"Prologue" is a British 6-minute animated short film from last year that managed to get nominated at both the BAFTAs and Oscars this year without winning either. I must say the nomination was already a bit much. I guess they just wanted to pay tribute to Richard Williams this way, a man who has worked in the industry for many decades and already won 2 Oscars (2.5 actually) in the past. However, his film did nothing for me. I don't mind violence if it feels that it helps in telling a convincing story, but this was a fairly boring watch I must say. The animation style was so-so and looked a lot older than 21st century. I am a bit glad this film did not win and even if I was not rooting for "Bear Story", then this one was still a more deserving winner than "Prologue". I do not recommend the latter. Thumbs down.
