This One Time
Forever’s Not So Long
What if you only had a certain amount of time on this planet? What would you do? A question that many films have asked before. This film answers it in its own unique way.

I love this commercial for all of its…imperfections.
Watch the 2008 Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts online
From previous years: 2007 & 2006. Not as technically impressive as the nominees from the last couple of years. Comedies feature prominently this year.
- Lavatory - Lovestory - Line drawings that tell a tender story about one woman’s journey in finding love.
- Oktapodi - Finding Nemo but with octopuses.
- Presto - When the Rabbit outwits the Magician! Brilliant story & lovely animation. Entertaining all the way through.
- This Way Up (iTunes link) - An outrageous story about getting a dead body to its proper place. Kinda like Weekend at Bernie’s.
- La Maison en Petits Cubes - Nothing yet. Anyone?
The Live Action Shorts are almost impossible to find. It might take a couple of days for us to have something.

This short has audience winner written all over it (which it has won in bunches). Sweet, life-affirming and one of the best shorts I’ve seen this year.
