Lifted is a 2006 Pixar computer animated short film directed by Gary Rydstrom. This is the first film directed by Rydstrom, a seven-time Academy Award winning sound editor and mixer.

Plot of the Movie:

An alien teenager named Stu taking his abduction exam must snatch a sleeping farmer under the critical supervision of his instructor, Mr. B. However, there are thousands of unlabeled switches to choose from in order to get the human into the tractor beam to the ship, and he cannot seem to choose the right one. After failing to successfully "lift" the human into the ship (he almost succeeds, but forgets to close the door on the bottom of the ship before turning off the tractor beam), Mr. B takes over, returns the farmer back to his room, and cleans up the mess that Stu had made. Grieving over his failure, Stu starts whimpering, trying to hold back his tears and not show any to Mr. B. Mr. B, feeling sorry for him, allows him to launch the space ship back home. Full of glee, Stu takes hold of the joystick, confidence in learning to abduct another day clear on his face, and starts to lift the ship into the air, but once again, he fails to correctly do so, and the space ship crushes the farmer's house (leaving nothing but a crater with a tall pillar of dirt in the center, atop which the farmer is still sleeping soundly in his bed) before finally lifting off. During the end credits can be heard the sound of an alarm clock, the farmer waking up, then a Wilhelm scream, and finally, a thud.

I really liked Ratatouille, and thought Lifted was a cute, great intro to the flick. I'm glad I can watch it again.

Hi Mandm, it was not a big movie, I don't know why they remove it. They want us to pay $20 for a 5 minute video.
