I love animated short films — don’t you? Pixar, National Film Board of Canada, and Aardman Animations are a few of my favourite animation production companies. Short films such as Presto, Piper and La Luna from Pixar; The Cat Came Back, George and Rosemary, and the Danish Poet from the NFB; and Wallace & Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep, from Aardman Animations are among the animated films I love best.
Today, I found some hilarious, amusing and sweet animated films on YouTube that had me grinning from ear to ear. Watch three of them below — Enjoy!
