"Introducing a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges
computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time
director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction
with the Oscar®-nominated short, 'Paperman.' Using a minimalist
black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man
in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn
after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute.
Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second
chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from
his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to
get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in
store for him. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt
Disney Animation Studios, 'Paperman' pushes the animation medium in an
exciting new direction."

that was cute.. I'm such a sap, made me tear up..
That was gorgeous and simply beautiful: The black and white, the use of light and shadow. No words, but perfectly told. It definitely is worthy of an Oscar. Thanks so much for posting. I love creative, artistic work.
This was sealed with a kiss!
