A wordless romance

Disney released their short animated movie ‘Paperman‘ last year, and it’s in contention for this year’s Oscars.  I think it’s got a pretty good chance.  See for yourself.  I recommend watching it in full-screen mode.

All together now:  Awwwww!

  1. As my oldest child told me after watching this, "If you don't tear up when you see this, YOU DON'T HAVE A SOUL!"
    I totally agree with her.

  2. Yes, o.k. – incredibly cutesy, and all that…

    But –

    What's wrong with that, anyway?

    This is what people like Disney do – or, at least, like what they used to do – better than…anything.

    What they should do more of.

    So people can have more things that – make them feel good about being…you know…human…even as screwed-up as things so often are.

    And about sometimes – despite everything that goes wrong, or tries to go wrong, or tries to defeat them – getting at least a small "win"…

    Very nice – thank you.

  3. I loved this when I saw it here a few days ago and was please to see it win best animated short film (I think) on the Oscars tonight. It was the only thing on the show tonight that I had seen.
