REVIEW:
Even the simplest of stories can have huge impacts on audiences. That was the case when the latest Disney short 'Paperman' was shown in front of my early screening of 'Wreck-It Ralph.' It basically tells the simple story of how a man is trying to get and win the affections of a woman whom he met at a train station. It would be easy to go further into detail, but that would spoil the true magic of this 7 minute treat. This short is able to tell a sweet and funny story without the use of any flashy colors or dialogue from anybody, just sounds from wind and cars and such. Plus, the idea to combine hand drawn animation and CGI animation was a fantastic idea since the short looks incredible. Overall, 'Paperman' is a nice treat to get when you go to see 'Wreck-It Ralph.' It's not as enchanting as some of Pixar's animated shorts, but this is still well deserving of some wreck-ognition among them. (that was a 'Wreck-It Ralph' pun if nobody got the joke)
How do you manage to find tickets for screenings? and if you like shorts you should check out shortoftheweek.com. I go there a lot and they have good ones.
