Last night we saw the Animated Shorts with Scott.
As usual there were great films and bad films, but overall they were great.
One (Mysterious Geographical Explorations of Jasper Morello) was nominated for an Academy Award this year but didn't win. That one was the kids' and Scott's favorite.
Speaking of Oscars, another nominated short we got to see last year, which again, was the kids' favorite then.
Anyway, they were all really really good and again I wish there was a way you could see some of these. Just to give the tiniest bit of publicity to them, my favorites were:
John & Michael (A very tender love story about two men with Down syndrome (animation) 11 minutes)
Bingo
The Legend of the Scarecrow (The life of a scarecrow changes radically when he decides to become friends with a bird.)
Maestro
Fumi and the Bad Luck Foot
And I also really enjoyed "The Boy Who Feeds Cats" - dir. Craig and Andrea Brookes
By the way, if you're going to make a creepy movie about a scary doll baby who sucks on its arm and generally gives the audience the heeby jeebies, maybe don't make it TWENTY FREAKIN MINUTES LONG because honestly? Your movie sucked. Spike and I both agreed we spent the entire movie wishing the baby would just GET EATEN ALREADY so the movie would finally end.
Other than scary freaky doll baby though, the shorts were great.
