Wreck-It Ralph was another great entry into Disney's animated canon, but the greatest treat of all came before the movie even started. That was when John Kahrs' brilliant, lovely short film Paperman played to audiences, and it was so beloved that it's been nominated for the Best Animated Short Film Academy Award.
The short films are always tough to catch up with, so Disney has done everyone a solid by releasing Paperman in full for all to enjoy. Combining hand-drawn and computer animation, the sweet tale of love and fate follows a lonely young businessman in mid-century New York City, who meets the woman of his dreams on the way to work. Not expecting to ever see her again, he spots her in the building across the way, and uses a stack of papers in imaginative ways to get her attention. It's a wonderful film, worth watching over and over again. Check it out below.
