Sneak preview

Every year I wonder about all of the short films, animated shorts, and documentaries that are mentioned in the Academy Awards, but do I ever get to see them? No. Probably people who have Netflix have these at their fingertips, but otherwise I don't know who sees them. That's why I was glad when PBS shared a sampling of the animated short films up for awards this year:



Fun! I like the one about Madagascar, and "the Lost Thing." OK, I like "The Gruffalo" also. These films are less than 15 minutes, but take two and a half years to make, a labor of love for sure.
