| Broken Down Film (1985) by Tezuka Osamu. |
This list of 100 important directors of animated short films was assembled in late 2008 to serve as a complement to “Brief Encounters,” a proposed list of 250 great short films (both animated and live-action) which was to be developed by the folks at the They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? (TSPDT) website. Unfortunately, that 250-film list was never published. Temporarily left without a home, the list was eventually adopted and first published at Kevin Lee’s Shooting Down Pictures blog in August 2009.
The “100 Important Directors
of Animated Short Films” list is not intended to be comprehensive. These are simply 100 directors whom we felt were important and deserving of increased recognition by film lovers. For each director, we selected three “highly
recommended” movies. In addition, we
included a category of “TSPDT 250 Greatest Shorts” to highlight any of these
directors’ films which were tentatively slated to place on the abandoned Brief Encounters list.
As it exists now, this list
is a snapshot of the opinions of a small number of film enthusiasts at a moment
in 2008. It can’t claim to be much more
than that. However, it was fun to
assemble and the goal of bringing these names to wider public attention remains
important. I’ve recently floated the idea of
revising the list through an exercise on the IMDb Classic Film message board
sometime next summer (2012).
This project was facilitated
by Lee Price (lee-109) on the IMDb Classic Film message board. Project team:
Lee Price, Robert Reynolds (Illtdesq), Jorge Didaco (jdidaco), Bill
Kamberger (bkamberger), and Rob Tomshany (RobT-2), with additional input from
animation fans on the IMDb Classic Film message board.
Starting tomorrow... 15 essays in 15 days on Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century (1953).
