Academy Award Winning Animated Shorts (1932 - 2017)

All 85 Academy Award Winning Animations from 1932-2016 Technical Details: Seasons: NA Discs: 6 The culmination of 3 months work, researching exhaustively to create the first public archive of The Complete Academy Award Winning Shorts. And here it is. I did contact the Library of Congress, and the Archives, and they both only allow the 16mm film to be viewed on premises! Exhaustively searching every avenue known to man, we settled for 74 of 75 in the restrictions of time and money resources allocated the project. I hope you enjoy these efforts, knowing is the most complete and only public archive now being made available anywhere on the Internet, or the world. Another KG First if you will.

The little man bringing up the rear, carrying the matador's sword, is Ward Kimball, the lead animator on the scene. #8 : The only Silly Symphony cartoon to be remade. #9 : Was the first non-Disney cartoon to win an Oscar for Best Short Subject. #11 : The phrase "Heil Hitler" was spoken 33 and a half times, the half being interrupted by Donald realizing he was staring at the shadow of the miniature Statue of Liberty. #14 : Tom speaks, as does Spike, who says, "No more noise!" #15 : Similarities between the film and Rhapsody Rabbit (1946): Main character wears a formal tailcoat, sits at a piano, plays Liszt's "2nd Hungarian Rhapsody" and is bothered by a mouse. #16 : The first Warner Bros. cartoon to win the Academy Award. #17 : The is the first Tom and Jerry cartoon in which Nibbles destroys Tom for Jerry. #19 : The film was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1995. #20 : The is the first of the several Tom and Jerry cartoons in which Tom plays the cardinal's guard while Jerry and Nibbles play the king's musketeers. #21 : Included in Warner Home Video's 2007 "Literary Classics Double Feature" DVD containing The Prisoner of Zenda (1937) and The Prisoner of Zenda (1952). #22 : The was the first animated cartoon in CinemaScope. #24 : Although the is the second appearance of Speedy Gonzales (his first outing was in Cat-Tails for Two (1953)), he was re-designed after his debut and the is the first appearance of Speedy as we know him today. #27 : The only Bugs Bunny cartoon to ever win an Academy Award. #32 : Narrated by Mel Brooks. #33 : The short marks the only time a studio has won an Oscar with its first cartoon release. #34: To give the squiggle an unkempt appearance, the animation drawings were inked on rice paper. The ink bled, creating a textured line that was then Xeroxed onto cel. #37 : The film was released in theaters along with The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit (1968). #39 : Narrated by Orson Welles. #41 : The only film version of "A Christmas Carol" to win an Oscar. #42 : There is only one edit in the entire film, which was shot in sequence with no retakes. #43 : The short was included in the theatrical release of the compilation feature "Fantastic Animation Festival" (1977). #44 : The live-action railway footage used as the basis for one segment was used a few years later in unmodified form for a television ad in the US. #57 : In the wide shot of the room, a hanging framed picture of Luxo Jr. is briefly visible, and the shopping bag the toy came in (visible at the very beginning, and played with by the baby at the very end) has a square insigna on one corner. The is Pixar's original logo. #59 : The film's soundtrack is a mixture of actual interviews with shut-ins and zoo attendees, and semi-acting. The leopard was a Brazilian friend of director Nick Park's who hated England. Park told him to pretend he was a leopard in the zoo for the interview. #61 : All of the animations were done using clay. #62 : In one scene, Gromit is reading "The Republic" by Pluto (the actual author is Plato. Pluto is Mickey Mouse's dog). #64 : In a radio interview, director Nick Park said that Wallace's references to Wensleydale cheese in the film unintentionally saved a small British cheese-maker from bankruptcy. Interest in the cheese was sparked by the film, and one of the few makers of Wensleydale suddenly found itself with numerous requests for it, thereby saving it from financial ruin. #66 : The wooden cigar box containing the chess pieces is marked "Pt. Richmond Hand Made Pixar Shorts". The Pixar Animation Studios are located at Point Richmond, California. #68 : Each frame was made using slow-drying oil paints upon a back-lit glass "canvass." With his fingers, Director Aleksandr Petrov manipulated the oils between frames and photographed the results, then gently molding the oils for the next frame to repeat the process. #71 : Contains many references to sci-fi movies: * Gort the robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) can be seen holding an oil can. * One of the aliens has a Princess Leia "cinnamon buns" hairdo. * An alien from Alien (1979) is drinking at the bar. * Darth Vader is arm-wrestling Yoda. * The two dancing robots are Robbie from Forbidden Planet (1956) and the Robot from "Lost in Space" (1965). * The alien who warns Meeper about the Chubbchubbs is Jar Jar Binks. * One of the escaping spaceships is a Martian War Machine from War of the Worlds (1953). * An escaping alien is riding a bicycle with E.T. in the basket. John Williams "E.T." score is also referenced. #73 : The Pinhead clown from 'Chris Landreth' 's _Bingo (1998/II)_ makes a cameo appearance near the end of the film. #74 : Quite possibly my favorite of the entire collection: Voices by John Turturro ... The Son (voice), and Eli Wallach... The Father (voice) #85 : One of the most adorable, detailed and inspired little stories... I could watch the one over and over and over and over and over...
