Last year I previewed all 33 of the Oscar qualifying animated shorts that were up for consideration for the Academy Awards and this year I have 12 additional shorts to consider and I have found either the full short, a clip, a trailer or an image from all but two of the contending shorts and put them together in this one article. These shorts have all been screened for members of the Short Films and Feature Animation Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who will soon vote on the ultimate short list that will be in contention for an Oscar nomination. Last year ten films made the list. Take a look over the next eight pages and see which ones stand out to you. There are a few instances where you may have to click a link to watch a clip and, in one instance, to watch the entire film.

This is the list of 45 animated shorts that the Academy is considering in the Best Animated Shorts category (with links to official sites when I could find them). The Animated, Docs, and Shorts Oscar page is going to be updated piecemeal this week as I work on beating all this information into some form of pundited submission.
Until then, the list. Do you ever try to see the nominees in this category?

Peaches Christ does the unthinkable and returns with a second edition of the wild San Francisco Underground Short Film Festival in 2011! And this new event is a double blow-out with two back-to-back programs of shorts in one scintillating evening.
The fun starts on Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at The Victoria Theatre with the more genteel “Act 1″ block of shorts, compared to the sexy and ultra-violent programming of “Act 2: Shorts After Dark” that begins at 10:10 p.m.
However, with “Act 1″ featuring Waylon Bacon‘s gory and disturbing — and absolutely hilarious — Help Wanted, there’s plenty of outrageousness packed into that first program, so be sure to not miss any of it.
And if 33 short films packed into one night isn’t enough, the entire evening will kick off with Peaches and her co-host Sam Sharkey performing in a live rock show.
The full film lineup is below, but...

Are we, as a nation and as a world community, becoming addicted and reliant on digital? Have we lost our passion for art and the ability to craft things with our hands? Sadly, the answer to those questions seems to be “Yes.”
But, the Scribble Junkies — aka animator best buddies Bill Plympton and Patrick Smith — are looking to knock us out of our binary malaise with their first ever Festival of Drawn Animation held in Brooklyn, New York’s new Nighthawk Cinema. Yes, there are still artists out there making animated short films the old fashioned way: By hand.
And the Scribble Junkies will show you just how amazing and fun they can be!
This is a curated event that will, of course, include work by hand-drawn animation masters Plympton and Smith; but there...
