At the end of last week, Cartoon Brew published the names of the 33 animated shorts that will compete for the Oscar for best animation short next year.
We’ve been digging around fetching some of them to get a look at all of them. Some only trailers, but others we got excerpts and even, in some cases, the full shorts.
It’s a good showcase of different styles of animation, no doubt, and that is great.
After having a look, tell us which ones you think will be the nominated ones (or even the one who will win).
