Whether it’s Disney, Pixar, or Studio Ghibli, feature length animated films can be at once breathtaking and sublime. There is a sub-genre, however, which receives less attention. Animated shorts have found a new audience since the advent of the internet, but many may still be unaware of their charms. To correct this, here’s a list of 40 wonderful animated short films to send you to a new realm of creative discovery. 1. Partly Cloudy. We start things off with one of Pixar’s many brilliant short animations. This plays on the fairy tale of storks delivering children to waiting parents. Written and directed by Peter Sohn, it was shown to cinemagoers in 2009 before the feature film Up. 2. Kiwi! A melancholic tale of a kiwi who desires to fly. The creature has varied success with his attempts, and there’s an ambiguous ending, but there’s a certain poignancy to the story. 3. Alma. Ex-Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas developed this 2009 animation. Another melancholic effort, it is nonetheless beautifully animated. It follows a child walking around Barcelona – “alma” meaning soul in Spanish, it reflects the maudlin nature of the film. 4. Invention of Love. “A love story from the world of gears and bolts”, this 2010 animation boasts remarkable animation. It consists of a bolt man who doesn’t quite understand how his world works. 5. Steamboat Willie. Walt Disney’s influential 1928 cartoon involved a certain Mickey Mouse. It was the first cartoon to feature fully synchronized sound, but Disney himself assisted with the animation. It’s also the source of parodies, as The Simpsons famously lampooned the cartoon with their Itchy & Scratchy characters. 6. Where is Mama? Essentially a film about tadpoles searching for their mother, Te Wei’s 1960 animation has since been construed as an allegory of a particularly time in Chinese history. It’s worth noting, however, the animation is beautiful. 7. The Old Lady and the Pigeons. Animation specialist Sylvain Chomet began work on this short film in 1991, finishing it circa 1996. In 1997 it won the grand prize at the Annecy Animated Film Festival. Its success paved the way for critically acclaimed feature films such as Bellville Rendezvous and The Illusionist. 8. Johnny Express. Alfred Image Work’s amusing short about an incredibly lazy delivery man in the future. It’s a mildly melancholic, darkly humorous look at the potential future of delivery services. 9. Pong. In 2013 the BBC’s flagship movie review show, hosted by Dr. Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo, held a nationwide competition for short films. Philip Childwell’s charming Pong won the competition, based around a ping pong ball whom heads on an adventure. 10. ALARM. Independent animator Moo-hyun Jang’s take on a familiar concept for all of us – our respective alarms waking us up in the morning. 11. French Roast. Oscar nominated for Best Short Film in 2009, Fabrice O. Jubert (formerly of DreamWorks) displays a high flying businessman running into a sport of bother in a café. 12. Zero. Christopher Kazelos’ stop animation film won numerous awards. This includes “Best Animation” from the LA Shorts Festival. The plot centres around a love story, with concepts such as discrimination also breaches. 13. Geri’s Game. More Pixar based fun as Geri, an ageing gentleman enjoying a game of chess, takes himself on. It won an Oscar in 1997 for Best Animated Short. 14. Minions. The adorable Minions from the popular Despicable Me feature films have spawned several animated shorts. In this one, two Minions bicker pointlessly about a banana. 15. Scrat – Gone Nutty. This 2003 animated short was Oscar nominated. It features the squirrel Scrat from the Ice Age series; he is infatuated with an acorn and destructively anarchic in his attempts to bury it. 16. Lavatory – Lovestory. This 2007 Russian short film was nominated for an Oscar in 2008. Konstantin Bronzit directed, and it depicts the life of a lavatory attendant receiving a pleasant surprise. 17. Harvie Krumpet. Adam Elliot (who later developed the excellent Mary and Max for 2009) directed this tale of Harvie who, despite his troubles, enjoys the simple pleasures of life. It won an Oscar in 2003. 18. The Chubbs-Chubbs! Winner of an Oscar in 2002, this was an effort by Sony Pictures Imageworks to determine their strengths in computer animation. It follows Meeper, a janitor of an alien pub, whose efforts to do good backfire somewhat. 19. For The Birds. Another fine effort from Pixar, who won an Oscar in 2001 thanks to their effort. Typically charming, it features a set of birds attempting to make themselves comfortable on a telephone wire. 20. Father and Daughter. A Dutch animation from 2000 by Michael Dudok de Wit. It bagged an Oscar and some 20 other awards, and it follows the life of a young girl who wonders about her estranged father over many seasons. 21. Bob’s Birthday. From 1993 we find Bob enjoying his birthday. A cute animation, Bob begins to wonder if his dentistry career isn’t what he wanted. 22. A Close Shave. Nick Park’s enduring classic from 1995 follows Wallace and Gromit on a new adventure. Park took his skills to a new level with this story, introducing Shaun the Sheep to the world. 