Three Animated Short Films That Will Inspire You And Make You Cry

At the Kent Film Festival, there was a short film, “Sebastian’s Voodoo,” which really moved me, so I wanted to share it with you here.

Watching this film also helped me to remember two other animated pieces that moved me in the past–”Doll Face” and “Kiwi.” Please take a few minutes to watch them below. They’re worth it!

To me these three shorts are more than just animated films. They are silent commentaries on humanity. From compassion to desire to self-sacrifice, there is a lesson to be learned from each, and what you take away from these films really depends on who you see when you look in the mirror. And I suppose that’s what makes them great films–that no matter who you are, you realize something about yourself when you watch them.

Did they show “Kiwi” at Kent this weekend? It has been out for a couple of years…I love it.

Kiwi did not show at Kent Film Festival but it is my choice out of the 3 too, then Sebastian’s Voodoo and finally Doll Face.

What about the global warming one with the penguins? That was pretty moving.
