Watch the Entire Paperman Animated Short Film Right Here

By ( ) Comments

If you weren’t already aware, both Wreck-It Ralph and the animated short film that preceded it, Paperman, are amazing. That’s assuming you’re a human being that has emotions and not some kind of shell that’s built to withstand even the strongest of feelings. Paperman‘s even been nominated for an Oscar in the Best Animated Short Film category. Unfortunately for everyone everywhere, there’s been no good way to actually see the short after Ralph left theaters. Well, until now.

If you haven’t already seen it, we won’t spoil the plot for you, but we’re pretty confident that it’s safe to say the whole thing’s just adorable. From the animation style to the lack of actual dialogue, it’s just about perfect. Seriously. See for yourself:

See? Told you.

    Which is better, the nominated Simpsons short or Paperman?

    The young lady is shown with one of those impossibly thin waists relative to the rest of her body that people have been complaining about Barbie(tm) dolls for years. And are there ANY OFFICE windows in NYC that open any more?

    I think the man’s boss is disappoint.

    That’s what you took out of watching this, seriously?

    That was a cute video, very nice and light hearted.

    Those two points were SOME of my observations about the flick. I didn’t like it very much as a whole. Give me “Wallace and Gromit” every time.

    I’m back for one more insight: I’ve just read that one of the football teams playing in this weekend’s “Timewaster Bowl” is benching a fit, trim cheerleader with a perfectly acceptable body because SHE’s NOT SKINNY ENOUGH.

  • Idlethoughts

    Animation is know for having characters with unrealistic, caricature-like proportions. Skinniness, hight, shortness, wideness, facial features, ect. are frequently displayed in degrees which would be freakish in real life, one needs only google “untoon” to fully realize this. So please, if your going to dislike a video for stupid reasons, don’t do it in a way which, by association, undermines legitimate criticisms of misogynistic portrayals in media.

    I’m fully aware of that after many hours of my yute watching cartoons on TV and in theaters. There was a time when Africans in animated cartoons were portrayed the way one sees them in Tea Party banners, with oversize lips, bones in their noses, etc. Very few animators would do that today. In recent years, the depiction of young girls with unrealizeable bodily proportions has been identified as a factor in girls’ eating disorders. Maybe not in the USA with such a large cohort of dysfunctional males, but in Europe, they’re clamping down on super-skinny models. This has also become a problem in ballet.

    You’re a psycho. Stop while you are ahead. This is meant to be
    lighthearted, not be analyzed by someone with a stick up their backside.
    One more thing: I’ve NEVER seen a “Tea Party banner” that portrayed a
    person of color with “oversized lips, bones in their noses, etc”. You
    must mean the Nazi Party from 1942. Racist.
