1) Mr Hublot - This charming animation tells the story of Mr Hublot who has OCD and must overcome his fear of going outside in order to save a dog from harm. The dog becomes Mr Hublots companion and saves him, in helping him face his fears. I really like the 3D animation used in this beautiful film!
2) The Monk and The Fish - This quite comical short animation works really well in terms of the music matching the movements of the Monk and the Fish. The Monk desperately tries to catch the Fish much to the dismay of the other Monks at the monastery.
3) The Red Turtle - This was a 2D animation, in which a man washes up on a desert Island. He makes several rafts but every time he tries to escape, a mysterious force destroys them. After a final raft attempt he realises that a huge Red Turtle is the cause of his rafts destruction and when it comes ashore he flips it over leaving it to roast in the hot sun. When the man finally comes to his senses, he returns to the Turtle and its shell cracks. Its body then disappears, but the shell remains and a woman about his age appears. The couple have a son together who grows up and leaves the island. Then, when the man dies of old age, the woman returns to the Turtle that she was and continues her life in the ocean.
Overall this film is about a man who finds true love in the strangest of ways and how once he is not alone on the island and he has a family, then he sees no need to leave it. It shows that all we need to be happy in our lives is our family and love.
