Oscar Shorts Swanking - 2011

Ghoulish Delight · 03-01-2011, 07:47 AM

Agreed on all points on the animated. Except that I think the Gruffalo could have been saved by giving it some pace and life rather than the odd decision to make it a dull trudge.

Without getting too spoilery, that's not quite an accurate description of Wish 143. But more importantly it was really well done. Funny, emotional, and meaningful without being cloying or oppressive.

Na WeWe was weird. I started to think early on that it was a comedy, then I started to question it because, while it still seemed like they were delivering punch lines, I felt like I just didn't really get the joke. I mean, I think I got the bottom line point of it, but it felt like it was a bunch of inside jokes for locals.

God of Love I liked but I'm a little surprised it won.
