Beginning nine years before Toy Story and continuing throughout their existence, Pixar has followed the tradition of Disney's Silly Symphonies with its own one-shot animated short-subjects, which serve as both experiments for new technology and training for new talent. The studio typically creates one short for each of its feature films, with the short being a lead-in for the feature like a Golden Age cartoon. Others are spin-offs of the features created either as bonus material for the home video release, TV specials or web originals.In 2019, Pixar started their SparkShorts series of shorts created exclusively for Disney+. In 2021, a series of short vignettes based directly on various Pixar films entitled Pixar Popcorn debuted on the same service.Among all the theatrical Pixar feature films, Toy Story, Coco, Toy Story 4, Onward and Luca weren't accompanied with any Pixar shorts; Coco had the Frozen short Olaf's Frozen Adventure and Onward had The Simpsons short Maggie Simpson in "Playdate with Destiny".A year after SparkShorts was created, Walt Disney Animation Studios created a similar series of animated shorts called ShortCircuit note Full title Walt Disney Animation Studios: Short Circuit Experimental Films beginning in 2020. ShortCircuit is an independent series of animated shorts by animators, storyboard artists, and artists at Disney Animation Studios which tests out newer animation techniques for futue use in their animated films. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The two volcanoes in Lava are heavily inspired by the late Israel "Bruddah Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole and his wife, and the style of music used in the short is heavily reminiscent of his cover of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". | |

Darker and Edgier: The Disney+ SparkShorts definitely count as this, as they explore more mature themes such as animal cruelty, autism, and homosexuality. Burrow is the Oddball in the Series of the SparkShorts, having a more child-friendly theme (learning to ask for help when needed). | |

Ambiguous Situation: At the end of Time Travel Mater, Lizzie thanks Lightning for introducing her to Stanley all those years ago. This would usually be the part that confirms Mater's tale as true, but Lizzie is so old it may be senility and the short ends without a concrete proof that the adventure actually happened. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Pixar Shorts / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: This was the impetus for the "Mater's Tall Tales" shorts, as a key aspect of Cars 2 is Mater's fanciful storytelling. Since this was a trait not shown in the first film, the Pixar staff feared that its sudden appearance would look like an Ass Pull. The "Tall Tales" shorts averts the problem by establishing this trait ahead of the movie. | |

Girlboss Feminist | |
| Pixar Shorts / int_2afc6585 | comment |
Girlboss Feminist: Zig-Zagged in "Purl". Purl, a pink ball of yarn (representing women) in a traditional white male-oriented office, becomes more like the men around her in order to achieve success and acceptance. This reaches a climax when she makes a crack about the new ball of yarn in the office, Lacey, so as not to be associated with her. However, she immediately feels guilty about treating Lacey the way she was treated by the other guys, and decides to make sure Lacey and other balls of yarn like her are more included and able to be themselves, subverting the trope. | |

Strictly Formula: The Mater's Tall Tales shorts follow the same template: Mater tells a story to McQueen about a past occupation, which McQueen finds hard to believe; the story builds to a climax, at which point McQueen either asks what happens next or doubts the legitimacy of the story; Mater then includes McQueen into the story, usually in a highly humiliating way; finally, McQueen tells Mater that it didn't happen, and something happens that somehow proves the story is true. | |

Employee of the Month: The short "Purl" has bright and girly Purl arrive at her new workplace, where she soon becomes an ill-fitting oddity. While sitting in misery at her desk, Purl looks at the office wall where framed Employee of the Month photos are posted. Purl recognizes a commonality to them, so the next day, she has dressed in grey and started acting mannish. She finds that she's fitting in much better in the office culture this way. | |

Wham Line: In Float, the dad yelling at his son is a particularly powerful one, by virtue of being the only line in the short. In Out, Greg is moving to the city and spends most of the short trying to prevent his parents from learning he's gay, whilst finding himself in his dog's body, leading him to biting his Mother. His Mother steps out in frustration, with Greg apologetically following her. She breaks down and admits that she is upset that Greg does not tell her and his father anything anymore and that since he is moving it will be more difficult. The Wham Line comes when she tries to figure out how to express this to Greg... | |

Shades of Conflict: White vs. white, white vs. grey and grey vs. gray depending on the short, with Geri's Game even going so far as to have the both opposing characters apparently be the same person. Not counting the ones based on Pixar's feature-length films that have a villain from the film appear (Jack-Jack Attack, Dug's Special Mission), there are no clear-cut villains. | |

Mime and Music-Only Cartoon: Nearly all the shorts have little or no dialogue. However, the follow-up shorts have dialogue (except BURN-E, which is logical). Float presents itself as a straight example, but powerfully subverts it for one spoken line. The Pixar Popcorn shorts lack dialogue beyond occasional exclamations (via archival recording) as well, with the exception of the "Fluffy Stuff with Ducky and Bunny" shorts (featuring new dialogue courtesy of Key and Peele). | |

Silence Is Golden: The studio loves this (the shorts featuring the movies' characters notwithstanding). Boundin' and Lava are the only theatrical shorts to avert it, unless you count the radio talking in the background in Day and Night or the superhero cartoon that Sanjay watches on his TV in Sanjay's Super Team. Of the SparkShorts, Purl, Loop, Out, and Twenty Something are aversions and Float and Nona are subversions due to the former having a single line of dialogue and the latter containing spoken dialogue uttered by the wrestling announcer on TV. | |

Rule of Funny | |
| Pixar Shorts / int_a60e3252 | comment |
Rule of Funny: In the first short, "Mater the Greater", Mater revs up for a jump over a line of cars for a stunt in his flashback. He obviously gets enough momentum to fly incredibly far over them, being a stunting vehicle; however, due to a questionable application of physics, he instead stops during a moment of airtime and lands flatly on the first two cars so he can then walk across them all individually. This is solely done for the joke. | |

His Mother steps out in frustration, with Greg apologetically following her. She breaks down and admits that she is upset that Greg does not tell her and his father anything anymore and that since he is moving it will be more difficult. The Wham Line comes when she tries to figure out how to express this to Greg... | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Pixar Shorts / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: The entirety of "Time Travel Mater" is this to Back to the Future. Mater gets hit on the head while trying to set up a clock and becomes a time-travelling car,note Doc Brown came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor after an accident involving hitting his head while he was trying to hang a clock up where sneezing causes him to time travel. He ends up meeting Radiator Spring's founder Stanley and after kindly refusing a radiator cap sale, causes him to take his business elsewhere and accidentally Retgones the entire town in the present since he had no reason to found it. With help from Lightning McQueen, Mater convinces Stanley to stay and found a town named after the radiator-shaped water spring he was drinking from. Fast-forward some time later to when Stanley met Lizzie, only for Mater to think that she's falling for McQueen, dooming the town's existence yet again.note Marty inadvertently caused his teenage mother to have a crush on him rather than his future father. Thankfully, she's interested in Stanley and history runs its course. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Pixar Shorts / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The sequence of events is a fairly accurate depiction of the life of a volcano formed by a geologic hotspot. As the tectonic plate shifts over the "hotspot" in the mantle, the volcano slowly goes dormant. It can form a ring atoll as the peak sinks into its emptied magma chamber and the island erodes, while coral grows up around the edges—and a new volcano forms nearby from the same hotspot. (This creates chains of islands, Hawai'i being one.) The main difference is that in the real world, the old sunken volcano wouldn't revitalize from The Power of Love and would simply continue sinking, and the young volcano would eventually face the same fate. (But also, in the real world, neither volcano would be sentient, sing, or yearn for love in the first place). | |
