Small Miracles

There has been a lot of talk bouncing around the blogs about short films. These are my two favourites, both made by the phenomenally talented Dutch animator Michael Dudok de Wit.


The Monk and the Fish received Academy Award and BAFTA Award Best Short Animated Film nominations in 1995 and won the Cartoon d’Or and César for Best Short Film Animation.


Father and Daughter won both the Academy Award and BAFTA for Best Short Animated Film, three British Animation Awards, the Audience Award and Grand Prix at the 2001 Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and the Cartoon d’Or, amongst the thirty-odd prizes it accrued.

If you ever get the opportunity to watch them, do. And enjoy.
