The 2009 movie "Logorama" is a perfect example for how a creative idea and execution can already be enough to achieve an Academy Award, one of the highest honors in the world of movies. This 16-minute movie managed to beat Nick Park's newest Wallace&Gromit adventure and 3 other pretty decent animated short films. I guess my personal choice would have been "Lady and the Reaper". But "Logorama" is very well-done too. Admittedly, there is nothing particularly new about the story, but this is all about the animation or I should probably be more specific and say it is about the way how they included hundreds (thousands?) of brands here. A truly creative effort and I applaud the filmmakers for this. These brands really make the story too as all the protagonists represent certain enterprises, mostly McDonald of course with Ronald McDonald playing a Joker-like villain here. Did this film set my world on fire (in a positive sense)? Probably not, but still I enjoyed it a lot and it is certainly one of the most unique animated short films of the new millennium. The three people behind this work are from France actually and made another popular short film based on a very famous video game afterward. I will check this one out soon too and wonder if we ever get a full feature animated movie from them. I certainly would be interested in watching it.
