    Maggie Simpson in "The Force Awakens from Its Nap"

    ★★★

    Super slight but still a sweet way to start my Star Wars Day 🥳

  • Burrow

    Burrow

    ★★★★

    Adorable animation, a sweet score, and a moving message to boot - what’s not to love?

  • Far from the Tree

    Far from the Tree

    ★★★★

    This was a nice pre-game for my tear ducts before Encanto. 🥲

  • Us Again

    Us Again

    ★★★★

    OKAY BUT BEST ORIGINAL SCORE NOMINATION WHEN???

  • Cops and Robbers

    Cops and Robbers

    ★★★★

    In one word, outstanding. Tells a more complete and commoving story in four minutes than most films do in 2+ hours. Between this and If Anything Happens I Love You, Netflix has basically got that Best Animated Short Film Oscar on lock.

  • 22 vs. Earth

    22 vs. Earth

    ★★★½

    I wasn’t the biggest fan of Soul (shocker, I know), but I... surprisingly found 22 vs. Earth to be absolutely adorable and amusing? It’s short for sure, but still quite sweet, and after this, I actually would be down for more antics in The Great Before.

  • Canvas

    Canvas

    ★★★

    Was worried this would be a case of style over story, but that emotional payoff packed quite a punch - Netflix is really killing it in the animated short department this year, huh??

    DOLL WORLD DOMINATION STARTS NOW

  • Battle at Big Rock

    Battle at Big Rock

    ★★★½

    When an 8-minute short film is better than your franchise’s last full-length feature 💀

  • The Long Goodbye

    The Long Goodbye

    ★★★

    It’s got a powerful message, but it feels a bit abrupt and incomplete. Hm. Still think it probably has the best shot to win the Oscar given the star power and the social sentiment, but this could’ve (and should’ve) been a home run, and it feels like it never got past the first draft.

  • If Anything Happens I Love You

    If Anything Happens I Love You

    ★★★★

    Let’s pack up that Best Animated Short Film race right now, it’s over, it’s done, the rest of y’all can GO HOME

  • Lick the Star

    Lick the Star

    sofia has always had it 🥲🥲🥲

    fave part was when she brainwashed us into thinking “lick the star” spelled backwards was “kill the rats” when it just literally objectively is not in any way and i love that
