This is a list of Pixar shorts. Beginning with Pixar's second film A Bug's Life, all subsequent Pixar feature films have been shown along with a theatrically-released Pixar-created short. Other Pixar shorts, released only on home media, were created to showcase what Pixar can do (either technologically or cinematically), or were created specifically for a client.

Also, beginning with A Bug's Life, Pixar has created extra content for each of their films that is not part of the main story. For their early theatrical releases, this content was in the form of "movie outtakes" and appeared as part of the movie's credits. For each of their films since Monsters, Inc. (Finding Nemo excluded), this content was a short made exclusively for the DVD release of the film.[1] As of 2008, all of the short films except BURN-E, are available to purchase on Apple's iTunes Store.
