This short film started just before the main Disney Pixar film at the cinema, WALL-E. Basically Alec the rabbit, that Presto stage magician will pull out of his magic top hat, has not been fed, and he refuses to go ahead with the act until he has eaten the near carrot. So whenever Presto reaches into his top hat, which the other side comes out of another little wizard hat, the rabbit makes him pull out something else in a little clever revenge on his co-star. Through the hat, Alec makes Presto bang his hand, pull out a mouse trap, an egg which splats in his face, suck his head in, pull his own trousers off and go up a huge ladder. Presto decides to smash the carrot, but Alec gets his own back by electrocuting him, until they go upstairs, and Presto accidentally hangs his feet up high, and it snaps. Alec saves him though with the hat, and he falls out the other side safe, a huge applause from the audience, and as a thank you for saving him, Presto gives the rabbit his carrot, and the poster becomes both of them together. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Short Animated Film (I think it should it won). Very good!
