    Wonderful, lyrican and tender bit melancholy. Pixars sense for beauty and magic reminds me of the pioneer spirit qualities Disney posessed when they kicked off.

    Creative and elegant Pixar short with a well-deserved Academy Award, one of the last signs of Pixar's short-length brilliance.

    78/100

    Animation keeps getting better with these shorts and this one shows it. An old guy fakes his own death while playing himself in chess, then tricks himself for the win...dumb!

    The overwhelming success of such Pixar features as Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo may mean that's where all the attention's currently going, but their four-minute short Geri's Game is definitely an enjoyable and highly original little movie that deserve...( read more)s to dwell up there with the company's finest output. The quality animation aside, and with the European plaza-style music setting it off to a nifty pulse, it's the slick editing that really makes this concept come alive. Unlike other Pixar shorts, including Knick Knack and For the Birds, Geri's Game may not be a laugh-riot exactly, but then laugh-out-loud hilarity has never been the essential ingredient for class entertainment. What makes this movie so engaging is its intelligent story, gentle humour and truly charming sense of character. The cool visuals are a delightful bonus.

    I haven't seen much Pixar shorts, and I didn't know you could rate them on here. I just watched this on youtube and found it very amusing. A great idea. Very simple for kids and they can watch it with ease, and a great short for older audiences to sit back, relax and savour story.
