Critic Reviews

Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
The most impressive short-form piece that Pixar has put out - no small bit of praise for the studio behind Luxo Jr. and Geri's Game.
Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
A short morality tale for the children about how we can accept and learn to love each other for our differences and embrace the new and the unique...
Rob Humanick, Projection Booth
A morally and politically charged look at our perception of reality (and each other).

Very funny short animated movie...!!! Can be found before 'Toy Story 3'...

An intelligent exercise in contrast. Night & day, 2D and 3D, old and new are all compared as is prejudice and fair of the unknown and misunderstanding. A brilliantly conceived idea, totally original and probably the best thing Pixar have ever done. Exquisite and genius!

Bit funny, weird and amazing combination of light and dark in 2D and 3D animation. Two side of the coin, day and night, appear as characters and look on at one another in awesome and jealousy. That sounds like the simple of this latest Pixar short, appearing before <i>Toy Story 3</i>, but it's got a lot more sophistication, humour, and nuttiness going on than most other Pixar shorts. It also does something I've never seen from the production company: they have 2D, traditional hand-drawn animation! Sort of... Well, what happen is we see a landscape of day and night, and they're in the traditional Pixar computer-animation.

This year's Pixar entry. Interesting concept. Surprised that Pixar went the more 2-D route. I enjoyed the use of sound effects as the only means of communication for Day and Night.

Fantastic animation highlight this incredibly creative and innovative Pixar short. It's difficult to stand out in the world as animation today but this stunning film is some of the best work I've even seen. It was phenomenal in 3D before Toy Story 3.
