OSCAR ANIMATIONS - 3

Four more Academy Award winning short animations.


Logorama

Fantastic Flying Books... by Joyce & Oldenburg (2011) (USA) (15m)

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore won the Best Short Animation Oscar in 2012. There are lots of ideas crammed into this inventive short animation and it is a lovingly crafted animation using a variety of techniques. The idea is that books add colour to your life and it starts with a Wizard of Oz tornado that lands our hero in a book-centric world. Joyce and Oldenburg had already worked together on the 2005 feature film, Robots.


The Lost Thing by Ruhemann & Tan (2010) (Australia/UK) (15m)

The Lost Thing comes from a story book by Shaun Tan, who was heavily involved in the production of this short alongside British producer and animator Andrew Ruhemann. It follows the story of a boy who finds a "lost thing" on the beach - a bit like a large octopus stuck in an even larger teapot, it acts like a puppy. The problem is that it is lost, so the boy takes it home with him. However, this cannot last and the lost thing must be taken and left elsewhere.

Logorama

Logorama by François Alaux (2009) (France) (16m)

Written and directed by Frenchmen François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy & Ludovic Houplain, Logorama won the Best Short Animation Oscar in 2010. It is a computer animation with a vibrant, Pulp Fiction feel to it (so expect some strong language straight up!) that starts with the Michelin police spying the fugitive, Ronald McDonald, and pursuing him through a Los Angeles comprised entirely of logos. Cool! The sound was done by the uploader here, Human.


House On Little Cubes by Kunio Katô (2008) (Japan) (12m) *

House On Little Cubes (Tsumiki No Ie) by Kunio Kato won the Oscar in 2009. As his town floods, an old man is forced to add levels onto his home in order to stay dry. But when he drops his favorite pipe into the watery levels below, his scuba-diving search prompts him to relive scenes from his life. It is a bit of a weepy (OK, it's a huge weepy) and could be considered the animated version of The Last 3 Minutes.
