So the 85th Academy Awards just wrapped up and you’re upset that your favorite film or actor or director didn’t win. Relax, I have something we can all agree on — Disney’s Paperman deserved that Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.

Okay, so maybe not everyone will agree that it was the best among the other contenders, but I think it can be universally praised for its astounding use of traditional hand-drawn animation and CG. It also has a charming little story wrapped around it. If you haven’t seen it yet, get to it!

    At least in the still image above, the main character looks as if he is related to Alfredo Linguini from the movie Ratatouille.
    Well, actually he is…
