Calling all fans of short animated films! I thought it might be fun to start a thread in which we can recommend our favourite films of this genre. I know edgecrusher has already started an anime thread, so this can be the non-anime thread!
My first recommendation is Ken Lidster's "Balloon", which won the 1991 Short Animated Film BAFTA. The characters never speak, and there's no narration - the whole story is told visually with the aid of music. Surreal and beautifully animated.
Watch it on YouTube (split into two parts):

I've embedded the videos here for your convenience, but I recommend watching them on YouTube so that you can fullscreen them:
Or watch it on Dailymotion in one part (but with much lower quality):
Enjoy!
