This NFBC short was both an Oscar and Annie selection in 2012 and tells the story of a boy’s attempts to fend off boredom. The grandma’s candy dish resonated particularly with me.

This was a difficult short for me. It encapsulates the process of addiction, something I know far too much about.

An excellent video to re-start the Friday night music video tradition! Fun animation and image manipulation set to a snappy, classic, tune. This one’s going into the Shiny Things file.

Animated by Nina Paley and sung by the one and only Pointer Sisters.
