\nNarrated memoir of three girls growing up in a normal town with not-normal parents – they are art and design obsessed, and when the kids ask for bicycles they finally get a weird one the proud parents have mail-ordered. Kove won best picture in 2006 for The Danish Poet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\nWe saw this before, playing with Big Hero 6<\/a><\/em>, and I forgot to mention it then. Dog’s-eye-view of food, food, doomed human relationship, more food. Osborne worked on Bolt<\/em>, Tangled<\/a><\/em> and Wreck-It Ralph<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-feast.jpg\")

\nOne of my favorite things: wall drawings and real objects interacting, 2D and 3D blending, like the drawn animations on paper-mache backgrounds in Rocks In My Pockets<\/a><\/em>, or in a different sense, the dimension-based drama of Rabbit and Deer<\/a><\/em>. But while I love the idea, it’s still a drab little story about fighting siblings and a dying parent.<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-picture.jpg\")

\nMy favorite – also the shortest. Woman puts a 45 on the player, and finds that if she skips to different parts of the record, she travels to different times in her own life. IMDB claims the story was conceived on a drunken college night.<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-single.jpg\")

\nLonely pig runs the windmill that keeps the darkness at bay, but nobody in town loves or respects him so one day he lets the darkness in. Both directors worked on Pixar movies. This was cool, dark and imaginative, so naturally there’s talk of sequels and franchises and live-action remakes.<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-dam.jpg\")

\nA student film, I think. A caterpillar is fat!<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-cocoon.jpg\")

\nKeane has been in animation forever, was a lead character animator on many Disney features, and this is his first solo film. A boy is sporty, and a girl is graceful, and they like each other, all in one continual, fluid animation. Katy thought it reinforced oppressive gender roles, but that was before she saw the new Cinderella<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-duet.jpg\")

\nAnother memoir, this time of a young woman who dreams of being a bus driver, so rents a shitty bus from its grumpy owner. Tali made La Pirouette<\/em>, which I saw in 2002 and liked, though I can’t remember at all.<\/p>\n![](\"\/journal\/image15\/oscars-bus.jpg\")
