I just love it when people are whining about how this beat out Mickey’s Christmas Carol because they think Disney has to win the Oscar for everything because they’re Disney. Other animations should be recognized too. In this case, stop motion/claymation is a lot of hard work, and as twisted as this short is, maybe the Oscar committee saw something in this that they felt deserved the win. But no. To everyone else, it should’ve been Mickey’s Christmas Carol just because dammit. Guess what? Disney doesn’t deserve every Oscar because you think they’re superior in animation.
Years will pass quickly without us noticing it Life is second and second and second will become years and years and years Nothing lasts forever, not even pain and sorrow Events change in the blink of an eye (in the blink of an eye) Every day everything changes in the blink of an eye Every day how many people die in the world
Mickey's Christmas Carol got beaten by that at the Oscars?! EGADS! That short looks terrible! I'm sorry, but Mickey's Christmas Carol is much better and should've won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film! This short doesn't look age well.
The guy who made this, Jimmy Picker, has been my next door neighbor for 3 years. I literally found out today from him that he had won an Academy Award, so I looked it up. He's an awesome and fun guy to this day.
@@mikelomez9313 He lives with his gorgeous wife in upstate NY and basically does whatever he wants lol. He paints, buts dresses on skeletons, normal stuff.
?? I met Scott record 1987 at the Harrah's Atlantic City I would like to see him in concert again with a wideband thank you? It is still great performer
never seen this before looked it up after reading that it was the inspiration for the claymation hamburger scene in the 1985 movie Better of Dead. loved Ed Koch even as a child. Really liked when he was on the people's court. even watched his funeral live here in New York
I saw this at an animation festival and never forgot it. It so epitomized Ed Koch as the picture-perfect, from-the-ground-up mayor who was deeply rooted in the working-class spirit of his city, with a bit of Woody Allen big apple infatuation thrown in. Thanks for posting. Rest in peace, Ed.
We saw John on the Norwegian Escape. He was hilarious and and all around good guy after getting to know him. I laughed so hard I cried during his skit where he pretty much described my childhood.
I love two of his quotes. While campaigning he said asking for votes, I can get a better job, but the city can't get a better mayor. And when he lost after several terms and his successor Dinkins was such a failure in answer to a question if he decide to run again, he replied, No the people in their wisdom rejected me, so now the people must suffer.
HOLY AWESOME! Dude I had this taped as an excerpt from a Claymation special about the statue of liberty, I really wish that I knew what it was called! It had the kid tha tplayed Paul from the wonder years! Great upload man!
Any time. I saw this as a kid on The Disney Channel. My favorite scene is where a guy has a boom box playing "Stop... Check The Brakes" and you hear cars piling up.
