I saw "Ward 13" a couple of nights ago. It's an interesting film; part comedy, part horror, part...I don't know. Very well done.

Ward 13- StopMotion by Peter Cornwell


I believe I saw Ward 13 when I went to Germany last year. That is some of the best claymation I've ever seen. :D

Noticed in the list above that "It's The Cat" doesn't have a director listed. That person is Mark Kausler.

Saw that and "Guard Dog" a while back. Both are very good. Dog is probably one of Plympton's funniest, and Cat has a great retro 30's/40s feel.

Btw this is the shortlist for the nominations. The actual nominees won't be anounced till end of Januari.

I saw "Guard Dog" in its debut. Definitely one of Plympton's better shorts. An actual narrative from mister visual pun.

Thanks Dave for the list.
