I went through a whole box of tissues watching these animated shorts, and I hope you did too. But not all the animated shorts I've watched and loved have made me cry. Don't Feed The Freaks is a good example of this, an apocalyptic short that made me really think about how similar we are now to the dystopian future it portrays.
Watching animated shorts reminded me how much I adored things like Pixar as a kid. I need to watch more animated films now. I still haven't seen Disney's The Princess and the Frog, so now may be the perfect time.
