This short won the Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead:
This short is the whole package. It looks absolutely beautiful, the story is sweet, charming and fascinating and everything comes together marvelously at the end.
The decision to do this principally in black and white was perfect and totally works to create the appropriate mood and atmosphere. The character designs and movement are excellent and the pacing and story structure are executed effectively.
I thought it was interesting how the two principle characters reacted to events, particularly during the last part of the short. The two characters the story revolves are believably attracted to one another and their reactions to each other and events ring true.
This short was released as an extra on the Brave DVD. The short is excellent and bears repeated viewing. Most highly recommended.
