Short List of Short Animated Films

Here is a truly great link that gets you to 8 of the 10 short animated films, 5 of which will make up the five nominees:

I really hope the last two will join this club, because it is so much fun to watch them and discuss them amongst ourselves, and then have a real opinion on them at the awards ceremony.  I think that it has also raised the interest in short animation as a genre to have a wider audience for them, even before the finalists are announced.
One thing that I have noticed is that there is a certain degree of darkness associated with many of the nominees, and one has an out and out swear word in it, so while animated, they are not exactly suited to young children (the two Dreamworks nominees and the Pixar one are largely good hearted fun, but even Bird Karma has a bit of a dark side.  In any case, enjoy, the whole undertaking will take about an hour, and is well worth it.
