Nullarbor (2011)

Road rage with an elderly driver!

An animated road-movie set across the vast and barren landscape of Australia's Nullarbor Plain.

The Oscar choices for Best Animated Short left me and the audience at the theater confused and annoyed when we saw them this morning. Never before had I gone to a showing of the Oscar-nominated shorts (animated or live action) and heard people loudly grumbling about the poor quality of the selections until today. And, while I was not in love with Nullarbor, it was better than a few of the nominees.
