Variety shares Spanish animator Carlos Baena‘s absolutely stunning award-winning animated short “Ferris Wheel” (“La Noria”), released through his NightWheel Pictures label.
“La Noria is the story of a grieving young boy terrorized by monsters who rip apart his toys, steal his photos and chase him through his home; to what end is uncertain.”
The animation is Disney-good and there’s a reason for that – Baena has worked on every franchise from Toy Story to Star Wars and Jurassic Park.
The site notes, “At October’s 3D Wire animation market and networking event, La Noria won the Audience Award for best Spanish animated short. In lieu of dialogue, the short leans heavily on its lullaby score, which also scooped several honors at festivals including Badajoz Short Film Festival and Nola Horror Film Fest.”
