With one coin to make a wish at the piazza fountain, a peasant girl encounters two competing street performers who'd prefer the coin to find its way into their tip jars. The little girl, Tippy, is caught in the middle as a musical duel ensues between the one-man bands. (HBO Europe)

If we overlook the rather illogical and actually quite bad Czech title, beneath this short film lies another treasure from Pixar. At first, it seems like just a duel between two warriors, or rather, musicians, but the creators once again manage to surprise with a punchline that is amusing, yet also delightfully cruel. This is something that fits perfectly into an animation and in this case, it works well. Furthermore, the setting is once again chosen perfectly. I personally prefer Pixar shorts that are not derived from their feature films.

An excellent short from Pixar, One Man Band, appeared in movie theaters as a supporting feature with Cars. With just 4 minutes of running time, it manages to make you laugh, it entertains and contributes to a positive mood. This time it depicts the struggle between two street musicians for a little girl’s coin.

Imaginative and original - a real "battle of versatile musical artists". The best was of course the little girl - what's small is cute. But don't be fooled - sneakiness is her middle name!
