去年的短片集后，今年DFS系列继续来了一个短片集，包含了6部动画短片。这6部里我最喜欢的是没得到提名的作为bonus放映的“The Fan and the Flower”，讲一个电风扇和一盆小花之间的爱情，故事搞笑温馨动人，没有用太高深的动画技术，但平实的画风恰到好处。其他的片子，得奖的那部“The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation”算是导演对去世父亲的回忆录，我觉得导演有些太刻薄，对爸爸有些太记仇了。“Badgered”的配音特别突出。“9”的故事很诡异，其中一段好像小鬼当家，画面比较典型的现代3D动画片，很精致。“One Man Band”之前看Cars时就看到了，我觉得很有趣啊很有趣。“The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello”在画面上大概是最有个性的，我不知道该怎么描述，人物都是剪影，但其他的细节都很精细，不过故事有点臭长。这些似乎来自一个DVD，似乎还有一半是非动画的短片，希望有机会也能看一下。
