Oscar-Nominated Shorts: Animation

Very high quality sampling of the world's best animation. All showed a high level of skill and imagination. My favorite was from France - Mr. Hublot - which used a steampunk/ Terry Gilliam design that tickled me all the way through. Great sound design too.

For me the weakest entry was the Japanese film Possessions. Old fashioned animation style and theme essentially replicated what Miyazaki was doing twenty years ago.

Overall this was a fine display of the range of talent working in studios all over the world.
