Animated Short Oscar Nominees 3/5 - Wild Life

Hi there, I had a bit of a busy day so I'm going to keep it short for now, hopefully I'll find the time to elaborate soon.

This is the movie short "Wild Life". It tells the story of a dapper young remittance man, sent from England to Alberta to attempt ranching in 1909. However, his affection for badminton, bird watching and liquor leaves him little time for wrangling cattle. It soon becomes clear that nothing in his refined upbringing has prepared him for the harsh conditions of the New World. A film about the beauty of the prairie, the pangs of homesickness and the folly of living dangerously out of context.

And wow this is really well done! That storm was amazing and for a moment there I believed that magpie to be real. Enjoy!
