Nine Nation Animation
**1/2
One of my favorite Oscar categories has always been Best Animated Short Film. I don’t get to see the nominees as often as I’d like to—even now that it’s gotten easier than ever to watch them thanks to the annual screenings organized by the good folks at Magnolia Pictures—but when I do, I’m always struck by the sheer range of narratives and artistic styles on display in these short productions that come from every corner of the globe.
