45 Oscar Qualifying Animated Shorts on Cartoon Brew

As they do every year in the run up to the Oscars, the website Cartoon Brew has gathered together the names and links for all the eligible films submitted in the Best Animated Short Film category. This year, there are 45 eligible submissions.

A number of the nominees are Canadian, including four films of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). They are I Was the Child of Holocaust Survivors by Anne Marie Fleming, Dimanche / Sunday by Patrick Doyon, Romance by George Schwizgebel, and Wild Life by Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby.

The next stage in the process is to whittle it down to a short list of 10 before the final 5 nominations are named with all the others on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. The 84th Academy Awards takes place on Sunday, February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center.
