I was quite impressed with how well they did with the characterisation of kids, teenagers and a parent who unselfishly loves his child. That was most definitely tear-inducing, in a good way. Yikes. I'm going to go blow my nose now.

I saw this during the animation festival at SIGGRAPH and was quite taken. Super happy to see it posted in public so I can share it around.

Now if only the producers of the "snails do ballet on the wing of an A350" short chooses to post it, I'll be solid on "stuff from SIGGRAPH animation festival I want to share." Well, that and the rocket-man-tiger-caveman thing, which was pretty amusing..

I am a horrible person, because stories about kids who have parents that love them always make me feel bitter and grumpy and alienated. Sigh. I'm sure its actually a lovely video...

Reminded me of Pixar’s Luna

Too early in the day to be making onion pie...

... Well, at least I am working from home - whereas, this short (Lily and the Snowman - it is an "ad", but a good one) was played prior to several movies awhile back... ... Awkward...
