Movie #1509 ........................."Negative Space"

Movie #1509 "Negative Space" was the final animated short in contention for the Oscar, and I really liked this one a lot -- not as much to it as "Lou," but I would have been happy if this won, too.  It's so short, but that's a positive quality  in this --- it's about a father/son relationship and how the one thing that tied the work-consumed dad with his son is the simple act of packing a suitcase --- the last line is super powerful and effective.  I give this a 4 out of 5.  Very cool animation.
