Last night saw 2 collections of 2023 Oscar shorts, Live Action and Animated. It seems like The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a leading candidate in the Animated Shorts category, and obviously it's the costliest, slickest production of all the shorts I saw, but it's so TERRIBLE ! IndieWire summed it best:
Using glowing yellows and calming blues over snowy white plains, the film doles out a litany of platitudes aimed at children.
The problem is the plot and dialog consists of nothing but these platitudes, not a single conversation or even short exchange that is even somewhat believable, absurd, or carries any range of emotion. Cringe-worthy! and so long... even the credit section ran excruciatingly long.
My vote would go to The Ice Merchants; to quote IndieWire again, "visually striking film, hauntingly beautiful “ . But the others were good too, except for this monstrosity, which I'm afraid will win.
