Geri's Game
Sometimes you don't need more than one person to not feel alone.
Directed by Jan Pinkava
Produced by Pixar
A charming, visually delightful short about an elderly man finding joy and companionship through a chess game with himself, celebrating resilience and the power of play.
An aging codger named Geri plays a daylong game of chess in the park against himself. Somehow, he begins losing to his livelier opponent. But just when the game's nearly over, Geri manages to turn the tables.
