Plot Summary
When an overconfident teen alien gets behind the controls of a spaceship, he must attempt to abduct a slumbering farmer under the watchful eye of a critical instructor. But abducting humans requires precision and a gentle touch, and within a few missteps it's painfully clear why more humans don’t go missing every year.

Pixar's latest (and the best looking and sounding so far).
Just saw this today before Pixar's latest Ratatouille. Loved it, while not as immediatly "cute" or full of "Aaahh.." moments as "For the Birds" or "Boundin", this is still a wonderfully off kilter animated short with a great punchline. As with the earlier shorts, this is little more than a one-joke (a very funny joke mind you!) showcase for just how far Pixar can push the limits of CGI. Is it worth the $1.99 fee? Personally, yes but if you can, see and hear this where it should be really be experienced -at a modern cinema with a DTS setup. Even my wife liked this a lot, as the opening few seconds are deliberately confusing for what follows. (I'm trying not to ruin the surprise). The cinema matinee where I saw this had a good mix of adults, families and young children and everyone really liked this. Being a fan of Pixar's past films and having all of their impressive collector's edition DVDs, as created by their in-house sound genius Rydstrom, this is going to look and sound amazing on DVD release. More please Pixar and soon! :)

Wow, Pixar doesn't dissapoint. Another great short by the bottomless minds at the Pixar Animation Studios! No pun intended. lol. Alien in training attempting his first human abduction..... and is being graded on his performance.... but not everything goes as planed. This was a fun and hilarious short and you do NOT want to pass this one up. Plus, there's all kinds of unknowns.... especially at the end of the film. If you loved Pixar's previous short "For the Birds" you will love "Lifted" even more! I've only had this short for about 20 minutes and already have multiple plays on it. lol, you will die laughing!
Hilarious!!!
This is my favorite Pixar short! Download it...you won't be disappointed!
