The Little Matchgirl<\/em> (2006, Roger Allers)<\/strong>, which I saw in theaters<\/a>. Huh, it was supposed to be part of a third Fantasia<\/em> feature, hence the music score with no dialogue or effects. Oscar-nominated with The Danish Poet<\/em> and Pixar’s Lifted<\/em>. Allers worked on The Prophet<\/em>, which we missed at filmstreams this year.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo<\/em> (2004, Mike Gabriel)<\/strong>, great one, jazzy and dancey. Blue cat in a rich house taunts the street cats outdoors, gets cursed so his puffy tail will have a mind of its own. Gabriel codirected Pocahontas<\/em> and The Rescuers Down Under<\/em>. This was oscar-nominated along with Ryan<\/em> and Guard Dog<\/a><\/em>, and I’m surprised I never saw it until now. Also part of the cancelled Fantasia 3<\/em>, along with Destino<\/em> and South African kite-flying short One By One<\/em>.<\/p>\n

John Henry<\/em> (2000, Mark Henn)<\/strong>, strange, unfinished-looking with squigglevision pencil marks visible around the blocky human figures. Katy recognized the voice of narrator Alfre Woodard. Part of Disney’s post-Lion King<\/a><\/em> discovery of non-white people.<\/p>\n

How to Hook Up Your Home Theater<\/em> (2007, Deters & Wermers)<\/strong>, cute, fast-paced Goofy short with lots of classic-Disney references. Has a shot-on-film look to it (it wasn’t: made with cintiqs and toon boom). Played in theaters with National Treasure 2<\/em> for some reason.<\/p>\n

Tick Tock Tale<\/em> (2010, Dean Wellins)<\/strong>, sentimental story of novelty clock in a clock shop (where all the timepieces come to life after hours, natch) who saves the others from a burglary but is destroyed in the process. Will the clockmaker repair the heroic clock or leave it in pieces in the trash? Not telling! Wellins is a writer\/animator\/composer involved with The Iron Giant<\/em> and The Princess and the Frog<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Prep & Landing: Operation Secret Santa<\/em> (2010, Deters & Wermers)<\/strong>, where two elves are on a Mission: Impossible<\/em>-referencing assignment from Mrs. Claus to retrieve a trinket from Santa’s workshop so she can give him a sentimental Christmas gift. Apparently a spinoff from a half-hour special released with the 3D version of Monsters Inc<\/em>. Dave Foley played one of the elves – coincidentally since we just rewatched A Bug’s Life<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Ballad of Nessie<\/em> (2011, Deters & Wermers)<\/strong>, poem about how Nessie the sea monster was displaced from her natural habitat by mini-golf course construction, and cried herself a new lake to live in, surely displacing thousands of mammals in her selfish quest to find a new home. Narrated by Billy Connolly, the only Scotsman known to Hollywood. I liked the tartan-patterned hills.<\/p>\n

Then we rewatched Paperman<\/a><\/em>, Feast<\/a><\/em> and Get a Horse<\/a><\/em>, and skipped Frozen Fever<\/a><\/em> and Tangled Ever After<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
