I remember seeing this short at the cinema when I saw 'Toy Story 3 (Pixar's best film so far) with one of the support workers (who found the characters cute) from my former care home and it is one of the best Pixar shorts I have ever seen.The character designs were reminiscent of earlier Disney animations and I liked how the 3D animations represented the characters' actions such as a small waterfall to signify Day relieving himself, Night's annoyance of the pool being shut when he stands in front of it and both characters coming together as one when Day's sun sets and Night's sun rises. I also liked the changes of music to match the different actions and how the characters started to get along about halfway through.Overall, this is a visual treat that is every bit as entertaining as the film it preceded. 10/10.

I have always liked or loved Pixar's films, and I thought now was a good time to revisit their short films. And I am so glad I did. Day and Night(which I did remember as the short before Toy Story 3) is a gem, even if I would personally put the likes of Presto, Knick Knack, One Man Band and Geri's Game over it. The animation is beautiful with some unique shades and colouring and the detailed backgrounds you would expect, and the music is great with the use of Rossini's William Tell. The story, if not as clear as other Pixar short films, tells so much in 6 minutes and has a thought-provoking message(however different we may be, we are all one and the same) to it of the dangers of racism and tolerance. The humour even without dialogue is smart and somewhat edgy, which I liked. The personifications of daytime and nighttime are very well done and easy to root for, I loved the end especially where night and day became twilight. Overall, if you love Pixar, you'll love this. 9/10 Bethany Cox

It's a common procedure for Pixar, for a long time now. Everyone of their new films comes preceded by a short animated film. That short film is indicative of whatever issues concern the creative core of the company at those moments. That's why the shorts that preceded Wall.E or Ratatouille dealt with power of the actions, power over creation, fundamentally narratives. The feature films always deepened this theme and added visual concerns. That's why Pixar is important: they've been consistently delivering true cinema wrapped around box office hits. In the process they raised expectations towards animation films and put animation in recognized fields of true cinema.So now we have this Day and Night. Let's read the signs, let's read the urges, let's understand their concerns.They deal with dualities of a great number of different levels, so every visual element in this film works as a metaphor and some of them work as well as a visual experiment.Two characters, both incredibly flat and bi dimensional in a way Disney has been doing them for 80 years. These characters live in a flat black world as well. But within each of them, a 3D world exists. One character is night, the other one is day. At a certain point dawn meets twilight and they change their states. Each character has within them the beautiful things of day and of night, and each one craves the qualities of the other.Can day live with night? Can flat animation meet the requirements of a 3D world. Can Pixar coexist as a surrogate of Disney? These are the questions. What makes me want to keep following whatever Pixar does is that they raise these questions. What frightens me a bit is that they made those questions so obvious here. Are they loosing it? Will they lower their level? My opinion: 3/5 http://www.7eyes.wordpress.com

Day and Night is a hilarious short and I would say one of Pixars best shorts yet,for a change instead of the usual computer animation this is shown in 2-D (with some computer animation as well)which is an enjoyable change for Pixar.Day,a guy whos inside of his body is daytime and Night,a guy whos inside of his body is night time don't get along very well and try to get each other jealous by showing what there time has and what there one hasn't,for example,Day has a girl at the beach in a bikini and when Night tries it,it just shows a queit dark beach with no one there,simply hilarious.
