The 2010 winner of Best Animated Short Film looks at a boy who befriends a thing that looks out of place. Everyone around him is too wrapped up in their personal affairs to even notice the thing. "The Lost Thing" shows a stark contrast between the boy's world and the place where the thing fits in. Basically, the boy's world is a reflection of our own: a concrete environment where people are too distracted by the latest whatever to notice what's right in front of them. I guess that as we age, we lose the ability to see the fun in everything. As the boy puts it "I haven't seen any more of those things. Or maybe I just haven't noticed." Really good cartoon.
