Lifted<\/strong> – came in late and missed it, but it’s supposed to screen in front of Ratatouille<\/a><\/em> so I’ll get another chance.<\/p>\n

The Danish Poet<\/strong> – saw the end, didn’t look impressive, but cute maybe.<\/p>\n

Maestro<\/strong> – cool, the inner workings of a cuckoo clock (that being the twist ending) with the camera moving around the room in increments like a second hand. Landmark liked it so much they played it twice in a row (or that’s because their heads are up their asses as usual).<\/p>\n

The Little Matchgirl<\/strong> – too smooth looking, too disney looking, and too many credited animators. Unfairly sad little thing.<\/p>\n

No Time For Nuts<\/strong> – an Ice Age<\/em> short, also unfair. More importantly, not especially good\/funny, not half as good as the Madagascar<\/em> penguin short. Prehistoric squirrel-thing finds a time machine and it teleports him and his sole acorn all over, ending in the future with a fake oak tree. Poor guy.<\/p>\n

A Gentleman’s Duel<\/strong> – 3D short with people, never a good idea but this one looked quite good. Uptight brit and uptight frenchie duel in battletech suits over pretty girl who ends up getting nekked with her butler\/servant\/whatever. Has its moments.<\/p>\n

Guide Dog<\/strong> – only crossover with The Animation Show<\/a> and my favorite of this bunch. Too bad, the Oscars could learn a lot from Judge and Hertzfeldt.<\/p>\n

One Rat Short<\/strong> – brown rat follows cheetos bag into rat lab run by red-eyed robot where he falls for white rat. Cheetos bag causes chaos and the gates are all opened, brown rat escapes but white rat is left behind. SAD MOVIE.<\/p>\n

The Passenger<\/strong> – kid is scared of dog, sits on bus next to fish in plastic bag that turns into hideous huge creature when he turns on his walkman. Funny, cool little piece.<\/p>\n

Wraith of Cobble Hill<\/strong> – ugh, brooklyn kid with drunk mom drinks cough syrup with his friends, gets key to shop while owner is “out of town”, finally “saves” owner’s dog from rat-infested store. Claymation whatever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
