More Presto cartoons


Most of the Pixar shorts are one-off cartoons, but with Presto I think there is the potential for a series of further adventures of the magician and his rabbit.

a feature would also be acceptable.

or they could make more presto shorts in front of other pixar/disney movies

a feature might not work, the idea would probably wear thin

Maybe?

One element of a series for TV or such is that the pair travel from theater to theater but high jinks happen at every turn as they have fun teasing each other on stage or back stage, etc.

But I wonder if there is any good writers / producers / directors out there anymore that can produce good results with things like this since I hear that TV studios (executives mainly) mess around with the shows preventing success sometimes. They can kill a great idea and often do.

Anyway, as they travel they encounter different folks and societies which adds to the variety and triggering a difference in every "show" they do such as an episode would be all about who they meet (stage managers, etc.) and the foul ups that happen and other sitcom stuff.

But, unless someone does a educational kiddy show for like Disney channel or others, it won't happen as few would want to try to do it.

A good producer and other developers of moves & TV can take any subject, short, etc. and either turn it into a series or movie though the 'original' like this short would seem to be a bad idea to many. Kind of like performing 'magic' as it would be called with the concepts. ;-)

Oh, but to dream...

It reminded me of Tom & Jerry. I have seen every T&J shorts but none of the T&J movies.

They could turn Presto into something like that. A Saturday morning cartoon.
