The best of the 2009 Oscar nominated animated shorts is a computer animated effort from the British team Smith & Foulkes. Two mortuary employees go to great lengths to transport a body after their hearse is destroyed. It's darkly comic and visually playful, and a natural for fans of the Tim Burton school of animation. (9 minutes, UK)
