Disney's Silent Short Film: "Paperman"


Introducing a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with the Oscar®-nominated short, "Paperman." Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him.

I'm only watching the Oscars to see if this wins. It has to win! Oh this was the highlight of Wreck-It Ralph. A sweet surprise I wasn't expecting!! Also, here's a song about this movie.

A gorgeous short, but not my favorite (I'm really partial to La Luna). I'd love to see this style in a longer animated film

Perfect. This should win. Haven't seen any of the other nominees this year, but compared to the work in previous years this is PHENOMENAL.

I saw it before Wreck-it Ralph (bit random, but a lot of the kiddies were awwwng through it) and loved it.
