Cubes - so glad to have seen it. Thankyou. It feels very similar to the masterful Dudok films. I have to admit I am a complete sucker for this kind of work.

Very interesting article, thank you! When I’ll be not happy about my artworks or projects, I’ll remember that even Oscar-winning animators have their doubts about their work. I happy to know thou that he found his way after the Oscar story. Hope he is happy now with what he is doing.

I remember watching House of Small Cubes months ago when it was in my YouTube feed. I didn't know it was the only anime short film that won an Oscar however, so I'm delighted to learn more about it.

So glad to see more Japanese animation here! I was surprised when I first watched this one that it was Japanese since it’s so European styled (and that being a factor in winning the Oscar’s might be a topic for another email) so it was glad to know more about the story behind the short. If you haven’t done it yet, I’d love to see more newsletters on Oscar’s shorts (winners and not) starting with Boy and the World from Brazil.
