Presto is a short film released with the theatrical release of WALL•E. Doug Sweetland made his directorial debut with the film, and also voices the two main characters, Presto and Alec Azam. The movie is about a magician and his hungry rabbit, Alec Azam. At the beginning of the short, Alec is seen locked in his cage trying to reach a carrot inches out of his reach. Presto comes in after a show to test his magic trick of pulling Alec out of a hat. After he sees the that the trick works, Presto goes on stage to begin his show, leaving Alec thinking he will be fed the carrot. When Presto tries to perform the trick on stage, he cannot find Alec, and looks to see that Alec had taken the hat off. Agitated, Presto tries to reach Alec, but ends up pulling a mousetrap out of the hat instead. To try to get Alec to put the hat on, Presto throws an egg into the hat, only to have it bounce up and hit him in the eye. Presto then makes a carrot appear, puts on the hat used to grab Alec. He then turns the carrot into a flower, making Alec angry, and putting the other hat into an air pipe, making Presto's face red and his hair sticking up. He once again tries to grab Alec, but Alec sticks his hand into an electrical socket, electrocuting Presto. Frustrated and angry, Presto tries to get Alec once again, but gets his pants ripped off. He then sees a ladder, and attempts to hit Alec with it, but instead is hit by the ladder as it shoots out of the hat. Extremely angry now, he chases Alec behind the stage, and is pulled by a a rope into the air, but soon slips and falls with many heavy objects falling above him. Alec then saves Presto from being crushed by making him fall into the hat. After a short pause, the crowd begins to cheer for Alec and Presto. Alec, in a bad mood, begins to walk away when Presto beckons him to come over. To cheer Alec up, Presto makes a carrot appear, which Alec eats when he comes out of the hat.


Presto has been nominated for an Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject.
