    Anyone see it on RTE1 tonight? It was gas. I think it was nominated for an oscar?

    For anyone who didnt get to see it, it was a short cartoon on the recording of a young girl from the inner city flats about 40-50 years ago telling a bible story in her own words.

    It was one of them "you have to see" cartoons!
    It was funny, It was!!!!!!

    Perhaps I'm the only person, but I thought it was just so damn cute, it's partically a shoe-in for the Oscar though. It's funny but only in a "The things kids say" way. Besides I heard the tapes it's based on ages ago and the animation itself wasn't particullarly spectacular (Maybe that's because I was just back from Monsters Inc). seemed to be very like the old pink panther cartoons.

    i saw that film at a small concert in leixlip around 6 months ago. Go to www.brownbagfilms.com and you can read all about them.

    The other one, fifty percent grey is absolutely spectacular though. the animation is excellent, as is the concept. lovely little twist as well. I saw that at the start of a film in ster century last year, can't remember which one.

    They're both up against for the birds, the short at the start of monsters inc., very funny, but i'd still give my tip for fifty percent grey to walk away with it.
