Best Animated Film 2024 Winner
Tennis, Oranges
A robotic vacuum suffering from burnout quits its job at a hospital and sets out to find community and a greater purpose on a quiet street where two lonely rabbits are stuck in perpetual loops. JURY STATEMENT: This short film was a delight. It has it all: a captivating and whimsical story, original lively animated characters, playful cinematography, good timing, beautiful sets and great sound design, not least a good balance between humor and seriousness. I loved the scene where the robot vacuum cleaner offers its services as a segboard, because of its superb animations and the crazy concept bringing these two very different beings together in this imaginative way.
