6. Knick Knack (1989)
It should be noted that this was made six whole years before Pixar began making Toy Story. It was also only one year further forward than the creepy baby from Tin Toy. That's quite a creative leap. Stepping away from Pixar and John Lasseter's usual emotive shorts, we have this little gem. Poor Knick Knack just wants to join the other holiday souvenirs in this 4 minute tale of unusual slapstick comedy genius. Pixar has always done comedy fantastically well in its feature films, especially the Toy Story series. Here's proof that they can hit you with it in a short, sharp blast.
