AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

mihai_chindris Disney, Pixar and Marvel are the best at telling short stories. But love stories are best to be told by Disney. The guys from Disney know how to tell these kinds of "lullabies" and they're the best in the business. This one is heartmelting, showing the quest a man has to do in order to reach the soul of the woman that he loves. It's so good that you can almost transcend in the story.

marcgilfriends Within 7 minutes, I felt a sudden change of emotion that most hourly movies can't do to me. Without words and in adorable style it speaks of love, effort and destiny. This is such a simple yet wonderful piece of art. The story itself is simple and straightforward and it gives warmth to your heart and won't let go as you smile. Because the color, music and movement contains emotions that would really melt your heart. The story shows hopefulness, frustration, disappointment, excitement, and joy because of its ending. This is a really good short film, cheesy but a must watch film to share to your friends and families.

TheLittleSongbird Perfect to go with Wreck It Ralph, which was one of Disney's best films since the Renaissance, and a great contrast to it as well. The animation and music are especially good in Paperman. The music is subtly sparkling and nostalgically whimsical, it fits beautifully and matches the story and characters nuance for nuance. The animation is outstanding, it meshes black and white sketches and computer animation(with the only other colour an effective red) and the two styles blend really well. The black and white colours look wonderful with an atmospheric soft grain, even the magic at the end which didn't look fake at all. There's symbolism too and a lot of it but not in a way that's odd or out of place. The story is one that might not work for a few(like with the magic) but one that most people should have no problem with, it has a set-up that has been done numerous times but the way it's told is simply but not simplistically and with much emotion and heart. And all without the characters uttering a single word, which is testament to how vividly and the colourful the characterisations came to life. The characters are familiar and somewhat archetypal but are written with such nuance and colour that that becomes irrelevant. Paperman was genuinely touching and didn't ever feel manipulative, I admit I was teary-eyed when it finished because the story really connected with me and the animation was so beautifully done. Overall, beautiful and touching short that deserved its Oscar, not one to be recycled. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Robert Reynolds This short won the Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead: This short is the whole package. It looks absolutely beautiful, the story is sweet, charming and fascinating and everything comes together marvelously at the end.The decision to do this principally in black and white was perfect and totally works to create the appropriate mood and atmosphere. The character designs and movement are excellent and the pacing and story structure are executed effectively.I thought it was interesting how the two principle characters reacted to events, particularly during the last part of the short. The two characters the story revolves are believably attracted to one another and their reactions to each other and events ring true.This short was released as an extra on the Brave DVD. The short is excellent and bears repeated viewing. Most highly recommended.
