It’s nice to know that Disney hasn’t completely given up on hand-drawn animation and that they’re also still able to come up with innovative shorts. With Paperman nominated for a Best Animated Short Oscar, the full film has now been put online, presumably in the hope as many Oscar voters will get to see it as possible.
It’s a sweet and charming black and white mix of hand-drawn and CG animation, telling the story of a young man’s attempts to get the attention of a girl he previously met on a train platform. It’s sweet, charming and stylish, so take a look.
