Paperman

This gorgeous and tender love story manages to achieve in less than seven minutes what most Hollywood romantic comedies fail to do with big-star casting and clichéd plots. Beautifully capturing the themes of love at first sight, destiny and nature's intervention, 'Paperman' is a good-looking, heart-warming tale that's sheer perfection.

'PAPERMAN': Five Stars (Out of Five)

A Disney animated short film (that debuted in theaters before 'WRECK-IT RALPH') that tells the story of a New York office worker (sometime in the mid-20th century) who falls for a woman he just met, on his way to work, and is drawn to her through paper (paper airplanes to be more specific). It was directed by first time director John Kahrs (who's other film experience has been in the animation department for Disney animated features) and written by Clio Chiang and Kendelle Hoyer (the duo also worked on the script for Disney's 2011 'WINNIE THE POOH' animated feature). It's a black-and-white short and combines traditional hand-drawn animation with computer animation. I absolutely loved the film; it's about as good a short film as I've ever seen (live action or animated)! It's so emotionally moving and beautifully magical that I have to admit I got a little teary eyed. At 7 minutes it's hard to rate in comparison with feature length films, so to say this is one of the best movies I've seen all year might be an overstatement, but it's definitely one of the best shorts I've ever seen!

It's a short movie and I will keep this review as short as IMDb permits.

I saw this before Wreck-it Ralph, make sure to be on time so you don't miss it.

When you consider all the crap Disney delivers on television, it's a surprise to be completely swept away by this beautiful little b/w movie.

Not one single word is said, the stunning visuals and appropriate music do all the talking.

It reminded me of the beginning of Pixars "Up", without the bittersweet tone.

Too bad for the business model, people can fold the merchandise themselves for this one. But please Disney, take more risks like this.

This film starts from a paper flying to a man. With a wind causing by a train passing, one of the paper a woman is holding fly and hit him. After returning it, another paper which the man is holding flies and hits her face. Since it hits her face, this paper has kiss mark on it. The man can't forget about her. While he is working in his office, he finds her in the building opposite across the road. Then the man tries to make her turn to him so he throws hundreds of planes made by papers. None of them reaches her so the man is getting sad. But with suddenly the paper planes start to fly again and these planes is going to lead this story to a dramatic ending. It's a simple story but makes the viewer happy. The music played in this film made me feel so excited.

The tone of the picture is so cute that I was excited to start to watch this film . Papers are drawn lively, showing the passion of the man who has fallen in love. Paper airplanes flying from the window to the window are very beautiful. They are sometimes hit by a gust of wind, sometimes interrupted by a group of birds. A white paper airplane shines on the black and white screen. Also, the appearance of old city is wonderful and has certain atmosphere. The story is very common. A man is taken with a woman at the first meeting, so he is destined to find her and follow her, then his passion reaches her and they reunite. It's a 7-minute short film, however, it tells us the beginning of love and let us imagine the story which should be continued.
