Boundin'

But before the end of the journey, he makes a horrific discovery about his travel companion that propels the film towards a bloodbath of a conclusion. 

Ausreisser (The Runaway)

This next short film comes to us in three parts because I couldn't find it all together on the internet and it's pretty long, but it's really good! So watch it!

Upon leaving his apartment, Walter is propositioned by a young lad - who, later, becomes known as Yuri - for a ride to school. Walter disregards the proposal, for the youth is unknown by him.

The Old Lady and the Pigeons

Number one, Sylvain Chomet is just as cool, if not cooler than Wallace and Gromit (sorry, Brian).
Anyways, The Old Lady and the Pigeons (in french, La Vieille Dame et les Pigeons) follows a scrawny gendarme (French police man, basically) in Paris on a search for a full stomach. While looking for food, the gendarme finds the woman responsible for feeding the area's pigeons so well they have become too fat to fly. Watching her supply the birds with cakes and food the man dreams of, he figures out a way to fool her into sharing with him.
The film has a phenomenal visual style that I could stare at all day, personally, and the music is wonderful, as well.
(My apologies for the lame quality)

Love, Patty.

A Matter of Loaf and Death

First of all, Wallace and Gromit are amazing! :-D

Cashback

Caution! This next short contains a lot of nudity. However, it is very good and I suggest you watch it. It isn't pornography, just artistic portrayals of the female body.
