Aaaaaah... "The Old Mill". I absolutely adore this short.No matter how many times I watched it, it STILL gets me every time. Sometimes it's the opening, sometimes one part of the storm scene, or another... But always something "hits" me, don't ask me why, I don't know.Simply put: a masterpiece.5 stars & faved for sure!BTW, did you know that a rather recent Simpsons episode ("Bart Has 2 Mommies") contains some clear references to this short?

this short is absolutely an great animation masterpiece. It's a pitty that present-day cartoons aren't like the good old cartoons

WOW! That was an intense, powerful piece of art. I can see how it won an Academy Award. I love how the owl is illuminated for an instant by the flash of lightning.

we had to watch this in english for like 4 days and it got really annoying after about the 3rd time but anyway 4/5

Yeah CG has some merit. Disneys pixars coming out with some realistic work. I like anime cartoons, but their movements arent as fluid as the old American cartoons were like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck etc. It's so amazing, you can almost read their lips in those old cartoons!!! Yeah that stuff isn't apreciated. My generation got shafted!! The old generation had it made as far as that stuff goes.

Its literally a work of art...I wish there was an animation museum in NY where you could see this stuff all day.

Good Lord, you couldnt be righter.But CGI has its merits...its the international obsession with anime that puzzles me.Toon Disney is now almost all cheap crappo Nick style toons, its so disappointing. But the good stuff just isnt appreciated!!!!
