History YMMV / PixarShorts

** From the [=SparkShorts=], "Purl" has a very on-the-nose message about workspace inclusiveness, especially when it comes to gender.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: ''Knick Knack'''s focus on a snowman pursuing attractive, swimsuit-clad women (not to mention their prominent racks in the uncensored short) might feel less amusing after its director, John Lasseter, became revealed as a sexual harasser.

* {{Anvilicious}}: ''Day and Night'' is a mild example, though it probably would've been hard to deliver the message subtly in a short where the characters live in an empty space and can't talk.

** The foods in ''Bao'' which looks realistically savory.

* HarsherInHindsight: The titular unicycle of said short is lonely with no one to accompany him. The short itself isn't accompanied with any Pixar film, not even ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'', which weren't accompanied with any Pixar shorts.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: "Red's Dream". The whole thing.

* UnfortunateImplications: There's [[https://www.polygon.com/2018/6/26/17505726/pixar-bao-dumpling-short-reactions a racial divide]] to the public reception of ''Bao''. Most people of Asian descent (whose cultures revolve heavily around familial tradition) found the short to be incredibly touching. Most of the viewers who found it [[{{Narm}} too funny or confusing to be heartwrenching]]? [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment White Americans]].

* {{Narm}}: ''The entirety of Lava'', if you happen to be bothered by the fact that it repeatedly commits one of the cardinal sins of lyric writing by putting the AccentOnTheWrongSyllable absolutely everywhere.
** Even without the lyrics it's a fairly unintentionally hilarious short due to how completely lacking subtlety it is.
** NarmCharm: And yet, in spite of this, for some the ending of ''Lava'' manages to be heartfelt and moving, especially when that wonderful harmony kicks in.
** A lot of people have admit to finding the scene in ''Bao'' where [[spoiler:the mother eats her son]] more funny than heartwrenching due to how out of nowhere it seems.

%%* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: ''Bao''

** THe little dumpling son in ''{{Bao}}.'' So smooshy.

* NeverLiveItDown: If there's one thing everybody knows and admits, it's that 80's computers were ''not'' ready to animate the baby from ''Tin Toy''.
* NightmareFuel: The baby in ''Tin Toy''. Ye gods... No wonder they're all hiding...

** ''Piper'' features photorealistic backgrounds and setpieces as in The Good Dinosaur with beautiful photorealistic animals, unlike the goofy cartoonish dinosaurs.

* DevelopmentHell: In 2015, a fifth ''Cars Toons: Tales from Radiator Springs'' short, "To Protect and Serve" was announced to be released in May, and books and merchandise were produced featuring footage of such. As of now, it has not aired, and is presumably cancelled.

* ViewerSpeciesConfusion: A non-animal example. The little dumpling in ''Bao'' is often confused for an onion by viewers who are not familiar with Chinese dumplings.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: ''Knick Knack'''s focus on a snowman pursuing attractive, scantily-clad women (not to mention their prominent racks in the uncensored short) might feel less amusing after its director, John Lasseter, became revealed as a sexual harasser.

* EarWorm: "Knick Knack" by Bobby [=McFerrin=], written for the short of the same name. It's recently been used as the BGM for a series of BUPA commercials.

* NarmCharm: And yet, in spite of this, for some the ending of ''Lava'' manages to be heartfelt and moving, especially when that wonderful harmony kicks in.

* HoYay: Day and Night.
