20. "The Adventures of André and Wally B." (1984)
Made in 1984, while "Pixar" was still a division at LucasFilm called The Graphics Group, this short was revolutionary for its time.

19. "Red's Dream" (1987)
Another of John Lasseter's earliest animated works, "Red's Dream" tells the melancholy story of an anthropomorphized unicycle who dreams of juggling in the circus. Though this short has the early inklings of Pixar's knack for drawing emotions from inanimate objects, the creepy clown detracts from its appeal all these years later.
18. "The Blue Umbrella" (2013)
This is one of Pixar's least-memorable shorts, though the animation of two colorful umbrellas in a sea of black is gorgeous. But the boy-meets-girl trope is overwrought. Pixar has proven its team is capable of more originality than the tale of two umbrellas falling in love.
