bub and i watched this at the naro last night. they showed all 5 nominated shorts:
- Meme Les Pigeons Vont Au Paradis (Even Pigeons go to Heaven)
- A priest tries to sell an old man a machine that he promises will transport him to heaven. (delightfully funny CG animation)
- Moya Lyubov (My Love)
- In nineteenth-century Russia, a teenage boy in search of love is drawn to two very different women. (beautiful love story and impressionist oil painting animation)
- Madame Tutli-Putli
- A timid woman boards a mysterious night train and has a series of frightening experiences. (really beautiful to watch. the details are amazing)
- I Met the Walrus
- In 1969, fourteen-year-old Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room with his tape recorder and persuaded him to do an interview.(this was amazing and a crowd fave. great line-art illustration)
ALL highly recommended!
- Peter & the Wolf
- A young boy and his animal friends face a hungry wolf in Prokofiev’s classic musical piece. (this is the winner. very funny and great stop-motion of a classic tale)
