These days everyone seems to be a film-maker. The Sophomore Jinx - I left my heart in Vermont. The Black Hole - short film by Philip Sansom and Olly Williams - Spider - short film by Nash Edgerton. Vincent - short film by Tim Burton. Young Vincent Malloy dreams of being just like Vincent Price and loses himself in macabre daydreams which annoys his mother. The art of the short film is one that is all too often overlooked by larger production companies. Which is just downright silly, really – OK, chances are they will provide less huge financial returns, but companies can afford to lose the odd dollar here and there, especially when films like “Vincent” are at stake. Funded by the Walt Disney Company whilst they were nurturing a budding young animator called Tim Burton, “Vincent” is a lovely little exposé on the secret thoughts that lurk in the back of most little children’s brains.

Lawks – I know they lurked in the back of mine. Based on a poem that Burton composed himself, Vincent tells the story of a little boy who wants to grow up to be just like Vincent Price, the popular horror actor, and Burton’s childhood idol.

A platform floats in a neutral space. Strange men, identical except for the numbers on their back, appearing as though out of some dystopian future, must work in concert to prevent the platform from tipping.

The emergence of a strange box, a new development in this closed and sterile space, disrupts the tedium but also the teamwork, as each man wants to individually inspect and enjoy the box—threatening them all as the platform becomes increasingly unbalanced. Directed by German brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein, Balance is a remarkable piece of animation that has held up very well through the years. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1989 , it has been featured in a few animation collections on video, including the now sadly out of print, “The World’s Greatest Animation”, where it headlined alongside another famous film we reviewed on this site, Nick Park’s Creature Comforts.
