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.

The Imitation Game



Sherlock Holmes (and/or Khan) & the one woman from Pirates of the Caribbean and some other people have some brainy adventures, and it's really suspenseful & super-cool.

I don't think there's going to be a sequel.

The Wind Rises



Starts out on such a whimsical, fantasy-rich level, of course I was disappointed as I realized the whole thing could not end well.

While I respect the artist's annual assertions of having just made his last film, I do hope that when he does finally bow out, it's on a note so cute as to make Hello Kitty's teeth hurt.
