Short Attention Span Theater

Now that markbourne is more awake and aware, I've been trying to help keep him entertained. One of my immediate brainstorms, when e_bourne told me he didn't have the patience or endurance for long movies, was to send her links to short films, up to no more than 10 minutes or so. And what's happened is that I've found some awesome stuff. Some of it I've seen before--Oscar-nominated pieces, or stuff I've seen at animation festivals--but I decided it would be fun to share some of what I've found here. So here's a sampling of short entertainments for a Friday morning.

Octopodi (This was a particular favorite of mine when I first saw it and it's still completely entertaining.)

Rockfish (~9 minutes)

The Furniture includes a mantra we should all repeat daily.

The Last Knit (~7 minutes)

Validation (16 minutes)

Replay (8:45 minutes) French w/subtitles

Do Penguins Fly? (~2-3 minutes)

Duncan (~3 minutes)

And of course, Pixar's brilliant Presto (4.5 minutes)

Enjoy!
