It would be EXCELLENT MST3K material, although I would strongly encourage you to put "Strange Magic" ahead of it in that queue. ANYHOW, what I came here for was that one of the Best Animated Short contenders - We Can't Live Without Cosmos - is online. Go here. (Soon would probably be good.): <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/watch-oscar-nominated-cant-live-without-cosmos-premieres-online-135914.html">http://www.cartoonbrew.com/awa...914.html</a>

Prologue (the Richard Williams one), is stunningly hand-animated self-indulgent crap, as you'd expect from the guy behind "The Thief and the Cobbler". Here's the Academy's page introducing the shorts: <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://oscar.go.com/tag/best-short-film-animated-nominee-2016-oscars">http://oscar.go.com/tag/best-s...6-oscars</a>
