Oscar Nominated Shorts: Animation— Reviewed

April 13, 2021

(Note: This article was originally posted by Mick Cohen-Carroll on Medium in 2020. Check out the nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards here.)

The 92nd Academy Awards were an interesting bag of snubs and nominations, especially concerning diversity, but here’s a quick rundown of an area that's often overlooked: the animated short films.

This short normalizes Black hair and celebrates Black beauty. It shows a father tenderly helping his daughter style her hair and embracing her femininity. Director Matthew A. Cherry says, “We’re not used to seeing Black fathers depicted in this light. In the media, Black dads are often not present, or if they are, it’s some kind of negative connotation. This seemed like a good opportunity to tell a story about a Black family that has natural hair, and in the medium of animation.” The director has succeeded in showing a compassionate and affectionate father-daughter relationship, and the themes of self-acceptance, love, and beauty shine through.

The Rise of Skywalker, the Fall of Rey

It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
