I know that this is a train I should have caught months and months ago, but at least I have caught up appropriately now!
Shaun Tan’s The Lost Thing. Go and watch it now; it has the cutest steampunk teapot/cthulhu you will ever see.
Also it won an Oscar last night! A surprising example of something good and original and lovely actually winning a major media award!
I just watched this short last night! I’m very glad that it won the Oscar as well. I really appreciate how its not too showy or flashing in its presentation, just a lovely short story.
