Day & Night (S)

"Day & Night," the short that runs before "Toy Story 3," is definitely the riskiest Pixar short I've seen in recent years. (...) I was taken aback at first -- the slapstick was broad, and one of the character's cat-call of a bikini babe struck me as politically incorrect -- before I started to catch on to what director Teddy Newton was trying to do. The second time I saw "Day & Night," I was able to thoroughly enjoy it for what it was. A well-conceived, well-edited attempt to combine forms and create something new. 

"Much more fun is "Day & Night," the animated Pixar short that shows before "Toy Story 3." In it, two characters (one dark, one light) encounter each other and are initially suspicious of their differences, but eventually find common ground. That summary doesn't do justice to the inventiveness and charm of the 6-minute film" 

"Delightful." 

"One of the most creative and inventive animated shorts ever made."
