Paperman - New Disney short

**Nullifidian** · 01-30-2013, 05:52 PM

I had to share this with the rest of FFR. Disney finally released Paperman, a short that's been in the making for a while now. It uses a combination of techniques, both hand-drawn and computer-generated. The result is this lovely animation short:

Very few animations have made me smile like this one did. I had a big smile on my face the entire time. Really awesome animation, both story-wise and animation-wise.

Here's an interesting video showing the techniques used to create this short:

Smiled entire time. Teared up a bit.
Amazing stuff.

recycled ideas but cute, nice job disney

**Nullifidian** · 01-30-2013, 05:58 PM

paper airplanes are recyclable yeah

but on a serious note, what do you consider recycled?

Ohaider, I'm not sure if you're mistaking the style of animation for that cell shaded, auto-cartoonified renderings (borderlands type style). This is much different to have those dynamic traditional textures painted in to adhere to the artist's ideas. If that's what you mean.

I loved this short, was very impactful and moving, and the style was fantastic.

Wow... that was really beautiful.

**Sephiroth28** · 01-30-2013, 06:17 PM

Loved it. Was an amazing short.

**JohnRedWolf87** · 01-30-2013, 06:42 PM

Saw this when I went to see Wreck-It Ralph. I thought it was pretty amazing, as well.

**DragonIIDX** · 01-30-2013, 07:45 PM

I seen this when I saw Wreck-It Ralph. It's probably my favorite short that they made. I really enjoyed it but the people sitting behind me were the type of people who comment on EVERY little thing so that was kind of annoying... I wanted to say "JUST SHUT UP AND ENJOY THIS AMAZING SHORT!" but I didn't.

Disney should make a movie with this type of animation. It was really well done!

**samurai7694** · 01-30-2013, 07:47 PM

seen it in theaters three times along with Wreck-it Ralph. I honestly tear up every time lol, amazing short. and yes the animation's awesome

Oh okay lol. That's fair~ just didn't know what context you meant recycled by.

**Ohaider** · 01-30-2013, 09:51 PM

Yeah absolutely no problems with the animation itself haha, they were actually rather engaging

**Crazyjayde** · 01-30-2013, 10:06 PM

I've got a huge crave for the techniques used in this short film, it's reassuring to see Disney still being preoccupied by the original hand-drawn works that have made them so notable in the genre. Their story-telling sure has been quite remarkable recently too, I sure hope one of the future releases will be more subtle and intricate like this one seems to head onto. Props for the quality the Disney Animation department has been offering lately.

Charming film and concept for the most part. I'm not the kind to be moved with full-fledged build-ups though, but I sure think it wasn't too out of place.

This is the story of my life. But I dont get the girl at the end.
