- Synopsis:
Largely unseen by the public at Oscar-time, 2006's Academy Award-nominated short subjects are given their due in this collection of these remarkable live action and animated films. Included are the Oscar winners 'West Bank Story', a musical comedy set among the West Bank's highly competitive falafel stands, and the animated 'The Danish Poet', which follows a dispirited poet's journey to Norway to meet legendary writer Sigrid Undset. It also features the nominees 'Binta and the Great Idea', 'Eramos Pocos (One Too Many), 'Helmer and Son', 'The Saviour', 'Lifted', 'The Little Matchgirl', 'Maestro', and 'No Time for Nuts'. Rounding out this release are five bonus animated shorts, including Bill Plympton's hilarious 'Guide Dog', the story of a canine's new job aiding the blind, and its disastrous results. - Actors:
