Best Animated Shorts of the Year

By the time you read this, they may have already announced the 5 animated short films nominated for the Oscar.  Nevertheless, I'll give you my 5 top shorts of the year:

"Subconscious Password", by the great Chris Landreth - hilarious.

"Feral", a beautiful story about a boy raised by wolves, by Daniel Sousa.

"Hollow Land", by Uri Kranot and Michelle Kranot.  Stop-motion animation about immigrants.

"Mr Hublot", by Laurent Witz and Alexandre Espigares - a beautifully animated CG film with great character design.

"Betty's Blues" by Rémi Vandenitte - a gorgeous Delta Blues musical.
