Presto is a 2008 Pixar computer-animated short film shown in theaters before—and included on the DVD and Blu-ray release of—their feature length film WALL-E. The short is about a magician trying to perform a show with his uncooperative rabbit, and is a gag-filled homage to classic cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. Presto was directed by veteran Pixar animator Doug Sweetland, in his directorial debut.
The original idea for the short was a magician who incorporated a rabbit into his act who suffered from stage fright. This was considered to be too long and complicated, and the idea was reworked. To design the theater featured in Presto, the filmmakers visited several Opera Houses and theaters for set design ideas. Problems arose when trying to animate the theater's audience of 2,500 patrons—which was deemed too expensive—and was solved by showing the back of the audience.
Reaction to the short was very positive, and DVD reviewers of WALL-E considered it to be an enjoyable special feature. One critic called Presto a "winner through and through",[2] while another found it to be "a short and hilarious animated film".[3] Presto was nominated for an Annie Award and Academy Award.
