Currently in contention at Cannes for their animated short corner is this cute little four minute clip of a robot whose curiosity just may end up getting the best of him. Pixar animators watch your back (or take notice); Reach says so much in so little time with absolutely no dialogue.

Creator Luke Randall put this together over the period of about eight months and has apparently already been doing very well in the festival circuit. This is certainly one of the finer animated shorts I’ve seen in a while (ya know, because I see so many). In a word, wonderful.

See it in high quality over at YouTube (recommended); otherwise, I’ve embedded the short underneath the seats here in the third row. I highly encourage you to check it out.
