    I've only seen Partly Cloudy...anyone else seen any others?

    Thanks for the hook-up Sebastian!

    I found Partly Cloudy to be the best, maybe because I'm biased towards Pixar.

    The other ones I really liked were French Roast, The Cat Piano, and The Kinematograph (in that order).

    But they were all of high quality, so i could see any of the ten getting a nomination. I would place Runaway and Logorama as the two least likely to get nominated.
