The short was re-rendered for its release in front of 2003\u2019s <strong>Finding Nemo<\/strong>, significantly reducing the shapeliness of the object of the snowman\u2019s obsession.<\/p>\n<p>The disc will also feature audio commentaries, a documentary on Pixar and several animation tests.<\/p>\n<p>The shorts appearing on the disc are-<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>The Adventures Of Andre &amp; Wally B (1984)<\/li>\n<li>Luxo Jr. (1987)<\/li>\n<li>Red\u2019s Dream (1987)<\/li>\n<li>Tin Toy (1988)<\/li>\n<li>Knick Knack (1989)<\/li>\n<li>Geri\u2019s Game (1997)<\/li>\n<li>For The Birds (2001)<\/li>\n<li>Mike\u2019s New Car (2002)<\/li>\n<li>Boundin\u2019 (2004)<\/li>\n<li>Jack-Jack Attack (2005)<\/li>\n<li>One Man Band (2006)<\/li>\n<li>Mater And The Ghost Light (2006)<\/li>\n<li>Lifted (2007)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">A majority of the ground-breaking, computer-created short films from Pixar Studios will be released on DVD and Blu-ray disc in the appropriately titled Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 on November 6, 2007.
