So #OSCARRace2025 #Predictions #AnimatedShorts So this was a good bunch of shorts, #MagicCandies & #InTheShadowOfTheCypress are both interesting & hint at buried feelings & dealing w/past events, good but the story is pretty straightforward, #BeautifulMen is a surprising story that seems

With the Oscars three days away, here's my reviews and predictions for the Best Animated Short Film category:
