Viewing Notes
Didn’t see the other animated short films nominated this year (unlike previous years when I see them all prior to the ceremony) but the others must quite average. This film is fine. Can understand why it worked with the voters. In the sea of animated short films, this would fall somewhere in the middle. I know this to be true when the IMDb score isn’t even a 7 out of ten. For a Oscar winner.
