Our very own Shattuck Cinemas was showing the five animated short films nominated for Oscars this year. Wow - the longer films could learn a thing or two.
A strange tale about a man who can't pay his coffee bill. A old lady who welcomes death. Wallace and Gromit (huge cheer when that appeared)! A granny who doesn't know how to tell a fairy story. And finally one of the most extreme and subversive pieces of animation I have ever seen (and one for every business school student to watch).
For your viewing pleasure (click on the outward arrows in the bottom-right to make them BIG!):
Sadly only a trailer for the next one, but if you want to see the work in its complete genius then you can here (warning: parental consent definitely needed):
