The First Magic of February


Ah, what perfect timing. Disney decided to release their John Kahrs-directed animated short film, Paperman, just in time for this month. The animation had its premiere as a feature shorts prior to the screening proper of the blockbuster hit Wreck-It-Ralph.

Paperman narrates the would-be love story of George and Meg told over an army of flying paper planes maneuvering through New York skylines circa 1940s. The six-minute film is for the hopeless romantic, the once non-believers, and those trapped in the predictability of their routine office lives. It takes us into a reminder, a perspective that at the perfect timing, one dictated by the Great Storyteller, our own versions of paper planes will eventually lead us into our very Meg or George. Such hope, I tell you.

The film is nominated for Best Animated Short Film at this year's Academy Awards.
