This animated short film tells the story of an old man, who plays a game of chess with himself in the park. As he loses the game, he decides to turn things around with a drastic move."Geri's Game" is an interesting animation, as we see only one character but he plays both sides of the game. In the middle of the film, it gets unclear whether there is really just one man or there are two. Yet, I think the ending resolves this issue. It is a funny animation, but it is not as outstanding as the recent Pixar short animations.

It is probably because Pixar have done little else but set a very high bar for themselves, but for this short film I was a little disappointed by how straightforward it was. The plot sees an old man called Geri set up a chess board in the park and proceed to play against himself by swapping chairs each move; as the game becomes more intense, Original Geri (OG) finds himself under threat of losing.The idea is a nice one here and the animation impresses as it always seems to do with Pixar, albeit that compared to later advances you can see the lack of texturing and detail back then, but this is a limit of the period not the film. The films builds nicely as we see the game unfold but to me the ending was not strong enough or funny enough to really make an impact. The closing joke is a simple one that doesn't really make sense in the context since he is only really cheating himself (although more is not made of this) and although I was amused by the short, I didn't find it gave me the sort of impact (comedy or emotion) that many of the Pixar shorts can do.For sure this is worth seeing because the films from Pixar mostly are worth seeing, but it is a solid short, not a great one and as such it is below the very high bar that they have established for themselves.

This animation film is produced by Pixar studios. An elder man plays chess. However there is no opponent. He plays chess by himself and he changes his character. One is very quiet and cowardly, another is confident in himself and plays chess provocatively. At the beginning, he seems to be lonely because there is no one around him, in this place he is alone. On the other hand, he really enjoys playing chess so gradually loneliness will disappear. There is no dialogue but it isn't needed. Without lines we can enjoy this movie. This is an animation but it shows many expressions like really human. In the course of watching, I misunderstand there are two elder man. Through this animation film, I rediscover that the animation technology of Pixar is very high. The animation technology is shown up not only in the elder man's expression but also in the background landscape. The landscape is so beautiful and it looks like a picture. I think everyone should watch this film once.

this is another of animated short by Pixar.i thought it was alright.it's kinda cute,but maybe a bit redundant.the story is really simple,about an old man and a chess game.i didn't find it all that funny,but it was mildly amusing.of course,i had just previously watched Lifted(another Pixar short)which i thought was excellent,so maybe that raised my expectation for this one.still,it's a good little film,(just under 5 minutes)with excellent animation,as always.i did really like the ending.it thought that was kinda neat.Pixar has a collection of animated shorts(13,i believe)on DVD,if you wanna see more of them.anyway,for me,Geri's Game is a solid 7/10
