Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
There are no handy publicity campaigns to introduce you to the five live-action shorts and five animated shorts nominated for Oscars, but I can help.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Gone are the days of "selected shorts" on movie bills, but thank the gods of cinema for this annual release of Oscar nominees.
-
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
They help dispel our often fatigued prejudices about that format as a haven for all things digital, 3-D, snarky and kid-marketed.
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
Its spirit is so easygoing that its visual complexity and emotional nuances may take awhile to register.

Tim Grierson, Village Voice
Writer-directors Andrew Ruhemann and Shaun Tan elevate a familiar storyline into something exceptionally moving that touches on friendship, loneliness, and the tragedy of how getting older numbs us to the wonders of the small oddities around us.