23. The Old Man and the Sea. Based on Ernest Hemingway’s classic novella. Its unique style, which is paint-on-glass animation, takes the story’s classic themes and adds new life. Worthy of the Nobel Prize winning author. 24. Tin Toy. Pixar showing off their skills once again, this time back in 1988. An Oscar winner, its pioneering animation paced the way for the likes of smash hits such as Toy Story. It depicts a young child at play with a toy. 25. The Man Who Planted Trees. Here’s another fine Oscar winner from 1987. Featuring sensational animation, it’s based on Jean Gioni’s eponymous story. It tells the tale of a shepherd’s attempts to re-forest a featureless valley. 26. Balance. Released in 1989, and winner of an Oscar in the same year, Balance is a unique tale which is set in what appears to be a dystopian future. A set of numbered men begin to, essentially, mess around in their environment as they discover the joy of having fun. 27. Bibo. Contemporary fair now from Anton Chistiakov and Mikhail Dmitriev. Bibo is a poignant story about a lonely robot whom invents a luxurious world to ignore the severe nature of reality. 28. Creature Comforts. Nick Parks’ engaging 1990 Oscar winner which began a highly popular series. It follows creatures in a zoo who are interviewed about their experiences. 29. The Wrong Trousers. Nick Park won another Oscar for this superb Claymation film – by 1993 his mastery of the style was renowned. The Wrong Trousers follows Wallace and Gromit through another adventure, with a devious penguin taking advantage of Wallace’s inventive spree. 30. Bunny. Blue Sky Studio’s Oscar winner from 1998, Bunny follows an evening in the life of the eponymous female rabbit. She is bothered by a persistent moth in her home, which leads the way to a fantastical experience. 31. Story Time. Terry Gilliam transformed the surreal Monty Python’s Flying Circus into a show of utter madness. His unusual use of cutout animation was unique at the time (the late 1960s), and paved the way towards his career as a director. Story Time itself begins around the life of Don the Cockroach, but quickly spirals into mayhem. 32. Mr. Hublot. Contemporary animation with the 2014 Oscar winner by Laurent Witz and Alexandre Espigares. The story is set around the eponymous protagonist, who appears to suffer from OCD. His daily routine is shattered by the arrival of a new pet. 33. Paperman. This was Disney’s first Best Animated Short Oscar (which it won in 2013) since 1970. This beautifully looking tale blends traditional animation with modern technology. It tells the story of George, an accountant, whose paper plane making habits are an attempt to woo the woman of his dreams. 34. Strange Invaders. Cordell Barker’s loveably bizarre 2002 animation about a quiet couple whose lives are turned upside down by the sudden arrival of a child. 35. Boundin’ More animated excellence from Pixar, who were Oscar nominated again for this effort. From 2003, this time we follow the life of a sheep who is coveted amongst his peers for his excellent dancing skills. 36. Das Rad. Stop motion from Germany’s Chris Stenner, Arvid Uibel and Heidi Wittlinger. Oscar nominated in 2002, this inventive short tracks a hillside and a couple of sentient rocks from ancient times to the future. 37. Ryan. Chris Landerth’s tribute to Ryan Larkin (an influential Canadian animator). Released in 2004, it won some 60 awards (including an Oscar) for its unique style and emotional depth. Although it appears to use modern live action footage, rotoscoping, or motional capture, none of these techniques were used.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • ASIFA 50 on 50” (Aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the Contest
    “ASIFA 50 on 50” (aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the contest th inspired by the 50 anniversary of International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA) This year, a significant group of artists, producers, festival directors, animation critics and viewers can th celebrate the 50 anniversary of the creation of the International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA), an organization founded by Norman Mc Laren and other exceptional creators in order to unite animation artists from all around the world. th The head of the Association chose 2010 to be the year in which the 50 anniversary is celebrated. As people responsible for the International Etiuda&Anima Film Festival, which is the oldest Polish festival devoted to film education and international animation, we have decided to hold a competition together with ASIFA Poland. The international contest called “ASIFA 50 on 50” focuses on creating a list of 50 best animated shorts created during the 50 years that the Association has been active. The idea was welcomed by the ASIFA and honorary Patronage was provided by the Association President, Mr Nelson Shin from Korea, and Mr Raoul Servais from Belgium, the Honorary President of the celebration. The story is worth remembering. In the 1984, the ASIFA Hollywood decided to celebrate the Los Angeles Olympics together with the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and conducted the famous “Champions of Animation” poll. The idea first occurred to the late Fini Littlejohn, an ASIFA Hollywood member, designer and illustrator working for the Disney Studios.

