A likeable enough group, in which the expected contenders (why hello there, Pixar) sit alongside unknowns whose styles are just varied enough to avoid monotony. February 13, 2017 | Full Review…

The odds-on favorite to win this year's Oscar for best animated short film is Alan Barillaro's Piper... I'd hate to be one of the other animators... especially since most of them have better films in competition. February 10, 2017 | Full Review…

The shorts run the gamut from failure to success, the outcome depending largely on the degree to which they innovate rather than recycle clichés. February 5, 2020 | Full Review…

My theory for the category is that the short that brings you closest to tears-or, perhaps, just the one that inspires any emotional response at all-is the one that will win. March 10, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

My pick: 'Pearl,' blending new VR tech with old-fashioned characters and emotions, demonstrating storytelling possibilities that are beginning to open up. February 20, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Usually this category is good for at least one gut-bustingly funny entry. This year's nominees, though, are overwhelmingly somber. February 9, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
