Best Animated Shorts
Available online: the Academy Awards 2008 nominees for Best Animated Short Subject. A sampling:
Madame Tutli-Putli
Directed by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski of the National Film Board, Madame Tutli-Putli is probably my personal favorite, and I specifically like their use of live-action eyes which were painstakingly integrated with the animated puppets.
“Madame Tutli-Putli boards the night train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past. She travels alone, facing both the kindness and menace of strangers. As day descends into dark, she finds herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure. Adrift between real and imagined worlds, Madame Tutli-Putli confronts her demons and is drawn into an undertow of mystery and suspense.”
