In preparation for the Oscars we checked out the animated shorts that were nominated this year, playing at the nearby Landmark Theatre. These included shorts from France, Russia, Canada, and the United States. Our favorite was Peter and the Wolf, claymation and interesting story line to accompany music written by Prokofiev in the 30's. Each of characters is associated with a different instrument. There have been many recordings of it, and at least one animated version, but this one certainly lived up to that long legacy. We'll see whether the academy agrees tonight (or not).
