  • One Man Band (2006) Tells the tale of a peasant girl who encounters two competing street performers who'd prefer the coin find its way into their tip jars. As the two one-man bands' rivalry crescendos, the two overly eager musicians vie to win the little girl's attention (nominated for Oscar® 2006)

  • Jack-Jack Attack (2005) Baby Jack-Jack is thought to be normal, not having any super-powers like his parents (The Incredibles’ Mr. and Mrs. Parr) or siblings. But when an outsider is hired to watch him, Jack-Jack shows his true potential

  • Boundin’ (2004) A sheep proudly danced in his lush wool until he had his first sheering which left him humiliated until a jackalope passes by and shows the forlornly shorn sheep woolly or not, its what’s inside that will make him rebound from life’s troubles (nominated for an Oscar® 2004)

  • Mike’s New Car (2002) Mike is obsessed with his new six-wheel drive car, and insists on showing it off to his pal Sulley.

  • For the Birds (2001) A group of small birds perch together on a telephone wire.

  • Geri’s Game (1997) The title character, Geri plays a game of chess against himself, 'becoming' each of the players in turn by moving to the other side of the chessboard and taking his glasses on and off.

  • Knick Knack (1989) A snowglobe snowman wants to join the other travel souvenirs in a hot party, but the glass dome that surrounds him gets in his way, despite all his efforts

  • Tin Toy (1988) When a wind-up one-man band toy looks up and sees just how boisterous, big, and destructive a baby can be, he does everything he can to flee. But when the baby falls down and gets hurt, the tin toy has to decide on survival, or doing what a toy's got to do (won Oscar® 1989)

  • Red’s Dream (1987) With a sale tag hanging from his seat, propped up in the corner of a bicycle store on a rainy night, Red the unicycle dreams about a better place

  • Luxo Jr. (1986) A larger lamp watches while a smaller, younger lamp plays exuberantly with a ball but doesn't quite manage to pick up the knack of handling it himself (nominated for Oscar® 1987)

  • The Adventures of Andre & Wally B (1984) André is awakened in a forest by a pesky bee named Wally B. When André points in a different direction, the bee looks away and André gets his chance to run away. Wally chases André and eventually catches him, reappearing with a bent stinger.
