Cool to see The Mystery of the Leaping Fish nominated, it's a weird ass film. I'll be rooting for the Hertzfeldt short, but I doubt it will have much success.

You should have joined so you could put my nom on top of your list!!!!

I encourage everyone to use the SPOILERS tag, so everyone who already saw the shorts can discuss freely!

There's another. That happened to me as well

I wasn't sure what it was meant to be about. Gluttony perhaps.

Paperman has better animation. Reminded me a bit of fantasia animation.

Lol at your spoiler for dust. I thought exactly the same on all your points. Rip to a magnificent actor. What a loss.

What did you think of paperman.

Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo

Damn, this looks stunning!!! It's a Ghibli production so I was with my hopes pretty high but I surely wasn't expecting this!

View Spoilers

WARNING: "spoiler" spoilers below

I love the fact that the explosions of the buildings and streets were not CGI, but real explosions, gave it an awesome look. And the giants are freaking scary.

Also, I loved how the seven days of destruction were based on the seven days of creation.

The only bad part about this it's that it's too short! I wanted it to continue!!!

This will do well on this HoF, I think!

Dust

Another one with a huge surprising at the end.

WARNING: "HUGE SPOILER" spoilers below

I was expecting everything except Alan Rickman being an addicted toothfairy!!!!!

There isn't much to say that isn't spoiling this, but it's a really nice short movie!

The Ventriloquist

A tale about a man that lives in the shadow of his puppet. I loved the ending, and Kevin Spacey is quite goot in this, as obvious!!!

Peace on Earth

A charming cartoon, that may have been pretty scary for kids at that time. WW II was about to start so this must have created some impact.
I found the ending, with the bible thing a little bit preachy but in general I quite liked it! The soundtrack is cute!!

11 watched, 9 to go!

I haven't watched anything yet. I do remember an animated short that I seen once on a DVD extra, about the end of the world brought on by fighting and I recall mice in a bombed out church...was there such a scene in Peace on Earth?

Squirrels, could be what I was thinking of. I will watch it soon and see. If it's the same one that I recall, I was very impressed with it! I've never seen another animated short like it. Now! I'm very curious to watch it.
