Lots of complaints roll around each year surrounding the inclusion of Best Short Films at the Oscars, the primary concern is that the masses just don’t ever get a chance to see them. Usually a local art house theater will play them for a limited engagement for that small niche audience and you can almost indefinitely catch at least one of the nominees in front of a Pixar/Disney film from the year but most of them slip under the radar of most moviegoers. Well here’s a chance to take a look at all five nominees before the big night rolls around so that you’re amongst the elite few who can boast that you’ve seen ’em.
Included in the Best Animated Short category this year is Minkyu Lee‘s Adam and Dog, Fresh Guacamole by PES, Head Over Heels by Timothy Reckart and Fodhla Cronin O’Reilly, Disney‘s Paperman and the Simpson’s short The Longest Daycare by David Silverman.
At this point, I’ve got my money on Disney’s Paperboy because it’s buzzing hard for the win. Adam and Dog is a decent back-up but I know where it’s not where I’ll be filling in my mark.
