Academy Awards took a cleaver and shortened their Best Short Animation list from 37 to 10. My favorite is The Cat Piano, an eight-minute Aussie short narrated by Nick Cave.
In Contention website introduced me to this short. It’s a real gem of a short, so I am sharing it with you.
Here is the full list of the Academy’s short list:
• “The Cat Piano,” Eddie White and Ari Gibson, directors (The People’s Republic of Animation)
• “French Roast,” Fabrice O. Joubert, director (Pumpkin Factory/Bibo Films)
• “Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty,” Nicky Phelan, director, and Darragh O’Connell, producer (Brown Bag Films)
• “The Kinematograph,” Tomek Baginski, director-producer (Platige Image)
• “The Lady and the Reaper (La Dama y la Muerte),” Javier Recio Gracia, director (Kandor Graphics and Green Moon)
• “Logorama,” Nicolas Schmerkin, producer (Autour de Minuit)
• “A Matter of Loaf and Death,” Nick Park, director (Aardman Animations Ltd.)
• “Partly Cloudy,” Peter Sohn, director (Pixar Animation Studios)
• “Runaway,” Cordell Barker, director (National Film Board of Canada)
• “Variete,” Roelof van den Bergh, director (il Luster Productions)
