Presto is a 2008 animated short film produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The film is directed by Doug Sweetland, who made his directorial debut with Presto. Although the film is only five minutes long, it's a delightful watch that's packed with humor, action, and heart. The plot of Presto revolves around a magician's rabbit named Alec Azam (voiced by Randy Newman). Alec is usually the star of his master, Presto's (voiced by Doug Sweetland) magic show. However, Alec is neglected by his master, who is too busy focusing on his own success to take care of his beloved rabbit. As a result, Alec becomes increasingly resentful of Presto and does everything in his power to sabotage the shows.

One night, before a big show, Alec is accidentally locked in his cage by Presto, who is running late. As Presto prepares to start the show, he realizes that he has forgotten to feed Alec, who is now extremely hungry. Alec, who is desperate for food, decides to take matters into his own hands and tries to get his own carrot. But when he discovers that he is locked in his cage with no way out, Alec decides to hatch a plan to get his own carrot.

The rest of the film revolves around Alec's hilarious attempts to get his carrot, which include using a multitude of tricks and traps to get his master's attention. The film is fast-paced and action-packed, with plenty of sight gags and witty one-liners that will appeal to both kids and adults.

The animation in Presto is stunning, as is to be expected from a Pixar production. The characters are beautifully designed and animated, with each movement and expression conveying its personality and emotions. The attention to detail in the film is impressive, from the intricate stage props to the ornate costumes worn by Alec and Presto.

The sound design in Presto is also noteworthy, with the score by Alexandre Desplat perfectly complementing the film's humor and action. The voice acting is also top-notch, with Randy Newman lending his distinct voice to Alec, and Doug Sweetland lending his own voice to Presto.

Overall, Presto is a must-watch animated short film that will leave you laughing and smiling long after the credits roll. It's a testament to Pixar's ability to tell a compelling, meaningful story in just a few short minutes. For those looking for a quick and entertaining escape from reality, Presto is an excellent choice.
