Alma

Check out this creepy animated short film from Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas. He completed the film while on break in his home country of Spain. The art direction is by his brother Alfonso, and his wife Cecile produced.



The short's official web site is here.

  1. I saw this one a few days ago. It's beautiful. Kind of a creepy toy story. The music sounded a little happy for the story, but I guess it helped to take the edge off of it.

  3. This reminds me of a "Twilight Zone" installment. I wonder if the director was inspired by the said shorts?

    Beautiful animation. Mr. Blaas and his team did a magnificent job.

  4. I just saw a short film with my sister and we love. Though the story is somewhat sad, but the idea is very creative and poetic! And the design is very beautiful!
    Congratulations to the whole team!

  8. I have the pleasure of working with Alfonso Blaas and some of the animators of "Alma" and I've been following it from almost the beginnig. It's simply awesome, with an awesome design. I wish all the best for them, even though we are competitors :P.
