Get Your 'Toon On with These Oscar Noms

French Roast
Cartoon Brew has thoughtfully gathered links from around the Web for some of the Oscar-nominated animated shorts. Over at its official website, you can check out French Roast, a funny Gallic short about a fellow at a café with a financial and moral dilemma. Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty is a cool little mixed media short about a morbid, slightly batty grandmother who has a rather unique version of "Sleeping Beauty" to share with her terrified grandchild. (Granny also has a special Oscar message to share.) The Lady and the Reaper is a humorous take on the grim reaper and an old lady caught in a tug-of-war between life and death—literally. Logorama, which is about a logo-laden land where Ronald McDonald is on the run from Michelin Men police, is available for viewing on its official website. Take a look and let us know who you think should take home an Oscar for their efforts!
Unfortunately, it looks like Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death is no longer online, but you can get more info on the official website.

They seem to be on the official sites themselves, as far as I can tell, but naturally, if someone contacts us, we'll remove them.

The Lady and the Reaper
My fav one was the LADY AND REAPER. Quality is great and the story is funny in a really dark way, I think this one should win!
