On the heels of the discovery that both Aardman Studio’s The Pearce Sisters<\/a> and the National Film Board’s Madame Tutli-Putli<\/a> have both been put on-line in their entirety, I started sporadically collecting together a selection of Oscar-winning animated shorts that have been put up on YouTube, beginning with Balance, a fantastic film I saw at a festival in the early nineties and have never been able to shake off. <\/p>\n
