PAPERMAN PAPERMAN PAPERMAN!

I'm embedding a small version because it looks nice, but the film is best watched full screen with the lights off and the sound up! Click the little gear thing at the bottom of the player, switch it to 1080p, go full-screen, sit back, and enjoy.

Want to know why this time last year my blog was nothing but radio links and OHYATs? THIS IS WHY.

You're welcome.

Wow I am so in awe that you made this or a part of this. My favourite part is the little "nghnghh" movement he makes when that one plane goes in the window and into the bin! Priceless.

For some reason I thought you hadn't been involved with this! This despite the fact that the character work looks EXACTLY LIKE YOUR STUFF, to the point where I was like, "how nice to see that Tealin's style has spread throughout Disney even when she's not directly working on a project."

Anyway, Paperman made me cry, so whatever your involvement with it was, thank you!

I think it's more a case of convergent evolution, and similar inspiration – the characters were designed in large part by Shiyoon Kim and looked like that when I got them!

Glad it was so moving ... :) That's what kept us going through the hard slog ...

I watched this video when you posted it, and never commented to say how awesome it was I guess >.<

I just wanted to drop a note saying that I took my kid to see Wreck-It Ralph/Sugar Rush here in Japan, and the theater showed Paperman as a short feature before the film. It looks absolutely gorgeous on the big screen (and also, I'm not sure if consciously or not, all the characters look Japanese - people likely connect the idea of Paperman to Salaryman as well.) This is such an amazing piece of work!

Thank you so much for this! We almost never hear anything from audiences overseas, only get the box office figures, so this is a really cool little insight. I'm so glad you got to see it in the theatre, it is really a theatre short.
