Oktapodi

I just found out into this video in one of the newspapers I normally read. Two octopuses fight for their lives with a stubborn restaurant cook in a comical escape through the streets of a small Greek village, which reminded me of Santorini.

 

 It turns out that Oktapodi (2007) had won a number of awards as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short Film in 2009. A whole achievement, considering it started off as Graduate Student Project from Gobelins L'Ecole de L'Image. It was directed by Julien Bocabeille, François-Xavier Chanioux, Olivier Delabarre, Thierry Marchand, Quentin Marmier, and Emud Mokhberi; the music was composed by Kenny Wood.

Aren’t them adorable? Or, how they would say in German, so suuuuuuuuuuuuuss.
