney Tunes type gags…
I thought that this short would make an awesome film when i saw it during previews before WALL-E. I would def be a huge supporter of seeing this go into a full story!
Nah.
Presto paid homage to all the old classic cartoons of the 40s and such (Mickey Mouse, Looney Toons, etc.), and none of them ever reached more than 10 minutes either. I think the length of Presto is just fine. I think people can only handle so much Tom and Jerry these days, and I don’t think a 2 hour episode would hold everyone’s interests for long, unfortunately.
Disney_Guy i think there would be more to it than you think. Such as a detailed plot, and a lot of different characters. Its Pixar, when have they ever let us down?? 
CMB…if you really want to see Presto as a movie there is a fanfiction being written about Presto. You might want to look it up in the fan fiction section.
I’m sure you could give some pointers or enjoy what a movie version of it could look like.
Pixar specifically made Presto to tribute them old classic cartoons, though… I’m pretty sure they had it in mind from the start that this type of cartoon would not work as a two hour film. I honestly just can’t see how a two hour episode of Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse shorts, or the Looney Toons could possibly work out, because they were meant for short bursts of laughter and charm at a time. You can only handle so much of that stuff at a time before the jokes and gags get old, you know.
I agree, but still, although Presto was inspired by Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry etc, doesnt mean its as bland as them. And even so, Both Tom and Jerry, and Mickey both had full length movies.
Presto is a lot more complex than those 2 examples, its like comparing apples and oranges, yes it was inspired by them, but it also is a lot more dynamic, and flexable to work with.
I wouldn’t call the older cartoons bland at all, because they aren’t. It’s just, they’re meant to be taken in shorter doses at a time
I think the feature films of said cartoons (Like A Goofy Movie), completely take the formula of what the old cartoons had out, and make something completely different. The feature length films actually do something different than what most of us would see in the short films. A Goofy Movie, for example, doesn’t have Goofy trying to learn how to ski for two hours. A Goofy Movie actually went beyond the boundaries of the classic Goofy cartoons and went for more character development and story.
Could Presto do that? Possibly. But imo, that would be too much of a risk if you’re willing to take everything the short had that made it great, and turn it into something else.
Well thats what good ole’ storyboarding is for. Pitch different ideas, until ya get the perfect one. 
I think some ideas are better left as they are. Also, if a feature length version of Presto was made, and results in something unsuccessful then people may just start saying “Should have kept it as a short” and then we’re back in square one again 
Of course, the problem with this is that you can move things like this forward, but after that there’s no going back. If presto was made into a feature film, it could never go back to a charming short.
I really do think that it’s best to leave it as a short that people think of fondly, and something that gave a good nod to the old cartoons that inspired it. I don’t think the presto bunny is a strong enough character to hold a feature length movie. It’s best to accept it for what it was intended to be, and leave it at that.
If anything it’s more of a credit to pixar that people feel that even a short of theirs is good enough to warrant a feature length movie.
One thing you could do, however. Is create a series of shorts about the bunny in different situations to see if the character has legs or not…only then would you truly find out if it could hold its own as a feature film. I think that saying something should be a full length movie after a 5 minute short is a little premature…but that’s just me.
Mickey mouse wasn’t built in a day 
Considering people decide whether they’d like to see a movie off of a 30 second tv commercial, i completely dis-agree with that statement.
Personally, i think there’s a big difference on deciding to watch a movie based on an advert that is trying to sell to you why you should see this film. Presto on the other hand, was not a five minute trailer for a future movie. It has it’s own narrative structure and story, unlike a trailer does.
Also, trailers are often showing movies that have already been made and thought out as a feature which feature length stories in mind.
I’m not saying that a Presto movie shouldn’t be done, or couldn’t be done. But i can’t help but wonder why everyone would want a feature length movie of presto anyway?
I think the things that people liked most about it were the gags that were used, and the nostalgic feeling of an old Warner bros cartoon. As much as i liked presto, if we’re being brutally honest the characters weren’t developed enough to create anymore attachment to them than a cute curiosity or amusement.
Not to mention that for the most part, the short had no dialogue. The magic could disappear completely if you take away that factor, and add in voices for the characters would it lose it’s charm? Personally, I just don’t think it’s worth trying to find out when you already have something that people seem to like a lot.
But hey, opinions exist to be disagreed with. And these are just my personal views.
Well obviously there is something about Presto that stands out to people considering no one on here has really said anything about wanting another Pixar short to become a feature film.
I think it’d take some work to create a sellable plot, but i think it’d be no harder than creating any other movie. You just have to take the characters you’ve created and make a story. Beggining, rise of action, slimax, fall of action, end.
i think it’d be successful if they assigned the right people to it, and their time was appropriatly devoted to the film, just like any other Pixar film, or any other animation studio at that.
Yeah the characters are there, but there’d have to be major expansion on the tension between the main characters.
Maybe it could be their rise to fame or something like that. That’s a simle idea, and pixar would do way better…
I don’t think it should happen though.
I think it should just stay a short…
the characters aren’t developed enough to make a whole movie out of, and it would need a more complex plot…
not to say that pixar studios COULDN’T if they put their mind to it. Just, that i think it keeps its natural charm better as a short.
It was a funny short though!
