The 1990 Oscars--and yet another vapid entry for Best Animated Short!

I love short films and especially short animation. I have recently watched dozens of winners and nominees for the Oscar for Best Animated Short and was shocked when I looked at 1990's nominees. They were absolutely horrid compared to the years before or sense and I seriously doubt if THE HILL FARM would have been nominated any other recent year--it was just so ordinary. Judging by the fact that BALANCE was the winner in 1990, it was a very, very bad year.

THE HILL FARM has decent animation, but its style isn't compelling enough to merit a lot of attention. Additionally, the cartoon itself just isn't all that special one way or another.

Do yourself a favor--watch more short animation films--just NOT those from 1989--or at least not those nominated.

By the way, KNICK KNACK from Pixar also came out in 1989--so where is this great film among all the nominees?!
