Paperman

Paperman (2012) is a Walt Disney Animation Studios short film you can watch online on iFILM. Director John Kahrs tells a wordless black-and-white love story set in 1950s New York — seven minutes from first glance to something that feels like fate. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 2013 Oscars.

A young office worker meets a girl on a train platform. Their papers collide. She disappears into the crowd before he can say a word. When he spots her through a window across the street, the only tools he has are a stack of office forms and a knack for paper airplanes. No dialogue, no colour, no shortcuts — just a quietly original mix of hand-drawn and CG animation. Stream Paperman (2012) online on iFILM.
