About This blog.

The main goal of this blog is the get an overview of all Academy Award winners of animated shorts and the nominated ones. I also try to show animation from my home country, the Netherlands. If I find other animation I like I will also post that here.

Give Up Yer Aul Sins

Based on the original recordings taken by Peig Cunningham in Dublin schoolrooms from the 1960's, (subsequently re-discovered and released by EMI record) this film dramatises the event as a TV crew arrive to record the children and we are treated to the story of John the Baptist told as only children can. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short at the 2001 Oscars.
