Partysaurus Rex

So it seems that when Rex is with his regular Toy Story pals, he's often dismissed as a party pooper. So when his little girl new owner has to take a bath, she takes the dinosaur toy with her and he suddenly takes a new attitude. I'll stop there and just say this was quite another fun short from Pixar that brought a new take on one of the classic Toy Story characters which Rex's voice Wallace Shawn benefits from immensely. Certainly, those new bath toy friends certainly like him enough when he keeps the water flowing. Like just when things seem headed for something one way, an unexpected turn always comes. Really, all I'll say now is Partysaurus Rex was a fine short to watch before the 3-D re-release of Finding Nemo.

Rex (Wallace Shawn) is ridiculed by the other toys as "Partypooper Rex". Bonnie takes Rex for the unenviable bath time. For a short time, the bath toys enjoy the party until the water is drained out of the tub. As the only one with arms, Rex is able to turn the water back on and start up the party once again. He proclaims himself as "Partysaurus Rex". Only it becomes more and more difficult to stop once the tap is turned on.

Toy Story is one of the best franchises around. It's a milestone in cinematic animation. The characters are iconic. Rex is a supporting comedic character. In this short, he is the lead and it introduces a whole new slate of wonderful characters. It's fun. Like any great party, one can't help but have fun. When the music starts and the party lights go on, heads start bopping and mouths start smiling. It's infectious. This is simply fun. Like the water, it's hard to stop once it starts. It also has a great button to the comedy. It's an overall great Pixar short.

"Toy Story" has recently spawned several short films and I have enjoyed them all. While "Partysaurus Rex" is gorgeously animated (probably better than the previous ones), the story is paper-thin. This is not to say it's not enjoyable--but it certainly is not a must-see.

The film, not surprisingly, is about Rex. He's one of many toys that Bonnie loves to play with in the tub. And, after Bonnie leaves, the toys all come to life and party. And, the leader of this group of toys is Rex.

The biggest worry in this little film? How will Rex turn off the water so the place isn't flooded! Not much of a conflict. But the characters are cute, the CGI is great and kids will no doubt love it. For adults, however, it's just a trifle.

This animated short film tells the story of Rex who accidentally messes up his friend's party. He gets called "Party Pooper Rex" soon afterwards. Hence, he decides to become "Partysaurus Rex".

The story is very simple, but it is really fun. The music is energetic and uplifting, the lights are psychedelic and there is even foam! The bathtub party is so epic that I wish I was there. Now I need to watch a film about epic parties of mega proportions!

I love toy story and when I saw this short film PartySaurus Rex I enjoyed it so much because it was funny and something everyone would enjoy.
