Hilarious Live-Action Re-enactment of Pixar’s Opening Credit Scene

Here’s a chap named Nils Solana doing his best to recreate Pixar’s famous pre-credit scene:

“I thank all the people who have made the success of this intro possible,” Solana writes (translated from his native Catalan). “Anyone who needs a good intro, contact me.”
