Need a quick hit of romance and Mad Men-style glamor to get you through the rest of your work day? Take six minutes and watch this Oscar-nominated short from Disney: Paperman.
A blend of hand-drawn animation and computer graphics, Paperman is set in a stylized mid-century Manhattan. It deals with the star-crossed love of two office workers, and how a pile of papers brings them together. Disney released the video on YouTube late Tuesday.
The short is drenched in nostalgia -- not least because of our increasingly paperless offices. (Throwing your laptop out of the window doesn't quite have the same airborne effect.) But the seamless hand-drawn and computer combo -- created by a group of just 12 artists and first-time director John Kahrs -- is something new in the world.
And if you feel like rushing out of the office and kissing a stranger on the street after watching it, we wouldn't blame you.
