ANNA & BELLA
Directed by Borge Ring
“Anna & Bella” is a fun animated short film that won the Oscar for Best Animated Short in 1986. It tells the story of two sisters who are looking back on their lives through a series of photographs. They remember the bad times along with the good, but no matter what the memory is, sharing the experience has made the bond between these sisters stronger.
If nostalgia is your thing then you won't be disappointed with “Anna & Bella”. Personally, it reminded me of when I was very young and would help my grandfather call his sister on the telephone. They would remember old stories with laughter and sighs. I hope that someday I can have the same relationship with my sister. Forgive the cliché, but blood really is thicker than water, and “Anna & Bella” reminds us of that.
This film was made in The Netherlands, but the style of animation is very similar to Disney of the period or the films that Don Bluth was making. It had a rough-drawn look and a minimalist color scheme that gave the film great charm.
“Anna & Bella” won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. The other nominees were “The Big Snit” and “Second Class Mail”. “Anna & Bella” is available for viewing on youtube.
