   It was all done by one person.   
      
   Animated shorts done by one person are very rare.   
      
   If you want to see 3 by a loan animator, as well as documentaries about the   
   author of those three, and a documentary about the documentary...   
      
   Get _Ryan_ from the National Film Board of Canada. Ryan won this year's   
   Oscar for animated short. It's overwhelmingly good. So are the rest of the   
   shorts on the dvd.
