Pixar said SparkShorts is where they give Pixar filmmakers money to create whatever film they want, something that tells a story about them. This is why I love these shorts so much! They tell a story about something, or some things, the film maker experienced or feels. Very powerful!

One's a shovel that's not the keenest robot around, the other's a hammer that's surprisingly cool and elegant for such a blunt implement. Within roughly 8 minutes, we see how deep their friendship is, their characters, and the struggle that's worn them down for an unknown amount of time. We see them comfort and reassure each other, and even risk everything to protect each other... and finally find a strange sort of freedom, now stuck together with something they're much more fond of. Probably my favorite short film of all time. Years later and I'm still watching this over and over. I like it when Pixar animates nonverbal, expressive robots, what can I say? What I'd give to see a full-length film seeing these two... Where they end up going, if they'd still be chased, if those sleek fellows living it up in those towers are any friendly.

[@sophiatalksmusic3588]

Yeah, I think so. If you think about it, the two main robots seemed to be shovelling ore to power the train, similar to coal miners. Because they were connected to the train, they were prevented from seeing the world that the high-class robots lived in. Without the blue spheres, which the high-class robots had, they relied solely on the train (their position in society) to give them power, but it also restricted them.

Probably in the *extremely distant* future afterwards, but still you've got a point there.

That wasn't coal. So maybe some kind of fusion-powered train?

[@gertl]

possibly releasing any heat thats in there and the civilization might be living things connected to robot bodies because they aren't able to go into space but thats just my thinking

[@cameronknapp7315]

It looks like coal.

[@PumpkinSeries]

Honestly, steam can never be forgotten, maybe it’s “gaseous” in some way with that special space coal?

[@CrabLegs78]

I'm so glad they're making these. This and Purl have been so cool.

I love this Shorts program. They are so creative and original. I hope this isnt just a one time thing but also a program you guys do yearly. Also, I personally prefer this short over Purl.

[@sourpuss5951]

It doesn't even have half a million views :( It's definitely better than Purl.

[@ebbandfloatzel]

Definitely. I feel this short handled it's message much more elegantly. It told the story it was trying to tell, while also having an underlying message (Smash and Grab could be seen as lower class robots, or could also be seen as slaves. Either way the story fits just the same.) But Purl's story only works with Yarns representing women in the workplace, and actually falls apart if you look at the short story at face value (there's literally no reason the "Bros" would be so awkward around Lacey or even Purl if they knew Yarn people existed.) Even outside of that, both stereotypes were almost outright offensive. It just felt like good intentions with poor execution, mostly due to the dumbed down plot. It would have fit much better if they skipped the metaphors.

No dialogue but still delivers the feel to the audience. Great work, Pixar.

[@brianwall9592]

Agreed; plus it crosses language barriers, without the need (and, often, flaws) of subtitles...

[@batterypop]

This was a fun watch. Felt like a blend of a lot of familiar sci-fi/fantasy stories, in a good way. The ending reminded me of C3PO and R2 on Tatooine in A New Hope. Really loved the sound design as well. But I was so NOT READY for 5:22! Thanks, Pixar!

[@vindurza]

I am digging the more mature animations glad to see pixar showing animation isn't just for children but for everyone.

The only time Pixar made a childish franchise was Cars. Everything else they've produced can be enjoyed at all ages.

[@TeamRemForever]

I have no words.... This was your BEST short yet. I loved every second of it. Smash and Grab is now officially my new favorite Pixar short. Before, Geri's Game was my all time favorite until my eyes saw this wonderful masterpiece. This short was so good, that I even applauded for a whole minute after it ended. I love how this tells a very relatable story, with powerful emotions from the characters, and no dialogue. You deserve a good ol pat on the back. This was like WALL-E but in the far, far future. So once again, I applaud you. 👏👏👏👏👏
