Movie: The five 2011 Oscar nominations for “Best short film (animated)”:
"Day & Night": “Night” and “Day” are ghost shaped entities who discover each other and have to figure out how to co-exist.
“The Gruffalo": A mouse on a quest for nuts runs a gauntlet of a fox, a snake and an owl out to get him.
"Let's Pollute": A satirical piece urging everyone to pollute, pollute, pollute.
"The Lost Thing": Someone finds a really big strange “thing” on the beach and tries to find it a home.
"Madagascar, carnet de voyage" A tourist in Madagascar is invited to watch a burial ceremony.
My two cents: Overall, I was quite disappointed by this year’s nominees. “Day & Night” was moderately amusing. I thought “The Gruffalo” was far and away the cream of the crop – it was absolutely brilliant. The other three ranged from boring to just plain bad. I would love to know what it was about these three that got them nominated.
