When people think about Pixar they immediately think of Pixar's feature films like Toy Story, the Incredibles and Finding Nemo. But Pixar actually found their first success in animated shorts, not feature films. Pixar has recently released all their short films on one DVD. After getting my hands on a copy I revisited these animated shorts and decided I would rank the Pixar animated shorts from worst to first.
13. The Adventures of Andre and Wally B
This animated short from Pixar is really the weakest of the bunch. I'm willing to give it a free pass on how it looks since it was made in 1984 but the story isn't all that imaginative either. The story is just a bee chasing a guy. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure imagination was invented before 1984 so I can't give it them a free pass on the bad story.
12. Boundin'
Boundin' was about a Sheep that liked to dance. Then one day somebody comes and shaves off all his wool and the other animals laugh at him. The sheep is embarrassed until one day a jackalope comes hopping by and tells the sheep to hop too, instead of dancing. When I first saw this animated short from Pixar my immediate reaction was, "what the heck was that??" That is still my reaction after seeing it many more times.
11. Mike's New Car
Mike' New Car is starring Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc. Mike gets a brand new car and shows it off to Sulley. Everything goes wrong and Mike wishes he had his old car back. Mike's New Car was basically like a scene stolen from the Three Stooges with a lot of physical humor but I didn't think anything was funny about it. The most entertaining part of this animated short was hearing the directors' kids do the commentary on the DVD.
10. Red's Dream
Red's Dream is about a small red unicycle in a bike shop that has a dream in which a clown is riding him and juggling. The unicycle then becomes the star of the show as the clown falls off the unicycle and the unicycle continues to juggle the balls. I enjoy the opening setting of this animated short, it's a dark and rainy night, because that is a very difficult setting to animate, but I'm not too crazy about the unicycle and the dream. Plus, clowns are scary.

- Early Pixar animated shorts are not as good looking but have creative stories.
- Luxo Jr. is still the best Pixar animated short.
