I find myself entwined in the very same feeling each time I visit the cinema in early spring.

To be honest, Im probably only in there to keep out of the rain.

And from that point, until I reach the depths of summer, I become a child.

An impatient child, waiting to immerse myself in the colourful, majestic world of Pixar.

This year, however, Im not so sure.

I dont doubt thatCars 2will have its charms.

What I am excited about, however, is the quick return of Woody and Buzz.

Just like every other child-teenager-adult, theyremycharacters.

While a huge fan of Pixar,Cars 2wasnt a title that got me excited.

In the space between 2006 and now,Carsmerchandise has swarmed the Disney store.

There were finally some bright, boy racer characters to stick on lunch boxes for the little gents.

And I do wonder if Ill be the only one.

Rarely are they shown on TV, and the feature films gradually became less and less loved.

Either way, there were some established characters preceding a film that couldnt count on decent box office takings.

Pixar regularly uses its short films to test out new creative techniques to see how effective they are.

Theyre often eye-catching, daring pieces of film.

When the company started, it was the short films that outlined their vision as a production company.

Pixar wanted to bring sparking life to the mundane and normal.

And do it in a way no-one had ever done before.

And with every short that followed it, a new development in its technology was there to show off.

Aside from how much each film developed visually, there was also a huge focus on story.

Namely, giving anything heart.

Will these new shorts have their own posters?

I wouldnt be surprised.

Trailers are increasingly a given.

Already exclusive pictures of the firstToy Storyshort have circled the Internet, whipping up media coverage effortlessly.

But will it convince people to go to see films they didnt intend on seeing?

The shorts could well serve as at least a tipping point for the indecisive.

With its classic French-sounding score, it, like many other Pixar endeavours, seemed classic and futuristic simultaneously.

The short runs alongside Wall-E and EVEs panic run through the ship.

With each little frustrated buzz and bleep, its almost impossible not to adore this little machine.
