Based on the entertaining short story, “One-man Band” by Pixar, there were a few themes that really stood out during the entire running time. The first theme for the short story is competition. The two musician competed with each other in order to get a girl donate the coin to them. But things went awry as the once a healthy competition took a turn for the worst. An ugly fight between them ensues. They competed by playing their instruments, which I might say was pretty good. They even tried to take down each other all the while. The second theme is revenge. After all the fight between the two musicians, the girl’s coin fell into a drain. It was a sad moment at first. But then, the little girl started to plot her revenge. She asked a violin from one of the musician as none of them had a penny on them. Then she started playing that instrument. At first both of the musician laughed at the poor young girl as her skills were kind of rusty. But after some minor adjustment to the violin, she started to play. Both of the musician’s jaws dropped as the little girl played beautifully. After a few moments, a passerby dropped a sachet of gold coins. The little girl and also the two musicians were in awe. But then the little girl picked up the sachet and opened it. Inside, there were full of gold coins. As an act of revenge, the little girl took out two coins. The musicians thought that the girl was going to give each of them a coin. But they were in for a shock when the coins that they thought would be theirs were thrown inside the fountain. Both the musicians were in despair while the little girl happily walked away with the bag-full of gold coins.
