New Short Animations

I recently added a new page of animated short films to my short films website.

The first new animation film is Alma by Rodrigo Blaas, a Spanish animator who has worked on Pixar features such as Wall-Eand Up.  Alma is something close to an animation horror! Alma is the name of the title character, an angelic little girl who is writing her name on a wall when she spies a doll in a shop window that looks exactly like her.

She enters the empty shop. The doll keeps moving but Alma is determined to get her hands on it…


Alma won the Best Animation award at the LA Shorts Fest.

Another new film is Bob’s Birthday by David Fine and Alison Snowden. This short animation is an amusing look at modern, middle-class life and how the best laid plans can go horribly wrong. It is dentist Bob’s 40th birthday and his wife has organised a surprise party. Unfortunately, the depressed Bob loses his pants as soon as he comes in the door and continues to say the wrong things while his party-guests are hiding and waiting to shout ‘surprise’.

It also won an Oscar in 1995.

The God is from Russian Konstantin Bronzit, who was nominated for an Academy Award in 2009. In 2004 he created this brilliant film in which a statue of Shiva is irritated by a  fly and comes to life in order to rid himself of it. In his increasingly frustrated attempts, Shiva causes himself more and more problems… enjoy!
