Typically, no one save Academy members sees the animated shorts that get their (truncated) fifteen minutes during the Oscars. Such has been the fate of many of the genre's finest examples. Enter the sleuthing cinephiles at Oddball Film + Video, presenting a night devoted to the tiny jewels of the animated screen. Making room for both lauded landmarks and rarely seen obscurities, tonight's program includes the Carl Reiner-voiced, Academy Award-nominated '59 short The Violinist; an early Technicolor Kleenex/Disney collaborative PSA on How to Catch a Cold; a slice of Polish stop-motion animation about a burlap sap with an insatiable appetite; a fly's eye view of the world from Hungary; and many more.
