Short Story Inspirations

some example animation shorts that i believe deliver fully developed stories with interesting scenarios. First two are taken from smashing magazines list of top 25 animated shorts. I've picked these in particular because they demonstrate nice twists to the end of the story. This unpredictability is a nice smack in the face for the audience and something i wish to emulate in the gnomes film.
