Dignity. Poise. Mystery. We expect nothing less from the great turn-of-the-century magician, Presto. But when Presto neglects to feed his rabbit one too many times, the magician finds he isn't the only one with a few tricks up his sleeve!

A Disappointing Continuation

TrueHello

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This short animated film tells the story of a magician and his rabbit. They have to perform a magic trick on stage, but the rabbit is not cooperating in the show because the magician has not fed him."Presto" is short but it is really funny! The rabbit is just really funny. His facial expressions are very rich. The magician's endless tricks are entertaining. Their feud on stage is super hilarious. I love this animation.

fun, useful lesson, an adorable character and pledge for friendship. and, maybe, it is enough. because "Presto" the virtue to be the brilliant example of seduction.remembering the shows of circus, the magic from the top hat, the rabbits and the fables. sure, a great piece of Pixar. and the gift for the inner child.

A magician, his magic top hat and his desperately cute and hungry rabbit.PRESTO is a Pixar featurette before WALL-E and has brought back the classically hilarious "short," popularized by Warner Bros. and Bugs Bunny cartoons all those decades ago.The protagonist, being a rabbit, made me feel somehow like a person from the 40s or 50s might have felt when that other cheeky rabbit careened across the silver screen for the first time, with that sense of amazement and wonder at watching something so guttingly funny.Presto the Magician is onstage for his act, but his rabbit wants to be fed, so refuses to be pulled from Presto's magic hat until he gets his fix of carrot. The myriad ways in which he confounds Presto's attempts to drag him from the hat are – once again, when speaking of Pixar – absolutely ingenious.

This is the second of five Oscar-nominated animated shorts I've watched from last year. It's from Pixar and was originally presented before their feature WALL-E which I have yet to see. A magician's bunny just wants a carrot but his master keeps taking it away from him so during the performance with the master on stage with his own hat and the bunny at the side hidden by curtains holding the sorcerer's hat that serves as the connection between where the magician's hand goes, the bunny does all kinds of tricks of his own on his master while the audience thinks it's all part of the act...Reminiscent of the wacky stuff done by Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, and Frank Tashlin in the '40s, Presto provides non-stop slapstick that gets more outrageously funny with each gag before the crescendo that satisfyingly comes. And dig the beginning logo credits done in the way they might have been if this short really was made during that Golden Age of animation. In short, Presto is magnifico!
