OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS 2015: ANIMATED

This year's selections were the best they've been in some time; I think my favorite is Me and My Moulton.

Sadly, though, the award may well go to the very pretty but completely uninspired & unoriginal Disney entry, Feast.

Paperman

In my review of "Wreck-It Ralph," I forgot to mention the absolutely best part of that movie.

The Oscar-Nominated Short Films 2012: Animation

Some years, I can’t decide which feature I love the most, and which is the most worthy of the Academy Award.

The Oscar Nominated Short Films 2011: Live Action

A collection of all five Academy-Award nominated short films, each one pretty interesting & fun to watch.

I wonder if the Academy members actually watch all of these things they're voting on (I actually don't wonder, I highly doubt it).

The Mouse That Soared

An orphaned mouse is adopted and raised by a pair of birds.

Awesome.

Day & Night

This Pixar short, paired with Toy Story 3, is stunning in its inventiveness.

I can't wait to see it again.
