Watch: Adorable Animated Short ‘Matcha Mountain’ Made at Gobelins

I would love to live on Matcha Mountain, too! Look at this beautiful place. Plus endless match lattes? Yes please. The latest must see animated short film coming out of the prestigious animation school Gobelins in Paris is this one titled Matcha Mountain. (We also recently posted Direction les Champs as well.) Made by a collection of six students at the school as their graduation project, this one features a very soft, lovely, colorful 2D style. Here’s the official intro: Granny lives alone on Matcha Mountain. She rescues an injured balloon dog, addicted to matcha desserts by chance. (Of course–just like me, too!) Something begins to stir, and danger slowly creeps toward their fragile happiness… This is a dialogue free animated short that runs only 6 minutes and it’s entirely worth a watch. It also reminds me of the charming Miyazaki short last year, which was also made by the same Zijin Chen from this short. Support the talented filmmakers & view below. // Continue Reading ›
