Storyline

In a dark room, Agent Rick Dicker interrogates Kari, a young girl with braces. He asks what happened. Kari explains that she was babysitting for an infant, Jack-Jack, who seems able to levitate, float, pass through walls, catch fire, and cause havoc. Kari stays nimble but barely holds on until an odd young man with orange hair and an "S" on his shirt rings the bell.

Jack-Jack Attack (2005)

*** (out of 4)

A somewhat snotty teen blows off the mother of the baby she's watching because she thinks she knows what she's doing but soon the baby is doing special tricks of his own and soon after wards the babysitter is in over her head. This was a pleasant short from Pixar that has plenty of nice laughs but the real reason to watch this is for the extremely imaginative animation. I really loved all the scenes with the baby floating from room to room and the scene where he turns into fire was especially funny. I loved the overall look of the animation because it was a tad bit darker than some of their other shorts because this here, at times, could pass off as a little horror film. The braces-wearing teen was very annoying but in a charming kind of way.
