Geri's Game

Geri's Game was one of my favorite Pixar shorts that we watched in class. It was probably the funniest one that we watched. I’m not entirely sure why it was so entertaining, it was just an old man with an unproportionable sized nose playing chess by himself in the park. He got really into it and went back and forth around the table instead of just turning the board. He had the most intense game of chess that I have ever seen. That may have been why the film was significant to me. Geri was really into what he was doing. That reminds me of the Pixar reading that we had to complete. Pixar isn’t all business. Pixar is a fun place to work. It is enjoyable for all of the employees because they go there to make movies that they would want to watch, they bounce ideas off of each other without judgement, they make each other’s ideas better. They help each other to do better by having fun. They talk. They look for what’s beneficial. They look at things with fresh eyes. They want to make it the best they can. Pixar films are fun to watch and fun to make.
