Very stereo-typical Disney magic. Very nicely drawn, with a stereo-typical Disney look. Con: It bored me. Pro: At least it was only 6 minutes long.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

It was a cute little romantic animation that I watched by mere coincidence. I enjoyed it but I'd love to see more and conversations would be good.

Can something be fresh while also being an instant classic. Well Paperman would say yes. Beautifully drawn, divinely scored, this simple, optimistic, and incisive look into the role chance plays in love is what we all need today.

One of the greatest animated shorts to come out of either Disney or Pixar, Paperman tells a great story through purely visual storytelling and also has the added benefit of standing out even further thanks to its unique black-and-white 2D/3D hybrid art style. Truly a masterpiece.

just one of the best friggin visuals to illustrate a lonesomeness in the individuals and that love is timeless ✨ aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, indeed a way of 'calling people to step out of their accepted dissatisfaction and to be in communion with one another'
