Maybe they wanted to get it out for best animated short? In and of itself, I think that single minute could hold its own against the five to ten minute shorts that usually get those awards.
I know it takes Pixar about five years from start to finish to get a movie out, so I'm pretty impressed that they have that much done by press time.
I had also read that this movie may be
payback by Pixar/Disney against DreamWorks for releasing the Shrek DVD the same day that Monsters, Inc. came to the theaters. Could be that Pixar/Disney is looking to start the media campaign early just to ensure a victory over DreamWorks at the box-office.
