Movie #406 ........................."The Lost Thing"

Movie #406 "The Lost Thing" is the third animated short nominated for an Oscar in 2011. Boy, this was soooooo good (DAve's favorite) about people being so busy that they don't pay attention to the small "things" any more. Well, he's at the train station and he sees this "thing" so he takes it home. It bothers his folks so he puts it out in the backyard, but he can't leave it there so he takes it to the department of odds and ends. However, a sweeper goes by him and says, if you don't want this "thing" scrapped" take it here......and hands him directions, which he follows and when he finally gets to the destination.............well, I don't want to tell you too much, esp. the ending, but the film certainly gets its theme across. It is very nostalgic, and the renderings are just perfect for that theme -- and so is the music. Everything is picture perfect here and I would give it 4.5 stars.
