3 most successful short films
It's no secret that animation companies regularly accompany their full-length cartoons with small "gifts", the role of which is played by short films for five to ten minutes.
Viewers can watch cartoons of this kind for free before they are presented with the "main course" — the cartoon for which they directly paid money. Let's see what kind of short films they are, and whether they should be created at all.
Over the past couple of years, three of the most notable short films have been created. The first is "La Luna", which first appeared on wide screens before the movie "Braveheart" in June 2011. Subsequently, the cartoon was nominated for an Oscar as the best animated short film; alas, that year another film won the coveted statuette – "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," which we'll talk about a little further.
So, let's start watching cartoons: the Bambino boy goes on an unusual journey with his grandfather and father for the first time. They sail out into the ocean on a wooden boat, and then climb to the moon. This is how Bambino learns for the first time about how unusual his father and grandfather are doing. He is given the opportunity to repeat after them or to find some kind of occupation of his own. Bambino makes a choice in favor of the latter.
The author (and director) of the cartoon, Enrico Casarosa, noted that when writing the story, he used not only personal experiences, but also the work of authors such as Italo Calvino and Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
Fans of watching thoughtful comedies will certainly enjoy the short film "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore." The creator of this cartoon, William Joyce, is also the author of the literary basis for "Guardians of Dreams": a 2012 feature film. So, Mr. Morris Lessmore is sitting at work on his balcony, which is located in New Orleans. He's writing his memoirs. A sudden wind picks up everyone–Mr. Lessmore, the memoirs, and the balcony–and carries them off into the unknown distance. In the new space of the unknown, Mr. Lessmore is surrounded by books that are quite animated in their behavior.
A special charm of "Fantastic flying books ..." is given by the fact that the main character of the cartoon is surprisingly similar to Buster Keaton (the famous American comedian of the beginning of the last century). Even Mr. Lessmore's costume completely repeats the outfit of the star of "Sherork Jr.": the same flattened hat, the same cane, the same suit. The same impassive, but open-minded face. It is not surprising that this particular cartoon won the Oscar in 2011.
Another significant work is "Paper Novel", a short cartoon supplement to "Ralph" (the cartoon was released in 2012). This exquisite comedy is made in the style of American films of the late twenties and early thirties. "Paper Novel" could be compared to King Vidor's "The Crowd" if the last film had a happy ending.
There is no way two people can meet in a big city: an office worker and a beautiful stranger he met at the train station. Noticing her from the window of his own office, the main character begins to launch paper airplanes in order to somehow attract the girl's attention, and it is these airplanes that connect them together in the finale.
