This includes a tuba, piano, drum, clarinet, and more. She then see’s a man who has a one man band he is carrying around. One Man Band is about a little girl who is going to put a coin in a fountain and make a wish. In the sound design it reminded me of Tin Toy which also features a one man band but in the form of a toy. I think it is one of his best arrangements. The music is written by Michael Giacchino who would go on to do the music for Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, Cars 2 (and the recent Jurassic World). It also uses music the most effectively (as an actual character in the story) of any of the shorts. It is the only second short using human characters and the first to be set in the past (Medieval times). So in that sense it isn’t very creative.īut in another sense it is creative.

It also has a similar plotline to For the Birds and Knick Knack where the cocky guy (or guys in this case) gets their just rewards in the end. It’s very similar to the rest of the Pixar shorts in that regard. I must admit to be a little let down after Boundin’ had narration to get another short that feels like a silent film.

One Man Band is a Pixar short with a ton of charm and some similarities and differences to the previous shorts. So just bear with me friends as we are a bit out of order this week! I have watched Cars but am not sure when I will post about it.

Definitely by the end of Wednesday (I also have to make videos at the same time. So I will post about One Man Band today and then Inside Out tomorrow and maybe Lava depending on how long it takes me. This means I will have both of those reviews out of order (I’m not waiting to post about it! There’s no way!). I am going to be seeing Inside Out tomorrow along with the animated short Lava. This week is going to be a little strange as far as my Pixar reviews.
