Presto Synopsis
Presto is a famous magician who uses two real life magical hats to perform the famous trick of "pulling a rabbit out of a hat". But when Presto forgets to feed his hungry rabbit, the mischievous bunny refuses to perform before he is fed. As a result, the rabbit uses the magical hats to avoid performing the trick. Presto is forced to work around the rabbit's refusal to work, which complicates his entire act. Pixar.com: Presto
