Oscar Nominees: Best Animated Short

The nominees:
EVEN PIGEONS GO TO HEAVEN (B+)
The most universally likeable of the bunch. The story of a priest trying to sell a machine that takes the user directly to heaven.
I MET THE WALRUS (A-)
A humorous and thought-provoking montage of images set to a tape-recorded conversation with John Lennon.
MADAME TUTLI-PUTLI (C+)
What starts out as a funny and offbeat comedy turns into a dark and dreary incomprehensible mess of a train ride
MY LOVE (C)
This swirling adventure looks like an impressionist painting and is certainly impressive on an artistic level but tells a dull, convoluted love story.
PETER & THE WOLF (B)
A young boy tries to outsmart a wolf in this entertaining but somewhat distracted and overlong tale.

Who should win: I loved “I Met the Walrus” but would be just as happy with “Even Pigeons Go To Heaven”
Who will win: My bet is I Met the Walrus.
