Unless others are doing this at the same time, it looks like I'll be the first to comment on the Oscar-nominated short Lifted which is now playing right before Ratatouille since both films are produced by, you guessed it, Pixar. In this one, a young man is being abducted by a spaceship as indicated by the light that's on him. It doesn't go smoothly, however, since the light has the still sleeping man constantly hit a wall. Turns out the one doing the abduction is a trainee who has trouble remembering simple directions as indicated by the glum-faced guide watching over him inside the spaceship. All I'll tell you after that is how many things go constantly wrong in some of the most laugh-inducing scenes I've seen in the theatre all year so far. Definitely worth viewing with the feature it's attached to so what are you waiting for? Just go!
