Such is the case with recent winners like 2016. bear story and year 2014 HublotThey are two films that place more emphasis on animation than on storytelling. This year’s list of nominees is as follows: Most of which consist of beautiful animated works with almost no storyline.
that being said Two previous winners in this category (wiper and if anything happens i love you) can combine complex stories with innovative artistic techniques. Hopefully, when Academy voters see my penis year— which presents a twisted visual style with compelling stories about adulthood — they were amazed by the same innovation seen in those previous winners.
unfortunate, my penis year Maybe too provocative for Oscar voters. Boring and gloomy enough The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse. It’s likely to attract a wider audience of Oscar voters than its biggest contenders. Blink and you’ll miss it. flying sailor There are also great shots.

The ostrich tells me the world is deceitful. and i think i believe
This short story—please don’t make me reprint it—doesn’t quite match the hilarious title. But it’s not bad at all. the ostrich tells me It’s sure to attract attention: shoot in lower quality. Wallace and Gromit This short stop-motion comedy follows a weary worker who realizes his entire life is a lie.
The real innovation behind it the ostrich tells me It causes a man to think his life is a lie. We see the story frame by frame, behind the main scene, hands move to adjust stop-motion puppets. The man suspected that his life was fake. After he saw the clay face shattered and the empty closet leading to the used clay fragments, simple and witty the ostrich tells me There may not be an opportunity to take home an Oscar because it is not as polished as its competitors. Still, it’s one of the better stories of the bunch.

Enter in eight minutes flying sailor It’s the shortest shot of the bunch. but still packed The film follows the true story of a sailor who was flown into the stratosphere after the Halifax explosion of 1917, fell to Earth and lived to tell the story.

Ice Merchant
In every five rows, there is always a middle challenger. Ice Merchant It fits in well with that third best position. João Gonzalez’s short stories have a quiet yet slightly memorable charm. It tells the story of a father and son who travel to the depths of the universe to sell ice. They hugged tightly as parachutes flapped behind them as they descended towards the earth. They live on the top of mountain peaks where cold temperatures cause them to create ice for the humans below.
The story moves quickly. Powerfully told through gentle moments that rain down the sky. Snow and love are sprinkled around the two characters in shades of red, gray and white, an animation that resembles the pencil strokes of distant memories and dreams. Supported by Gonzalez himself. Although there is nothing wrong Ice MerchantAnd the animation is definitely charming. The simple story was more memorable than the other nominees.