  • Wallace & Gromit
    WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT Programme Notes If Nick Park and co. at Aardman gradually established themselves as a sort of millennial plasticine Ealing, then surely ‘Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ is their diversion into Hammer horror territory. Aardman’s plunge into the daunting world of feature-length production had begun with ‘Chicken Run’ (2000), which set something of a precedent with its own co-opting of a broad, recognisable genre, on this occasion the wartime prison break drama, and the much-loved Wallace & Gromit followed suit with a good old-fashioned monster spooker. Ok, it tones down its terrors in favour of good old English standbys like garden fêtes, marrow-growing contests, and aerial dogfights, yet this in itself all shows a keen awareness of the frequently clichéd vision of Britain depicted in our genre fare, with emphasis often placed on class-system clashes (compare the respective foxhunter sequences in ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, ‘The Tomb of Ligeia’, ‘The Plague of the Zombies’ and ‘The Final Conflict’, for example – our ‘proper’ horror films straying every bit as far from their fear focus and using traditional imagery to offer comment on wider issues). We probably have as many fictional ‘national treasures’ as we do real ones – for every Florence Nightingale or Mo Farah, say, there’s a ‘James Bond’ or ‘Sherlock Holmes’. An instant hit as soon as ‘A Grand Day Out’ took to the screens in 1989, both Wallace and Gromit leapt on to everyone’s list of praiseworthy favourites, consolidating their success with ‘The Wrong Trousers’ (1993), perhaps their defining half-hour, and ‘A Close Shave’ (1995).

  • 22 VII. the New Golden Age Then Something Wonderful Happened. Just When Everything Was Looking As Grim As It Could for the Art O
    VII. The New Golden Age Then something wonderful happened. Just when everything was looking as grim as it could for the art of animation, technology came to the rescue. Here was an art form born only because technology made it possible, almost died when the human costs in time and effort became too high, and now was rescued by technology again. The computer age saved animation. Since computers first came on the scene in the 50s, there have been people who have tried to create machinery and programs to make animation faster, easier and cheaper to both make and distribute. From machines like copiers and scanners, to computers that can draw and render, to the distribution of animation by cable, Internet, phones, tablets and video games - as one character says, “To infinity and beyond” - animation has been totally reborn. As the old animators of the Golden Age were dying off, the new technologies created a huge demand for the old craft. Fortunately, many of the old men were able to pass on their skills to a younger generation, which has helped the quality of today's animation meet and exceed the animation of the Golden Age. In 1985, Girard and Maciejewski at OSU publish a paper describing the use of inverse kinematics and dynamics for animation.! The first live-action film to feature a complete computer-animated character is released, "YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES."! Ken Perlin at NYU publishes a paper on noise functions for textures. He later applied this technique to add realism to character animations. In 1986, "A GREEK TRAGEDY" wins the Academy Award.

  • Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2017
    Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2017 www.foylefilmfestival.org WELCOME Welcome to the Foyle Film Festival – yes it is THAT time of year again. But this is an extra special time for the festival as it celebrates its 30th year. The programme has increased to 10 days in order to celebrate this milestone birthday in style with a jam-packed programme of screenings and special guest events. The festival launches with the Northern Ireland Premiere of Battle Of The Sexes – the true story of the famous tennis match between women’s world champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex–men’s champion Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). The event became one of the most popular televised sports events of all time. The Closing Night film is The Man Who Invented Christmas and recounts how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) created Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Other highlights include the Shorts To Features Conference with special guest Jim Sheridan in conversation about his long and distinguished career. Jim Sheridan will also introduce a special screening of My Left Foot in Brunswick Moviebowl. The cult movie Withnail And I shares Foyle Film Festival’s 30th birthday celebrations this year, and the festival programme includes a special screening with Richard E. Grant in attendance to talk about this hilarious classic and his career in the film industry. The festival pays tribute to the late Sam Shepard with a screening of Days Of Heaven. In a special event following the screening, Stephen Rea and Judith Roddy will read from the short stories of Sam Shepard.
