The 2019 Oscar shortlisted animated short films were recently announced and while there is loads of amazing work in the selection, we were amazed by Lost & Found directed by Andrew Goldsmith & Bradley Slabe.
Lost & Found tells the simple story of two stuffed animals in love. The story is told in a cute and playful way that is full of adventure and intrigue. What’s more, the craft at hand in this film is stunning and seemingly every nook and cranny of this animation was considered and cared for.
This film is a testament to the timeless quality of stop-motion animation. As technology advances at breakneck speeds, little can parallel the warmth and quality offered by this medium.
If you’d care to view the other Oscar shortlisted animated shorts, Cartoon Brew has an excellent writeup featuring the rest of the films.
