Burn-E is a Pixar short film that should be attached to the movie Wall-E on the DVD release. Disney Pixar have been kind of secretive about Burn-E; not that much has been unveiled by them so far. But here he is:
But a / Film reader asserts that Burn-E can be spotted in some Wall-E footage previously released by Disney Pixar.

And a Little Child shall Lead Them....

Mom says, "We snuck out into the middle of Broad Street to snap a pic in front of City Hall and all the crowds. When Will raised his hands for the picture, cheers erupted. So he continued to repeat the gesture, getting wild response from the crowd on both sides of the street up and down the street as far as we could see. We couldn't have planned this if we practiced and practiced."

Microwave Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

Stockings were hung 
by the chimney with care,
as the microwaves' thrum
was filling the air.

Australian Christmas Lights

This is how they do it in Australia. 

Actually, they have this to say for themselves:

40,000 LEDs, more than 5kms of cabling and 176 channels of light synchronised to music, all sponsored by Messages On Hold.com.au. Located in Bishop Riley Way Churchlands, Australia. Last year we raised $12k for the children's hospital, we're aiming for $20k and as at Dec 17th the total stands at $7,520. The track is Music Box Dancer by DJ Schwerde. Display uses $5 of power per night, they're mostly LEDs. Enjoy

The Icy Hill

UP!

Seems odd to tell you that one of the best movies of 2009 will be starring Ed Asner in the lead role, but this is Pixar we're talking about. They could make an Oscar-worthy movie about freakin' Chuckles the Clown if they wanted to. The greatest animation studio since the golden age of Walt Disney brings their tenth film to the big screen in 2009 and, thanks to their unprecedented track record of critical and popular hits, they've (so far) only been selling Up on a single beautiful image of a small house flying through the sky tethered to thousands of balloons. The story revolves around 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen who avoids being sent to a nursing home and keeps a promise to his late wife to see the world with the help of a tenacious Wilderness Ranger and lots and lots of helium. Might be too sentimental in less skilled hands, but, at this point, it's safe to say that Pixar deserves the benefit of the doubt. (Plus it's the first Pixar movie to be filmed in Disney Digital 3D, so you know it's going to be gorgeous.)

UP!

SnowDog

It was during a blizzard in the late 1990's where 54 inches of snow fell in 48 hours near Ward, Colorado. And this dog loved every moment of it. No snow hill was too deep for him to run around in

Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.

This poor dog is just so upset. It can’t escape the can barrier. It is also apparently limited to right-hand turns.

This is a quick instruction on building your own igloo. In more temperate climates, we'd use snowballs, stolen from the local snowmen. Works great!

OK, this is not your normal definition of dance. But whatever it is, it is a whole lot of skillz, and I think "dance" is as close as anything.

Imagining Ten Dimensions

This is fairly heady stuff, but it's presented clearly - or as clearly as ten dimensional space-time can be. I didn't understand it all, but I still found it fascinating, and I learned something.

Full Motion Gear-driven Paper

Haruki Nakamura’s papercraft does more than just sit there and look pretty. The pieces fit together like gears, and actually turn for a kinetic effect that goes far beyond most papercraft creations. Skip to the 49 second mark on the video to see his papercraft heart in action.

Stunt Plane Loses its Wing.

The crowd shouting "Oh No!" and "Run!!" make sense. What happens next is hard to believe! Personally, I think we've just seen an excellent example of video editing of a remote-control aircraft, and some very good viral marketing!
