He he he ...

That was the first thing I said when I saw it for the first time. Maybe a comment that you would consider stupid by a movie freak, but after all it's not so funny that it was all I said; I was only five years old at that time! It was the year of -90 or -91 or so, when it was sent on Swedish for the first time. I watched but didn't understand it. After that I forgot all about it, and grew up. Quite recently, I rent "Finding Nemo", and this short movie just happened to be in the intro. Guess of I literaly jumped out of my couch; I had seen that before! But where ?? I remembered - on TV when I was a kid! That's why I decided to comment on it on imdb.com So, that's all I had to say - a very funny movie, well done and with a great sence of humour.

one of Pixar's early efforts

i thought this early animated short from Pixar was quite good.it's funny and ironic,plus it has a very catchy and infectious tune.it's also very low key,and movies at a nice sedate pace,which i liked a lot.it's from 1989,so it's a lot different than the animated films we have today.it's a very simple short with a simple story.considering it is nearly 20 years old,it's actually very well done.it's also much more clever than many animated shorts from today,and certainly back then.i'd check it out if you have the chance.you might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.or you might not be.either way,it's not like you're losing a couple of hours.for me,Knick Knack is a 7/10

Early Pixar

Funny little short comedy by the Pixar people, which I saw as an extra on the Finding Nemo DVD.

A snowman is trapped in one of those glass snow domes, but he wants to break out as all the other toys are having a good time in the sun. So he tries to break/blow his way through but things just don't work for him. When he and the dome finally fall down, we think he can escape but again, the dome gets the better of him...

Well made and fun, we can see why Pixar became such a huge company over the years. If you have the Finding Nemo DVD, make sure you check this one out.

7/10.

Nice early Pixar short

'Knick Knack' starts with a couple of souvenirs taken from vacation in Florida. We see some palm trees dancing and a beach bunny dancing on a nice little tune. Then we take a look at the other end of the table. A souvenir from Alaska, a snowman in a glass dome, wants to join the hot party and especially the hot girl. He tries to break the glass of the dome in any way possible.

This animated short directed John Lasseter ('Toy Story', 'A Bug's Life') is a pretty impressive early film from the Pixar studio. It looks great and is inventive. The ending gives us the biggest laugh, but before that there are quite some funny moments.

Proves Pixar was onto something

Even when the whole idea of computer animation was still in its infancy, Pixar displayed ingenuity which wasn't even being thought of in the current industry. It just goes to show that Pixar is here to stay, and the serene cuteness of this little film proved to be one of the building blocks for a future empire.

Quiz
Whenever John Lasseter and Nancy Lasseter go anywhere on vacation, she always makes a point of buying a snow globe from that particular place. It was from this practice that the initial idea for the film was born.

Blooper
Sunny Israel (the cactus), disappears towards the end of the short, specifically at 1:57.

Citazioni
[Opening text in the 2003 version]
Text: In 1989, six years before Toy Story, Pixar Animation Studios made this short film.

Curiosità sui crediti
Filmed entirely on location.

Versioni alternative
The original 1989 version of "Knick Knack" features exaggerated breasts on the two female figurines - the sunbather and the mermaid (the latter barely covered with starfish). This was meant to parody the absurd proportions of tacky figurines such as these, and to show why the snowman was so strongly attracted to them. In 2003, the short was remastered and revised to accompany the release of Alla ricerca di Nemo (2003). In this version, the sunbather is flat-chested and the mermaid is now covered with a clam-shell top (á la Ariel in La sirenetta (1989). This was done due to discomfort with the original version by John Lasseter, who by this point was a father and felt uncomfortable showing the original version to his children. This original version is no longer available, with its last release on the laserdisc release of Toy Story - Il mondo dei giocattoli (1995). All subsequent releases, including in Pixar Short Films Collection 1 (2007) and on Disney+, have been of the 2003 revised version.
