Geri's Game (1997)
*** (out of 4)
Oscar-winning Pixar short has an elderly man showing up at the park to play a game a chest against his rival, which just happens to be himself. I was a little surprised to see that this one won an Oscar because it wasn't the strongest film I've seen from the studio but then again, I'm not sure how strong the other films were that year. I thought the film just repeated the same gag one time too many and it never really made me laugh outside the first time. The slow, old man slowly going from one chair to the other was got me to laugh the first time but not after that. The scene of them getting mad with himself were funny the first time but not after that. The animation was quite nice and I really liked the look of the old man but it just didn't work as well as many other Pixar shorts.
