Not sure if this is what you mean, but you can see the trailer for Pixar's next movie, "Finding Nemo", on the QuickTime trailers web page:

Thanks for the link but I have already see the trailer... I am looking for the commercials that Pixar had made from 1990 up until 1996.

For Example in 1990 Pixar produced:

California Lottery's "Dancing Cards"
Trident's "Quite a Package"
Lifesavers Holes "Babies"
Volkswagen's "La Nouvelle Polo"
Pillsbury's "Plump"

many more

Where did you find out about the ones you already listed? I have their early shorts, some that were Oscar winners on tape somewhere (Knick Knack, Tin Toy, Red's Dream, Luxo Jr.) but I've never seen any of their commercial work - I'd love to take a look. :D

Their commercials are what I am looking for. If I ever get them I will be shore to share them. For now if you want more information on Pixar you can go to www.pixar.com (http://www.pixar.com) or more specifically their history page is at http://www.pixar.com/companyinfo/history/index.html

There are some great shorts on those pages...

I've never seen "Red's Dream" or "Andre and Wally B"...very cool stuff for the time they were done!

I remember the first time I saw Knick Knack back in 92 or 93 - I thought it was absolutely amazing - Bobbie McFarran's (sp?) song was perfect for that short. Given the state of the technology at the time, it truly was amazing. To replicate it today would still require quite a lot of skill and talent.

It's too bad that one isn't posted on the site...I love Bobby McFerrin's work.
