Published: Dec. 5, 2020, 2 a.m.

b'In preparation for the release of Soul on Disney+, Arun and Patricia decide to do a spinoff of PixMix called PixMinis where they look back on a Pixar short every day until December 25th. \\xa0\\xa0\\nIn this episode, they look back on the 1988 Pixar short Tin Toy. A tin toy named Tinny is trying to get away from a destructive baby named Billy who would get toys and play with them to the point of breaking them. Tin Toy is considered to be one of the most important shorts in Pixar due to winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1988. It was also the precursor to Toy Story when Pixar wanted to do a full length film on Tin Toy, but had scrapped it. Tinny wouldn\'t be shown in a Toy Story film until his cameo appearance in Toy Story 4 over 20 years later. What do Arun and Patricia think of the short?
