L'enfant, la taupe, le renard et le cheval

A boy wakes up in a snowy field. Soon he is joined by a mole. The go on a quest together, the boy looking for a home, the mole for cake. Along the way they encounter first aa fox, then a horse, who join them. This looks like the likely winner for Best Animated Short Oscar. It's certainly the most beautiful, with a lovely impressionist look to its art, and credited personnel that will garner votes, including Woody Harrelson as a producer, and Tom Hollander, Idris Elba, and Gabriel Byrne taking three of the voices. Unfortunately, I found it puerile, an infantile meditation on death, and after the first few minutes I noticed that the dialogue sounded a lot like something you'd read in a fortune cookie.
